Create a directory and virtualenv to run Temboz, in this case tembozdir: virtualenv tembozdir.If you do not have virtualenv installed, install it using pip install virtualenv (or use a package manager if required).If you do not have pip, install it by running python -m ensurepip (you may need to do this as root depending on how your Python installation is set up, or use a system package manager like apt-get).You will need Python 3.8+ installed on your machine, and a reasonably recent version of SQLite, ideally with the json1 and fts5 extensions enabled for optimum performance.You can check outstanding bug reports, change requests and more on the GitHub issue tracker. Filtering out junk pop culture makes for tremendous time savings. The default sort order is by feed signal-to-noise ratio.Ĭlicking on the 'details' link for a feed brings up this page, which allows you to change title or feed URL, and shows the RSS or Atom fields accessible for filtering.įeeds can be filtered by keyword, phrase, tag, author or using Python expressions. Feeds with errors are highlighted in red (not shown). You have the option of 'catching up' with a feed (marking all the articles as read). Feeds can be sorted based on other metrics.

The feed summary page shows statistics on feeds, starting with feeds with unread articles, then by alphabetical order. Clicking on the 'Thumbs up' icon highlights it in yellow and flags it as interesting in the database. Clicking on the 'Thumbs down' icon makes the article disappear, bringing a new one in its place (if available). The home page is the article reading interface, using a two-column layout. I currently have over 500 feeds subscribed to, and my filtering rules get rid of around 1/3 of the incoming firehose of information. I have been using Temboz as my feed reader since 2004. Multithreaded, download feeds in parallel.Share articles you flagged as 'Thumbs Up' via Facebook or as an Atom feed.Information Hunter-gatherer user interface: items flagged with a 'Thumbs down' disappear immediately off the screen (using Dynamic HTML), making room for new articles.Two-column user interface for better readability and information density.It is inspired by FeedOnFeeds (web-based personal aggregator), Google News (two column layout) and TiVo (thumbs up and down).

Temboz is a web-based RSS/Atom aggregator and feed reader that focuses on saving you time by letting you filter out articles you are not interested in.
