RSS2EMail VS tuir

hrm, not sure I've tried to go the other way. I use rss2email to bring most of my RSS feeds into my inbox where I have all the power of mutt or mail(1) to mow through my feeds. I've never wanted to go the other direction.

as a twist on this, I like rss2email which drops my RSS feeds in my inbox, letting me use my existing MUA (no new keyboard commands to learn, syncs read-/deleted-state across machine via IMAP, works with multiple clients, etc).

However, I found it wanting, so I returned back to my previous habits of using old-Reddit for a few sub-reddits with which I regularly interact, and use my RSS reader, (rss2email ) for the sub-reddits that I read without interacting much. You can tack .rss at the end of any subreddit URL to obtain the RSS feed for it. And I find that much more pleasant (having all the power of mutt for mowing through posts of mild interest)

Alternatively, for myself, I use rss2email to pull my RSS feeds into my inbox, reducing the syncing problem to one that IMAP has already solved for me (and no new UI to learn, just the same mutt/claws interface I use for my email).

Which one? There's cortex and cReddit and reddio and rttt and rtv and tuir.

Considering that I only access reddit either occasionally from Relay on my phone or primarily modified version of the terminal TUI tuir (They killed the API token for TUIR, but you can still use it if you setup your own API key.) which I'm using now to write this comment from, it would likely reduce my Reddit usage by >90%. I usually have tuir nested in a tmux session, which I would likely change to a hackernews reader like hackernews-TUI.

this is the main repo? https://gitlab.com/ajak/tuir

Indeed, a fork, tuir, was made shortly after rtv stopped development.

For example, there's a couple reddit clients, YouTube viewers, Spotify clients and many many more.

I do most of my redditting with Tuir, a terminal UI for reddit. I integrated it with Vim, w3m, and Firefox.

I absolutely still enjoy it after >35 years in IT. The CLI is pure, and does only what you ask it to. It isn't riddled with ads. While you can get things like Reddit or even Youtube from the CLI, they just aren't as distracting in that format and you end up getting more done.

that said if you want a way of extracting the image urls, I have written a python script that does that and its on the gitlab issue I open for your exact question

I used rtv for Solène's "Old Computer Challenge" and it was passable. The project has gone fallow, supplanted by tuir, so that's where I'd turn today.
