rssfs: A RSS reader as a file system

Are you unsure how to read RSS feeds? Why don't you just mount them?

What does this software do?

It will mirror RSS and Atom feeds as file systems. Example file system structure for one feed with two articles:

/tmp/mnt/rssfs/Open Source Feed/Hello World.html
/tmp/mnt/rssfs/Open Source Feed/Second Article.html

Compatibility

This software is written and tested mainly on macOS with OSXFUSE . Other FUSE implementations should work as well. Note that Windows support is still a work in progress and does not really exist yet. (Contributions welcome!)

Build

cd rssfs
go build

(You'll need GO111MODULES to be set to "on"!)

Configure

Copy rssfs.hcl-example as rssfs.hcl to your configuration directory and adjust your settings. The required path is:

%APPDATA%\rssfs.hcl
$HOME/Library/Application Support/rssfs.hcl
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rssfs.hcl

Set a mountpoint or, on Windows, a driveletter and one or more feeds which can be inside or outside a category. (Categories are not required. Subcategories are not supported.)

Run

macOS and other non-Windows machines

sudo ./rssfs

Windows

Not implemented yet. Sorry.
