@kletse kletse released this 04 Nov 20:18

Onward shows your unread articles one at a time, oldest first, and is driven from the keyboard. It reads from Miniflux or any Google Reader API server, and runs on Omarchy, macOS and in a terminal.

New in 6.1.0

  • Star what you want to keep. * stars or unstars the article on screen, on your feed server, and stays on it. If the server refuses, the star goes back and you're told why.
  • A Starred row in the picker, right after All unread or All read. It lists starred items newest first, read and unread, and every key works there: j marks read, m toggles, b saves to Readeck. An item you unstar there stays in the list until you leave. The row is hidden when nothing is starred, and Shift+A doesn't mark starred items read.
  • A star beside the position in the top bar, in the window, the Mac toolbar and the terminal, and a Starred badge while you read the list. The Mac's Article menu gets Star and Unstar.
  • Works with Miniflux and Google Reader API servers. Google Reader servers count stars up to 1000. Miniflux's own Google Reader integration wasn't tried against a real server.

Install on Arch / Omarchy

sudo pacman -U onward-6.1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Or from source: cd packaging && makepkg -si. onward-6.1.0-x86_64 is the standalone window; it needs qt6-base, qt6-declarative, qt6-svg and qt6-imageformats. onward-tui-6.1.0-x86_64 is the terminal version and needs nothing.

Install on macOS

Build the app from source with Xcode's command line tools and Rust; see Install → macOS. The terminal version is cargo install --path . --no-default-features --features tui --locked. Your settings carry over.
