Hello HN community,

I'd like to show this project I've been working for a few months. It's yet another TUI feed reader, but a bit different from the other alternatives available. First, I wanted to have all my feed entries downloaded locally, in a way that I could decide how to store and sync those files. Second important aspect would be have it look and feel good, still running on a terminal, so I could SSH into my VPS from anywhere and run it.

So I created bulletty. It's a TUI RSS/ATOM reader written in Rust and ratatui, that is looking good and feels just right to use. Of course, all I've done so far was to fulfill my needs, but I think it's already in a good state that it can be used and appreciated by others as well.

For the feeds, I implemented something similar to an Obisidian vault. The feed categories are directories in your system and the entries are just markdown files. All your library is within `~/.local/share/bulletty`, so that you can sync and backup that the way you want.

There are so many other interesting features I want to implement in this project, such as support themes, ability to highlight and write notes on articles, display images (using kitty image protocol or sixel), a webview for the articles, etc. I'm working on it on my free time, so I'm really interested in other people's contribution. I also set it up for `hacktoberfest`, and I added some issues that I think would be good to have. If you feel you want to contribute, please do by sending Pull Requests, or creating new Issues for bugs or creating a new Discussion thread to talk about possible features or other ideas.

If you wanna try it, `cargo install bulletty`! Or just check the GitHub page for more detailed instructions.

Thanks and have a good day everybody!
