I didn't like existing solutions for feeds reader. Many of them seemed overly complex, most of them require a database and don't event support sqlite. For a simple feed reader, it felt overkill. What I wanted was an easy setup that didn't rely on external databases or configurations.
My solution was to build a small CLI tool that print an HTML page from a list of feed URLs. I can just set it up in Cron, point NGINX to the generate HTML file and that's it, I have a lovely webpage with my feeds.
This was my first real project in Go and I'm still learning so I'm eager to receive feedback on the code.
