pwr's Introduction

pwr

Summary

pwr (paced web reader) is a script and terminal-centric workflow I use for keeping up to date with various sources online, shared on the off chance it's useful to you too.

See its page on Muxup.com for more information about why it exists and how to use it.

Implementation details

  • Ships with an example list of sources and "fetchers" (functions that will return extracted URLs and titles). This includes examples of using BeautifulSoup to extract from HTML in cases where RSS feeds are not present or are insufficient.
  • Data is stored in JSON in $XDG_DATA_HOME/.local/share/pwr. It does assume Python 3.6+ dictionary semantics of entries being maintained in insertion order.
  • Supporting fetching data from multiple sources in parallel is an obvious extension. It simply hasn't been slow enough so far to make it worth prioritising.
  • Caching of RSS feeds and similar isn't implemented. This is fine if you're running it once every day or so as intended, but if you're looking to run it more regularly you should add improvements in that area.
  • pwr is a quick script that scratches an itch. It's definitely not the world's most robust or clean Python code.

pwr's Issues

Discussion: exploring collaboration opportunities with Offpunk

Hello,

Someone just shared pwr on the offpunk-users mailing-list:

https://lists.sr.ht/~lioploum/offpunk-users/%[email protected]%3E

There seem to be some similarity between the goals of pwr and offpunk

https://sr.ht/~lioploum/offpunk/

Given that both tools are written in python and that offpunk has a modular approach with multiple tools (netcache to download and cache, ansicat to render in the terminal, opnk to decide how to open a given file/url), there might be opportunities to share code (or not).

We welcome you to discuss this on the users mailing-list or the devel mailing-list : https://lists.sr.ht/~lioploum/offpunk-devel

This is, of course, an informal introduction and I would completely understand that pwr may have the goal of being a personal-project/standalone tool. Or that Offpunk’s philosophy might be too different from the one envisioned by pwr.

Whatever happen, it is nice to see more tools addressing the browsing offline problem and I wish long live to PWR.
