FeedTheMonkey

Feed the Monkey is a desktop client for TinyTinyRSS. That means that it doesn't work as a standalone feed reader but only as a client for the TinyTinyRSS API which it uses to get the normalized feeds and to synchronize the "article read" marks.

It is written in C++ with Qt and QML, it also uses WebKit to show the contents.

You need to have Qt 5.4 installed be able to compile and have a account on a TinyTinyRSS server. This version 2 is still in a early stage so there are no binaries available yet but will be as soon as I figure out how to package and distribute them.

Installation

Clone the repo, install the Qt 5.4 SDK on your computer and use QtCreator to compile and run it.

Keyboard shortcuts

The keyboard shortcuts are inspired by other feed readers which are inspired by the text editor vi.

j or → show nex article
k or ← show previous article
n or Return open current article in the default browser
r reload articles
Ctrl Q quit
Ctrl + zoom in
Ctrl - zoom out
Ctrl 0 reset zoom

On OS X use Cmd instead of Ctrl.

Trivia

This is version 2 of FeedTheMonkey, you can find version 1 which was written in PyQt in the v1 branch of this repo. My goal is to make this usable on many different targets, for now it is only for the use on a desktop computer but I'd like to see it on a mobile device too.
