Trying to stay up-to-date with tech news these days is insane. 10 open tabs every day, I barely manage to scroll through so I decided to build a tui that consolidates all of them.

I named it Devskim (previously grokfeed) and it aggregates posts from hacker news, selected subreddits, lobste.rs and Github trending in a single terminal feed. Posts that are essentially links open in the browser while the rest (post content and comments) can be read from the terminal. I used python and textual.

Similar tools that I am aware of:
• ⁠hackernews-TUI / circumflex (HN only)
• ⁠tuir / ttrv (Reddit only)
• ⁠newsboat (RSS reader, requires manual feed configuration per source)
• ⁠coven-cli (closest concept HN + Reddit + Lobste.rs), but PHP, no TUI, last updated 2015

All ideas for enhancements are super welcome!

I’m constantly trying to stay up to date with the latest tech news, especially AI, which is moving insanely fast. But opening 10 different tabs and scrolling through each one every morning was killing me, so I built something to fix that.

Disclaimer: I used AI for parts of the development since this was my first time building a tool like this but learned a ton. :)
