About:
Snownews is a lightweight, text-based RSS and Atom feed reader designed for the terminal. It provides a clean, ncurses-based interface for browsing and reading news feeds without leaving the command line. Its main value is delivering a distraction-free, fast, and resource-efficient news consumption experience for terminal enthusiasts.
Key Features:
  • Text-mode ncurses interface for efficient navigation
  • Supports both RSS and Atom feed formats
  • Minimal dependencies and lightweight footprint
  • Configurable keyboard shortcuts and layout
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring news feeds on headless servers or remote systems
  • Distraction-free reading from the terminal for developers and power users
Alternatives:
  • newsboat – More actively maintained and feature-rich, with extensive configuration options
  • rss2email – Delivers feed updates via email instead of an interactive terminal UI
