openring-rs

openring-rs is a tool for generating a webring from 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:

• the template is provided as an argument, not read from stdin
• we show a little progress bar
• we fetch all feeds concurrently
• we allow filtering feeds with --before
• we provide better error messages (via miette)

Install

cargo install --locked openring

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. You probably want to use Drew's stuff, it's likely better. But, this works for me.
