Why do I hate irssi? I dunno, feels wrong and I wish I knew. Every 3-4 years I try to convince myself I'm being stupid, read docs go "that makes sense" and then end up hating it
@silverwizard I've been happy-ish with Friendica as an RSS reader. I generally understand not wanting to have something as a web app, though for a thing meant to link me to web pages, I can live with it. It'd be nice to be able to get a nice summary in the terminal, though. I thought about writing my own RSS reader back in the day, but it turns out that "really simple syndication" is not exactly "simple".
@silverwizard Writers are fairly trivial, readers are just complicated enough (due to the wildly differing possible formats) that it was just easier to find something existing that did the job than it was to reinvent the wheel.

For RSS I want something GUI since it is likely to contain images, but I might think about newsboat and w3m or something a while

I've also written probably a half dozen RSS readers/makers before, so I'm not entirely worried

IRC over RSS sounds like a bad enough idea for me to take it seriously
