About nom

nom is an RSS reader that runs in the terminal. Articles are rendered with Glow-styled Markdown for easier reading, and the interface is a simple TUI built with Bubbletea, navigated with Vim-style keybindings.

Feeds are synced locally and can be read offline. nom can also connect to Miniflux or FreshRSS as a backend. It supports marking items read or unread, filtering and naming feeds. It suits people who live in the terminal and want a lightweight reader.

Strengths

  • Vim-style keyboard navigation
  • Readable Markdown rendering of articles
  • Local sync and offline reading
  • Miniflux and FreshRSS backends

Limitations

  • Terminal only, no graphical interface
  • Version 3 required a migration step for existing users
