Carta Straccia is a RSS feed aggregator

RSS parsing uses libmrss.

Features

Linux only (yep, it's a feature)
Server/client architecture with simple CLI parameters
Multi-tasking using Vibe.d's Tasks and the message passing model to concurrently process multiple feeds
Single-file feeds configuration, with separate, per-feed refresh interval
Multiple endpoints support: Display the aggregated news in HTML, from the command line (WIP) or edit source/cartastraccia/endpoints.d to add your desired visualization
HTML endpoint visualization can be customized editing public/css/* and the frontpage's Diet Template in views/index.dt
RSS parsing and partial validation (WIP) by keeping the tags needed to a minimum: Carta Straccia follows a text-preferred phylosophy and tries to push any other information out of the way by omitting it when possible.

This program is compatible with a Unix-like OS, notably GNU/Linux. Other platforms (OSX, Windows) are not supported and they probably won't ever be.

Carta Straccia uses libmrss to parse RSS feeds. It can be installed in the following ways:

Using your package manager: libmrss can be installed from the main repositories of some distros, using the appropriate package manager. Examples:
```
  - Gentoo/portage: `emerge libmrss`
  - Debian/apt and derivatives: `apt install libmrss`
  - etc.
```

From source: If libmrss is not available for your distribution, it can be built and installed from source. See: https://github.com/bakulf/libmrss.

Requires a working D compiler and Dub:

git clone https://github.com/gallafrancesco/cartastraccia.git

dub build

You'll find the cartastraccia executable in the root project directory.

CLI options and sample first usage:

cartastraccia --help

For feeds configuration, see the sample feeds.conf file included.

Feel free to open issues and PRs. Current TODOs are:

Work on a comfortable and polished CLI endpoint
Add enpoints in general (new visualization, curses, improve HTML...)
Implement an efficient categorization of feeds (by topic maybe?)
Oneshot mode (no daemon, cron support), might be connected to local archive for article (DB/text)?
Documentation and usage examples.
