Newsticker

Here at the Irreal bunker we’re trying to recover from an, um, excess of enthusiasm for our Easter dinner with relatives. My torpor is preventing me from putting together a detailed post so here’s a short take on something I’ve been meaning to mention.
When I think about reading RSS feeds from within Emacs, the only things that come to mind are Gnus and Elfeed. You all know by now that I’m a huge Elfeed fan and can’t imagine using anything else.

A couple of weeks ago I can across a post from Ruslan Bekenev about a third option: Newsticker. The interesting thing about it is that it’s builtin. Those of you who like minimal configurations with as few packages as possible may want to check it out. If you think you might be interested, take a look at Bekenev’s post. It looks like a very nice application but as I said, I’m very happy with Elfeed and have no desire to try anything new.
