OldNews

Yesterday evening I released v1.4.0 of OldNews, my terminal-based client for TheOldReader.

The change in this release is pretty straightforward, but something I kept finding myself wanting. I've added three new commands to the application:

  • JumpToSubscriptions - Jump to the subscriptions panel
  • JumpToArticles - Jump to the articles panel
  • JumpToArticle - Jump to the article panel

By default they're bound to 1, 2 and 3. So now skipping around the UI and navigating to a different article or blog is just a bit quicker.

If you're a user of TheOldReader and fancy interacting with it from the terminal: OldNews is licensed GPL-3.0 and available via GitHub and also via PyPI. It can also be installed using uv:

uv tool install oldnews

If you don't have uv installed you can use uvx.sh to perform the installation. For GNU/Linux or macOS or similar:

curl -LsSf uvx.sh/oldnews/install.sh | sh

or on Windows:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://uvx.sh/oldnews/install.ps1 | iex"

If uv isn't your thing then it can also be installed with pipx:

pipx install oldnews

Once installed, run the oldnews command.
