Tinyfeed – CLI to generate static webpage from a collection of feeds
This project started because I wanted to consume my RSS/Atoms feeds the same way I consume news on HN: a lightweight webpage with a minimalist user interface where I can comfortably browse interesting links. I didn't like existing solutions for feeds reader. Many of them seemed overly complex, most of them require a database and don't event support sqlite. For a simple feed reader, it felt overkill.

In plain words
Tinyfeed is a command-line tool that generates a static HTML webpage from RSS and Atom feeds. It creates a lightweight, minimalist interface for browsing feeds without requiring a database or complex setup. Users can point a web server to the generated HTML file and run the tool via cron to keep content updated. The tool is designed for developers who want a simple alternative to feature-heavy feed readers.

What I wanted was an easy setup that didn't rely on external databases or configurations. My solution was to build a small CLI tool that print an HTML page from a list of feed URLs. I can just set it up in Cron, point NGINX to the generate HTML file and that's it, I have a lovely webpage with my feeds. This was my first real project in Go and I'm still learning so I'm eager to receive feedback on the code. Checkout the demo here: https://feed.lovergne.dev/
