Slipstream

Feed fetcher, filterer, and aggregator.

Crates

• slipfeed - Feed fetcher, filterer, and aggregator library.
• slipknot - Simple CLI slipfeed server utilizing a simple config.
• slipstream - Web UI for slipfeed, backed by persistent storage for entries.

Getting Started

slipknot is a command-line application for serving filtered/aggregated feeds from existing feeds a la Yahoo Pipes. A simple configuration file (e.g. slipknot.toml) is used to define feeds, relationships, and filters. While still a work-in-progress, running something like slipknot --config <your-config.toml> --port <your-port> will start a web server that exposes the following endpoints:

• /config for viewing the config.
• /all for viewing all entries.
• /feed/<feed_name> for viewing a specific feed.
• /tag/<tag_name> for viewing a feed for entries with a specific tag.

Roadmap

While the slipfeed and slipknot APIs may not be stable, they are essentially complete as-is. slipstream development has not yet started. While slipstream features overlap greatly with slipknot, the implementation will likely be completely independent.

• slipfeed
  • Add other built-in feed implementations (e.g. activitypub)
• slipknot
  • Add more filters (regex/pomsky, allowlists, etc.)
  • OPML conversion support
• slipstream
  • Design web interface
  • Use sqlite for storing entries and feed definitions
  • Track reads
  • Add authentication/private feeds
  • Allow filter definitions via gleam/lua
  • Support atom exports

Contributing

Simple bug fixes and suggestions are welcome. At this time, more in-depth contributions will likely be rejected unless communicated and planned ahead-of-time.
