Newsboat is an RSS/Atom feed reader for the text console. It supports OPML import/export, podcasts (via companion program podboat), and can serve as a client to various feed aggregators (TT-RSS, The Old Reader, Newsblur, FeedHQ, ownCloud/nextCloud News). Its interface draws inspiration from mutt and slrn.

Successor of newsbeuter.

I installed Newsboat on Linux-Mint22, on Xfce. It's easy to configure: you put your feed addresses in a text file, then enter a few other parameters. Once set up, everything is easy: you use three navigation keys to read your articles: "enter," "q," and the "up" and "down" keys. In fact, the description says it can be used on the terminal, but there are no commands to type in the terminal, except to launch the software. Once launched, the feeds load automatically, and you use three navigation keys. At least with this one, there are no display bugs, unlike the other two feed software programs I used before. The terminal uses basic colors to show you the articles with links.
