Hello everyone.

[Thomas A. Anderson]

Hi,

First and foremost as a long time user, and a newsboat addict I
would like to thank the developers for all your work in
developing newsboat. You are making the world a better place.
It's a great tool. Thank you.

As a result of my addiction to the news and newsboat, I have
written a small bash script to fill a void in the functionality.
So this is a sort of advertisement, request for comments. I
apologize if this is the wrong place for this message.

rss feeds are sometimes only teasers inviting you to visit a
website to read a wall of text there. My preference for such
walls of text is an ebook reader. So I scrape the site (bypassing
scraper detection) and pipe to pandoc then route the resulting
epub appropriately. The script is basically a front end for
curl-cffi to pandoc pipeline with quality of life tweaks. If you
don't know, curl-cffi is just a patched curl that impersonates
firefox/chrome. Rather than just lying about the user agent, it
impersonates the tls handshake, so it's undetectable. This script
has been brewing for a while and I use it via newsboat daily.
