blogwatcher

blogwatcher is a command-line tool designed to help users monitor and track updates from blogs and RSS/Atom feeds. It solves the problem of manually checking multiple websites for new content by providing a centralized system to aggregate and track articles from various sources. Instead of visiting each blog individually or relying on web-based feed readers, users can manage their feed subscriptions directly from the terminal.

The tool provides core functionality for adding and removing blog sources, scanning feeds for new articles, and marking articles as read or unread. It supports both RSS and Atom feed formats, automatically detecting the feed type when scanning. Users can list all tracked blogs, view discovered articles, and maintain their reading status through simple commands. The CLI interface is designed for efficiency, allowing quick operations without leaving the terminal environment.

blogwatcher is ideal for developers, writers, researchers, and technical professionals who prefer terminal-based workflows and want to stay updated with multiple blogs without context-switching to a browser. It's particularly useful for tracking technical blogs, news sites, or any content source that publishes RSS/Atom feeds. The tool is lightweight, fast, and integrates seamlessly into existing command-line workflows, making it a practical choice for anyone who spends significant time in the terminal.
