# Feed the Monkey
|
|
|
|
Feed the Monkey is a desktop client for [TinyTinyRSS](http://tt-rss.org). 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 PyQt and uses WebKit to show the contents.
|
|
|
|
You need to have PyQt installed and a account on a TinyTinyRSS server.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Linux + Windows
|
|
|
|
Download the [ZIP](https://github.com/jeena/feedthemonkey/archive/master.zip)-file, unzip it and then run:
|
|
|
|
On Linux you can just do (if you have PyQt4, python2 and python2-autotools already installed):
|
|
`sudo python2 setup.py install`
|
|
|
|
On Windows you need to install (those are links to the binary packages):
|
|
|
|
- [Python2 x32](http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.4/python-2.7.4.msi) or [Python x64](http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.4/python-2.7.4.amd64.msi)
|
|
- [PyQt4 x32](http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/files/PyQt4/PyQt-4.10.1/PyQt4-4.10.1-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.4-x32.exe) or [PyQt x64](http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/files/PyQt4/PyQt-4.10.1/PyQt4-4.10.1-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.4-x64.exe)
|
|
|
|
Then rename `feedthemonkey` to `feedthemonkey.pyw` and then you can run it by double-clicking.
|
|
|
|
### OS X
|
|
|
|
Download [FeedTheMonkey.app.zip](http://jabs.nu/feedthemonkey/download/FeedTheMonkey.app.zip) unzip it and move it to your Applications folder. After that just run it like every other app.

## 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
|
|
`s` star current article
|
|
`Ctrl S` show starred articles
|
|
`Ctrl Q` quit
|
|
`Ctrl +` zoom in
|
|
`Ctrl -` zoom out
|
|
`Ctrl 0` reset zoom
|
|
|
|
## Trivia
|
|
|
|
I just hacked together this one within one day so it is not feature complete yet and has no real error handling.
|
|
|
|
Right now it only loads unread articles and shows them one after another. I might add a sidebar in the future, we will see.
