||
* Configuring Elfeed
|
||
Let's get our feeds from a collection of org mode files. By default, Doom configures =rmh-elfeed-org-files= to [[file:~/Dropbox/org/elfeed.org][elfeed.org]] in =org-directory=, so that will be fine.
|
||
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(use-package elfeed
|
||
:config
|
||
;; While I would like to share the /status/ of my reads, so ...
|
||
(setq elfeed-db-directory "~/dropbox/.elfeed/")
|
||
|
||
;; Let's limit what is initially displayed, and then expand it:
|
||
(setq elfeed-search-filter "@6-months-ago +unread -science -funny")
|
||
|
||
;; While not an elfeed-specific variable, this make reading articles
|
||
;; with images easier:
|
||
(setq pixel-scroll-precision-mode t)
|
||
|
||
(defvar ha-elfeeds-title
|
||
(concat (all-the-icons-faicon "rss") " Feed Reader"))
|
||
|
||
(major-mode-hydra-define elfeed-search-mode
|
||
(:title ha-elfeeds-title)
|
||
("Feeds"
|
||
(("U" (elfeed-search-fetch 4) "Refresh Feeds")
|
||
("u" elfeed-update "Update Screen")
|
||
("f" elfeed-search-live-filter "Filter")
|
||
("F" elfeed-search-clear-filter "Clear Filter")
|
||
("X" elfeed-unjam "Unjam"))
|
||
"Entry"
|
||
(("r" elfeed-search-untag-all-unread "Mark read" :color pink)
|
||
("R" ha-elfeed-tag-unread "Mark read/refresh")
|
||
("y" elfeed-search-yank "Copy URL"))))
|
||
|
||
(major-mode-hydra-define elfeed-show-mode
|
||
(:title ha-elfeeds-title)
|
||
("Entry"
|
||
(("n" elfeed-show-next "Next Entry" :color pink)

|

"Navigation"
|
||
(("o" link-hint-open-link "Open Link")
|
||

|
||

|
||
|
||
(defun ha-elfeed-tag-unread ()
|
||
(interactive)
|
||
(elfeed-search-untag-all 'unread)
|
||
(elfeed-search-update))
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
According to Ben Maughan and [[http://pragmaticemacs.com/emacs/to-eww-or-not-to-eww/][this Pragmatic Emacs essay]], we could easily browse an article in the GUI browser instead of EWW with capital B:
|
||
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(defun elfeed-show-visit-gui ()
|
||
"Wrapper for elfeed-show-visit to use gui browser instead of eww"
|
||
(interactive)
|
||
(let ((browse-url-generic-program "/usr/bin/open"))
|
||
(elfeed-show-visit t)))
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
And some global keys to display them in the =apps= menu:
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(ha-leader "a f" `("feed reader" . ,(ha-app-perspective "elfeed" #'elfeed)))
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
* The Feeds :elfeed:
|
||
The [[https://github.com/remyhonig/elfeed-org][elfeed-org]] project configures =elfeed= to read the RSS feeds from an Org file … like this one!
|
||
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(use-package elfeed-org
|
||
:after elfeed
|
||
:config
|
||
(setq rmh-elfeed-org-files (list (f-join hamacs-source-dir "ha-feed-reader.org")))
|
||
(elfeed-org))
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
The feeds that I would to read on Emacs involves longer essays, so I’m decided to trim the list down to avoid duplications with the RSS reader on my phone.
