#cuteNews

cuteNews is a user-friendly internet RSS news and podcast aggregator for Maemo5 and Linux desktop that can be extended to support feeds from any source using plugins.

Features include:

* Choice of 'OSSO' and 'Touch' user interfaces (Maemo5).
* Choice of 'Dark on light' or 'Light on dark' reading modes (Maemo5).
* Choice of URL, local file, custom command or plugin for subscription sources.
* Import subscriptions via OPML.
* Search articles using keywords or SQLite WHERE query.
* Option to save articles as favourites.
* Option to automatically update subscriptions.
* Option to automatically delete read articles.
* Option to automatically download enclosures.
* Option to add custom URL openers for handling links and enclosures.

##Using custom commands for subscription source

The only requirement for a custom command is that it must output a valid RSS feed response to STDOUT, for example:

wget -q http://talk.maemo.org/external?type=RSS2 -O -

##Custom URL openers

Custom URL openers can be managed either in the application, or by manually creating/editing the config file located at ~/.config/cutenews/urlopeners. Each URL opener has a display name, a regular expression (used to match the activated URL) and a command that will be executed when a URL is activated:

[My MP3 handler]
regExp=http(s|)://.+\.mp3$
command=/usr/bin/mp3player

Now, any link to an MP3 file will be opened using the specified command.
