Have been a big fan of the Reeder RSS app and the New Reeder App for feed reading on MacOS and iOS for ages. That said, there's capabilities I've wanted to have it doesn't offer. So, with help from #claudecode, I decided to make a CLI that allows me to read from the local MacOS database.

Building tools like this -- and @mako has been an inspiration for this -- is a total next-level unlock for local apps.

Next will be building a set of Skills that can leverage this. 😁

@AnthonyBaker looks impressive, what was the missing feature that made you build this?

@flohgro More robust search, ability to slice-and-dice stored items and provide access to this for local and frontier models.

#RSS is one of the longstanding firehoses I use to follow a wide variety of stuff. From here, I send a subset to Readwise to read, highlight or to store locally as MD forever.

A CLI like this makes this super easy to do. Also can combine its capabilities in conjunction with others — like the Readwise CLI — to add additional superpowers.

@flohgro Have plans for additional features to this, including tagging capability from the CLI. Tags I set here carry across services. And Reeder is amazing overall.
