A tool for generating a webring from Atom/RSS feeds. openring-rs is a tool for generating a webring from Atom/RSS feeds, so you can populate a template with articles from those feeds and embed them in your own blog. An example template is provided in in.html . This is a Rust-port of Drew DeVault's openring, with the primary differences being: we respect throttling and send conditional requests when using --cache (recommended!) (recommended!) the template is written using Tera and is provided as an argument, not read from stdin we show a little progress bar we fetch all feeds concurrently we provide better error messages (via miette) we allow filtering feeds with --before Demo To see this in action, you can look at the footer of this blog post. https://luke.hsiao.dev/blog/openring-rs/ Install cargo install --locked openring Usage A webring for static site generators written in Rust Usage: openring [OPTIONS] --template-file <FILE> Options: -n, --num-articles <NUM_ARTICLES> Total number of articles to fetch [default: 3] -p, --per-source <PER_SOURCE> Number of most recent articles to get from each feed [default: 1] -S, --url-file <FILE> File with URLs of Atom/RSS feeds to read (one URL per line, lines starting with '#' or "//" are ignored) -t, --template-file <FILE> Tera template file -s, --url <URL> A single URL to consider (can be repeated to specify multiple) -b, --before <BEFORE> Only include articles before this date (in YYYY-MM-DD format) -c, --cache Use request cache stored on disk at `.openringcache` --max-cache-age <MAX_CACHE_AGE> Discard all cached requests older than this duration [default: 14d] -v, --verbose... Increase logging verbosity -q, --quiet... Decrease logging verbosity -h, --help Print help (see more with '--help') -V, --version Print version Using Tera templates The templates supported by openring-rs are written using Tera. Please refer to the Tera documentation for details. Why a Rust port? Just for fun.
