toy-rss

toy-rss is an RSS/Atom reader implemented in go.

Ideally, this should provide a mechanism to easily add channels, view items, and manage incoming content.

This is mostly an excuse for me to re-learn go.

Core Components

view

The view package is responsible for two primary objectives:

• Displaying information on screen.
• Receving user input.

feed

The feed package handles incoming RSS and Atom feeds.

storage

The storage package is responsible for persisting state between starting and stopping the rss reader.

Utilities

agingmap

agingmap is a utility library used to have a limited size map. This prevents too much memory from being used, but still provides quick access to elements which need to be stored in memory.
