This looks awesome, definitely gonna try this out! Any plans to add images/thumbnails? Looks like gofeed already returns them.

I don’t plan on adding thumbnails, as they go against my initial vision for tinyfeed as a text-first UI like lobste.rs. However! one of tinyfeed’s core tenets is flexibility and customization, so if you want thumbnails, you can simply create your own template. If you need help you can open an issue, I would gladly help.

I got it working, thanks! I think I found a minor bug though. I could only get the –template flag to work when the file is in the current working directory. Subdirectories and absolute directories didn’t work. I worked around this by simply cding into where my template was stored before running tinyfeed.

Even tinyfeed -i feeds.txt -o index.html -t ./template.html (with ./) results in:

fail to output HTML: fail to render HTML template: template: "./template.html" is an incomplete or empty template
