elfeed VS lazyblorg

The tools I use for living inside Emacs are: - EXWM as window manager https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm - mew for e-mail https://www.mew.org/en/ - org-mode for calendar and todo-list https://orgmode.org/ - terminology as shell/terminal (before it was xterm, but wanted transparency) https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology.md - elfeed as rss-reader https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed - hackernews for Hackernews-reader https://github.com/clarete/hackernews.el - browser eww and Firefox - pdf-tools for viewing pdfs and in mew they are converted to text view

Here's how I improved responsiveness in my config: https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed/issues/293

(Bonus) I want to dedicate some "perspective" or "tab" for programs such as Org Agenda, Elfeed, etc.

elfeed: An Emacs web feeds client.

If I come across an arbitrary element I want to ignore/skip, I don't bother looking at the tags. Instead I count element depth until I'm back at the original depth. I don't need to be strict about it since the goal is only to extract useful information from the input. In practice this always works fine. (I've been working in this space for almost 9 years, and I have yet to observe a case where this doesn't approach wouldn't work.)

No, I use Livemarks to get an indication a site provides a feed (i. e. the feed icon) and discover the feed URL without having to search for it in the page source. Then I add that URL to an external feed reader (Elfeed for years now).

I can't believe no-one has mentioned elfeed + elfeed-dashboard makes an awesome RSS reader. I used it to find this post through the reddit RSS post. But I can scan all the RSS things and read through them far more rapidly than visiting each idiosyncratic web page.

elfeed in emacs plus "Rss All The Things" https://sr.ht/~ghost08/ratt/ for pages that don't supply RSS (like https://apnews.com/hub/world-news)

Another method is used via Memacs filename module: it generates a text file with all files that start with a date- or time-stamp. This file can then be used for all sorts of workflows for retrieving files. For example, this is how I include images in my blog using lazyblorg and its "Smart tsfile Image File Search".

For my own Python tools, I wrote multiple naïve parsers myself (not following the usual lexical/syntactical parsing model from the books) in order to get something working. While my parsers are not considered general purpose parsers, they get the job done on my side. You might take a look at https://github.com/novoid/lazyblorg/blob/master/lib/orgparser.py for a dirty but fairly complex example. It's also using pypandoc as a fall-back for stuff I didn't parse on my own. It runs my static web blog generator.

Minimal preferred? Then lazyblorg might be an option, although it's just a works-for-me project with a few restrictions such as an empty line between different syntax elements like a paragraph and a list.

Between the first idea and the actual start of the implementation of lazyblorg there was a time span of several years. ;-)

My website is generated by lazyblorg which is using DuckDuckGo for searches. A query looks like that:

Shameless plug: I blog about Emacs but since I was too lazy to implement topic-specific feeds yet, you could add my general feed to get my Emacs-related articles as well. I'm sure that decent feed aggregators are able to filter for specific topics/words.

When your focus is "fast and easy creating a blog entry anywhere in my Org files" and you don't have special needs for JavaScript-foo, you might love https://github.com/novoid/lazyblorg which I built for https://karl-voit.at/

I've seen Weblorg, which is Native Elisp, but rewrites me to create a new file for each blog-post. Then there's Lazyblorg, but it's written in python, and also searches across all your .org files, not just a single one.

Therefore, I implemented my own (very naïve and nasty) Org parser for lazyblorg.
