FeedTheMonkey is a desktop client for TinyTinyRSS. That means that it doesn't work as a standalone feed reader but only as a client for the TinyTinyRSS API which it uses to get the normalized feeds and to synchronize the "article read" marks.

It is written in C++ with Qt and QML, it also uses Blink to show the contents. You need to have Qt 5.6 installed to be able to compile and have a account on a TinyTinyRSS server.

If you run Linux then there is an AppImage on the Latest release page. You download it, make executable and are able to run, it should work on most of the distributions out there.

For ArchLinux I package it and it's available on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/feedthemonkey/

You can compile and install it everywhere Qt is suported, this means on macOS, Windows and Linux.

The keyboard shortcuts are inspired by other feed readers which are inspired by the text editor vi.

On macOS use Cmd instead of Ctrl.

This is version 2 of FeedTheMonkey, you can find version 1 which was written in PyQt in the v1 branch of this repo. My goal is to make this usable on many different targets, for now it is only for the use on a desktop computer but I'd like to see it on a mobile device too.
