openring-rs

A tool for generating a webring from RSS feeds.


Build Status Version License


This is a rust-port of Drew DeVault's openring, with the primary differences being: - the template is provided as a argument, not read from stdin - we show a little progress bar - we fetch all feeds concurrently - we allow filtering feeds with --before.

openring-rs is a tool for generating a webring from RSS feeds, so you can populate a template with articles from those feeds and embed them in your own blog. An example template is provided in in.html.

Install

cargo install openring

Why a Rust Port?

Just for fun. You probably want to use Drew's stuff, it's likely better. But, this works for me.
