Neat.

There are some RSS feeds with non-trivial html markup in them. How do you deal with them?

Where do you keep states, like downloaded items, current read pointers, etc?

I was trying to make a new kind of rss reader. I call it rss viewer (like a image viewer, video player). You just open up the current feed(s) and you can browse it. So no downloaded items, no feeds manipulation, no read/unread items.

The article view doesn't show the `item.content`, it parses the article url and extracts the header, image, content, which is formated in basic html and then translated to pretty terminal text.
