helm-elfeed: A Helm interface for Elfeed

Manage your RSS feeds inside Emacs with Helm and Elfeed.

This README uses Org mode.

Features

• List and select feeds with Helm’s completion mechanisms and perform specific actions:
  • Show
  • Update
  • Edit (requires elfeed-org)
• Other than your feeds, predefined generic search queries are available:
  • All
  • Marked/starred
  • Unread

Installation

Dependencies

• Helm
• Elfeed
• elfeed-org (optional, for editing feeds)

Installation with Melpa

Not yet available.

Installation from Github

Download helm-elfeed.el to your .emacs.d folder and add the following code to your init file:

(use-package helm-elfeed
  :after elfeed
  :load-path "relative/path/to/helm-elfeed.el")
  :config
  (define-key elfeed-search-mode-map (kbd "C-i") 'helm-elfeed) ; Optional
)

Optionally, you can also download the tests directory.

Usage

Simple as that:

M-x helm-elfeed

Configuration

Certain helm-elfeed variables are customizable, see (customize-group "helm-elfeed").

The following are probably the most relevant ones:

• helm-elfeed-generic-search-queries: list of string pairs (NAME . QUERY), for example, ("All" . "@6-months-ago").

Ideas & plans

As for my own needs, helm-elfeed is currently feature-complete.

Alternative and related Emacs packages

• elfeed-summary: tree-based feed summary interface for elfeed. I had used this before the development of helm-elfeed.
