Bullets

Yeah, I made another RSS TUI to add to the heap; sorry.

Problem is I honestly tried a lot of the other solutions out there, but all of them were full blown readers that needed feeds to track and download. What I really wanted was something to parse a raw RSS/Atom XML file. I already have a backend aggregating my feeds, I just want the option to view it in the terminal vs my web browser. The result was Bullets: a minimal RSS/Atom feed browser.

I call it a feed browser because it’s not technically a reader. You can only open links in a web browser, following a philosophy I heavily believe in that posts should be read in their original context. Since it’s just parsing raw URLs, there’s no read/unread tracking. Just a list of posts. That’s exactly how I consume content on my current Feeds app, and now I can just consume the forwarded feed in my terminal.

I can also pass in most websites and grab their RSS automatically
