Project history and usage

nom is a Go terminal RSS reader. Its README describes a Bubble Tea TUI with Glow-styled markdown rendering, local sync and offline reading, Miniflux and FreshRSS backends, Vim-style navigation, read/unread state, filtering, feed naming, and OPML import.

Project history

The GitHub repository was created on 2022-12-21. The project sits in the early-2020s wave of Charmbracelet-style terminal apps: its user interface is built around Bubble Tea and article rendering around Glow/glamour-style markdown output rather than a browser or desktop feed reader.

The 2025-12-23 v3.0.0 release was a notable configuration break, changing FreshRSS and Miniflux backend definitions from single objects to arrays so multiple backend instances could be configured. That same release added XDG config support and tag-related fixes, showing the project had moved beyond a throwaway feed reader into a stateful terminal client with backend integrations.

Adoption history

Adoption is modest but real in terminal-RSS circles. Homebrew packages it as `nom`, the repo had hundreds of GitHub stars by 2026-07-01, and independent writeups describe it as a lightweight TUI for reading feeds in the terminal. It is not a major RSS ecosystem standard like Miniflux or FreshRSS; it is a package-manager-friendly client for people who want feed reading inside the shell.

How it is used

Package users install `nom`, configure feeds or a backend in the app config, and read entries from the TUI. Practical workflows include offline local reading, keyboard-driven triage, markdown rendering of feed content, OPML import, tagging, filtering, and syncing read state with Miniflux or FreshRSS.

Why package nerds care

nom is interesting as a small, modern Go CLI/TUI package: single executable, package-manager distribution, XDG-aware config, and integration with terminal UI libraries rather than ncurses. It is also a reminder that RSS tools survive in package sets as composable personal-workflow utilities, not only as hosted services.
