ril - cli article manager

What is this

ril (stands for read it later) is a tool to manage article and videos you want to read/watch but don't have time for just now. It also allows you to cache your content to view it later, offline.

Installation

Dependencies

Build dependencies:

• A recent hare toolchain (see https://harelang.org/documentation/install/)
• make
• scdoc (optional, man pages generation)

Runtime dependencies:

• wget
• yt-dlp (optional, caching feature)
• gmni (optional, caching feature)
• sed
• awk

Installation steps

git clone https://codeberg.org/elb/ril.git
cd ril
make build-release # for a debug executable, just run make
make doc # build man pages
sudo make install # or doas, or you can change PREFIX

Usage

See ril -h for a list of commands and options. You can also do man ril and man 7 ril for config options.

Integrations

• Fish completion (extra/ril.fish) is available and installed automatically when make install
• Bash completion is also available, but has less features

Status

ril is usable, but there are still bugs/non-intuitive behavior I need to work on, mainly around caching.
