Canto
Canto is an Atom/RSS
feed reader for the console that is meant to be quick, concise, and
colorful.
It supports all major news formats RSS/RDF and Atom, as well
as importing from and exporting to OPML. The news content is easily
downloadable and as such Canto also has limited podcasting support.
It is intended to allow users to crank through feeds by
providing a minimal, yet information packed interface.
There is no navigating menus, and no dense blocks of
unreadable white text. An interface with almost infinite customization
and extensibility using the excellent Python
programming language. Everything used to
configure Canto is actually part of the Python
interpreter.
