Terminal RSS readers

This cluster consists of terminal-based RSS readers that let users subscribe to feeds, fetch articles, and read them in a text-based interface. Dated entries before the index start appear sporadically from 2010 to 2026, with slight clustering in 2022 and again in early 2026; three members have no source date. konpeito leads traction with 11 stars, while firefly-feeds and thedailyfeed show none.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
