wnews, a console-based RSS client for UNIX
================================================================
           http://www.kerneled.org/projects/wnews/
----------------------------------------------------------------
This application offers both standard console output of RSS
feeds and an interactive curses-based front-end. The console
output provides RSS feed output in an easily parseable format
(for re-use by CMS systems, for example). The curses front-end
provides an interactive experience to reading RSS feed contents.

Do other console clients exist for RSS?
================================================================
At the time of writing, no. At the time of release, snownews
is now available. Unfortunately, it does not parse an RSS feed
fully and only provides a curses interface to fetch RSS feeds
periodically. It is still a decent client if you only use RSS
lightly, wnews is for people interested in taking advantage of
an RSS feed's description field (allowing to read more into
headlines when the field is put into use). Snownews can be found at,
