• RSS ticker system like TV NEWS

    Yesterday while playing got inspired to an only proyect I had in mind
    but totally forgot, is a news ticker system based on RSS feeds
    that will scroll on your top/button monitor from right to left.

    - Rust a modern,fast and memory safe("safer", nothing is 100% safe) system programming language.
    - uses CPU and GPU with Vulkan instead of opengl
    - Native to wayland, so works not just on wlroots compositors, does not work on old xorg.
    - willl add more cool features as the ability to click on the feed item.

    You can launch from sway or hyprland etc,
    etc. just like any other program and waybar etc.

    - https://git.sr.ht/~rek2/rss-ticker

    I only created the git not the project page with mailing list for git-email colaboration will soon, if someone wants to colaborate(do not know why I ask...) I will put some time to create the project page and mailing list.

    enjoy! Today going to add a couple nicer features like be able to click and open on default browser or a TUI/CLI browser like "chawan"

    Happy Hacking

    ok my project this afternoon is to add a wayland/sway signal
    so when I do mod+t it will pause the scrolling and then use
    VI keys to move left or right on rss items and press enter to open
    on xdg-open or if set a custom browser so we can add cha/w2m etc

    Will reply when done, all depends on research and bug fixing

    Happy Hacking
