You can probably tell I've been heavily into Emacs again recently, and Emacs is like heroin and once I start I just want more. So, I've returned to using Elfeed for reading my RSS feeds.
Since I use Doom Emacs, configuring Elfeed is easy.
Uncomment (rss +org)
in init.el and create a new file at ~/org/elfeed.org
and start adding feeds. The +org
adds support for using Org mode to define the feed list . Something like...
* root :elfeed:

I use Org links so that they're easy to read but one can just as easily use only the feed URL for each entry.
Now I'm always just an M-x elfeed
away from catching up on my RSS feeds. I have an Emacs bookmark pointing to an Elfeed query showing just recent unread entries, like so
Elfeed unread @2-week-ago +unread
While it's nice having my feeds in the same environment as nearly everything else I'm doing, using Emacs for this ain't pretty, so I eventually tire of seeing everything in all text all the time and will happily retreat back to NetNewsWire. But for now Elfeed is fast and fun.
