A literate programming file for configuring elfeed in Emacs.
Let’s get our feeds from a collection of org mode files. By default, Doom configures rmh-elfeed-org-files to elfeed.org in org-directory, so that will be fine.
(use-package elfeed
:config
;; While I would like to share the /status/ of my reads, so ...
(setq elfeed-db-directory "~/dropbox/.elfeed/")
;; Let's limit what is initially displayed, and then expand it:
(setq elfeed-search-filter "@6-months-ago +unread -science -funny")
;; While not an elfeed-specific variable, this make reading articles
;; with images easier:
(setq pixel-scroll-precision-mode t)
(defvar ha-elfeeds-title
(concat (all-the-icons-faicon "rss") " Feed Reader"))
(major-mode-hydra-define elfeed-search-mode
(:title ha-elfeeds-title)
("Feeds"
(("U" (elfeed-search-fetch 4) "Refresh Feeds")
("u" elfeed-update "Update Screen")
("f" elfeed-search-live-filter "Filter")
("F" elfeed-search-clear-filter "Clear Filter")
("X" elfeed-unjam "Unjam"))
"Entry"
(("r" elfeed-search-untag-all-unread "Mark read" :color pink)
("R" ha-elfeed-tag-unread "Mark read/refresh")
("y" elfeed-search-yank "Copy URL"))))
(major-mode-hydra-define elfeed-show-mode
(:title ha-elfeeds-title)
("Entry"
(("n" elfeed-show-next "Next Entry" :color pink)
("p" elfeed-show-prev "Previous Entry" :color pink))
"Read"
(("b" elfeed-show-visit "Show in EWW")
("B" elfeed-show-visit-gui "Show in Browser")
("y" elfeed-show-yank "Copy URL"))
"Navigation"
(("o" link-hint-open-link "Open Link")
("q" bury-buffer "Close")
("Q" delete-window "Close Window")))))
(defun ha-elfeed-tag-unread ()
(interactive)
(elfeed-search-untag-all 'unread)
(elfeed-search-update))According to Ben Maughan and this Pragmatic Emacs essay, we could easily browse an article in the GUI browser instead of EWW with capital B:
(defun elfeed-show-visit-gui ()
"Wrapper for elfeed-show-visit to use gui browser instead of eww"
(interactive)
(let ((browse-url-generic-program "/usr/bin/open"))
(elfeed-show-visit t)))And some global keys to display them in the apps menu:
(ha-leader "a f" `("feed reader" . ,(ha-app-perspective "elfeed" #'elfeed)))The elfeed-org project configures elfeed to read the RSS feeds from an Org file … like this one!
(use-package elfeed-org
:after elfeed
:config
(setq rmh-elfeed-org-files (list (f-join hamacs-source-dir "ha-feed-reader.org")))
(elfeed-org))Clearly, I know what I write, but often good to see how it displays elsewhere.
