Never fear, you're already covered: https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term

Do you have any more info about the controller/implementation for this project? I'd love this kind of system on my espresso machine!

I'd hope they opt out of participating in the shield program?

It's probably more idiomatic to use org-mode (not that it makes a difference really). Here's a random example I found: https://github.com/larstvei/dot-emacs

NewsBlur (https://newsblur.com/) is not quite the same, but it fits the bill for me.

I'm on the 4.11.9-1-ARCH kernel, but same Firefox version. I'm only able to reproduce with the Zotero addon enabled, are you using it too?

I've got 'bind Space:magic-space' in my .bashrc, which performs history expansion after you hit space, maybe that partially helps. I guess there's friction if the expanded command isn't the one you want, which the interactive methods are better at dealing with.

I know that both Miniflux (previously used) and TinyTinyRSS (currently using) work with Reeder (via the Fever API). It's a bit annoying that the Fever API doesn't provide any way to add feeds though, so you'll need to do that in-browser.
