Hi JeffreyDeLeo,

Thanks for the suggestion. I am aware of gwene and I have used it in the
past. But I would prefer something which does not depend on a
centralized server. This defeats one of the purposes of RSS itself, in
my opinion. And there is also the issue of private feeds, of course.

I really think that nrss should be improved to solve its shortcomings
and it seems that elfeed is a very good feed reader. I wish I had the
skills to propose some patches or something.

I will study the code and the documentation on how to build a new
backend, but it will take months for me. Maybe if I start something this
will motivate real elisp programmers to chime in?

Cheers.

G.
