support for single use feedreading (with or without ini) #34

Open

Description

@infominer33

Sometimes I want to print one or two feeds onto a single page so I can review them\for research.

I made a "try.ini" to re-use for these cases, but realizing I need to add a line to my makefile so it deletes the existing database before running the feed, otherwise I get posts from previous runs mixed in.

Wondering if you'd consider enabling that by commandline, something like:

pluto b "https://identosphere.substack.com/feed/, https://decentralized-id.com/feed.xml" -t planetid -o try/

or perhaps:

pluto b try.ini -single -t planetid -o try/

    Good point. Great idea. +1 - I have planned for a long time and actually started early this year to add more configuration formats including just a list of feeds (no .ini - just text) and the "standard / classic" opml - I started / built an opml (outline) parser https://github.com/feedreader/pluto/tree/master/opmlparser but than sorry it came all to an halt.

    About testing I guess you want to test the merge of the templates / page generation - otherwise if you want to test the feed you can use the heart of pluto, that is, the feedparser in a little script, see https://github.com/feedparser/feedparser#read-feed-example.

    Maybe make a list of some goodies for 2021 and the next pluto update:

    • also high on the list is support for tags / categories - from the feed and custom
    • and better support for (multi) author info from the feed
    • and your idea - easier configuration (just "plain" feed lists) and testing of merging of templates

    Thanks again. Keep it up.

    love it! mostly my single-use case is research for content creation \ link collection... or even to see if I already wrote about something..

    I just like looking at the entire blog on one page, then can even import to notion and export the whole thing to markdown for making curated lists and sharing\learning about the history of an org\company
