BRss is an offline RSS reader written in Python. It is a complete rewrite of another python RSS reader (Naufrago!), based on the concept of service/client. It uses the dbus library to enable communication between the service and clients.
BRss consists of two applications:
1. brss-engine
brss-engine is a dbus service. Its main features are:
- periodically downloads feed articles, with their images
- notify on updates
- transparently replaces remote image tags on article request.
- search articles
2. brss-reader
brss-reader is a GTK+ client for brss-engine.
- Connects to brss-engine
- Keyboard feed and article navigation (à la Thunderbird)
- full-screen article viewing
- Article search engine
