README

# FeedTheMonkey

FeedTheMonkey is a desktop client for [TinyTinyRSS](http://tt-rss.org). That means that
it doesn't work as a standalone feed reader but only as a client for the TinyTinyRSS API
which it uses to get the normalized feeds and to synchronize the "article read" marks.

It is written in C++ with Qt and QML, it also uses Blink to show the contents. You need
to have Qt 5.6 installed to be able to compile and have a account on a TinyTinyRSS server.

## Installation

If you run Linux then there is an AppImage on the [Latest release](https://github.com/jeena/FeedTheMonkey/releases/latest) page. You download it, make executable and are able to run, it should work on most of the distributions out there.

For ArchLinux I package it and it's available on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/feedthemonkey/

You can compile and install it everywhere Qt is suported, this means on macOS, Windows
and Linux.

## Keyboard shortcuts

The keyboard shortcuts are inspired by other feed readers which are inspired by the text editor vi.

`j` or `→` show nex article
`k` or `←` show previous article
`n` or `Return` open current article in the default browser
`r` reload articles
`F11` full screen
`1` night mode
`Ctrl Q` quit
`Ctrl +` zoom in
`Ctrl -` zoom out
`Ctrl 0` reset zoom

On macOS use `Cmd` instead of `Ctrl`.

## Trivia

This is version 2 of FeedTheMonkey, you can find version 1 which was written in PyQt in the v1 branch
of this repo. My goal is to make this usable on many different targets, for now it is only for
the use on a desktop computer but I'd like to see it on a mobile device too.
