RSS Reader

Built-in RSS / Atom aggregator for BBS-scene news and anything else
you want to read alongside your messages.

Where

• Web: /rss/
• Terminal: main menu R

What it does

• Subscribes to a set of feeds (sysop-managed; users can't add yet)
• Polls each feed in the background — see RSS Poller
• Renders the latest items in a unified "river" view or per-feed
• Marks items read/unread per user
• Limited HTML inside items is sanitized via bleach

Default feed

Out of the box you'll see X-News (https://x-bit.org/rss/rss.xml),
a good BBS-scene news source.

Adding a feed

/admin/rss/ → Add Feed. URL is required; everything else is
optional. The poller will fetch on its next cycle (default 30
minutes; bump it down to test).

Categories

Feeds can be tagged into categories (scene, tech, news, …).
The web reader can filter by category once you have a few feeds.

Reading on terminal

The terminal reader doesn't render HTML — it falls back to the
plain summary field. Item bodies that are HTML-only get
collapsed by an html2text pass at fetch time.

Per-user read state

Read state is per-user; multiple users can share the same feed list
but each has their own unread badge.
