## bbcli：一个基于Rust的BBC新闻终端阅读器 bbcli是一个使用Rust和ratatui库构建的BBC新闻命令行界面。它在你的终端内提供了一种紧凑的、类似Vim的导航体验。适用于Linux、macOS和Windows，可以通过预构建的二进制文件（GitHub Releases）或像`cargo-binstall`和`cargo install`这样的包管理器进行安装。 该应用显示一个编号的新闻标题列表，可以通过`j/k`（或方向键）进行导航。用户可以在浏览器中打开文章（`o`），以无干扰阅读模式查看文章（`a`/Enter），或刷新新闻源（`r`）。一个预览窗格（使用Tab键切换）显示文章图片和描述。 bbcli支持各种图像协议（自动、半块、Sixel、Kitty），并提供可定制的主题（亮色/暗色）和排序方式。它还具有一个CLI模式，用于快速访问新闻标题，无需TUI。新闻每5分钟自动刷新一次，并缓存以供离线阅读，并提供可配置的缓存清除选项。自定义键绑定也通过TOML配置文件支持。

一位开发者在Hacker News分享了“bbcli”，一个基于终端的新工具（TUI & CLI），用于通过RSS订阅浏览BBC新闻。用户可以直接在终端阅读标题、预览和全文。 这个帖子引发了关于TUI优势的讨论——速度、一致性和键盘控制——与通用文本浏览器（如Lynx）相比，后者在处理现代网站时存在困难。一位评论员提到了模拟Ceefax等旧文本服务的怀旧吸引力。 对话还涉及了关于网站探测的法律问题，引用了过去有人因“计算机滥用”罪被起诉的案例，当时他正在测试一个网站。尽管如此，许多评论员赞扬了这个工具，强调了日常使用的TUI的实用性，并链接到构建类似应用程序的资源，例如Ratatui。最后，一个不同的声音表达了对从BBC获取新闻的怀疑。

bbcli automatically caches feeds and articles to disk for offline reading:

To clear the cache:

Custom keybindings can be defined in either:

$HOME/.bbcli

Or:

$HOME/.config/bbcli

See example-config.toml for all available options:

# Theme: "light" or "dark" (default: "dark")
theme = "dark"

[keybindings]
quit = 'q'
open = 'o'
open_new_tab = 'O'
refresh = 'r'
latest = 'l'
scroll_up = 'k'
scroll_down = 'j'
scroll_bottom = 'G'

Copy the example config:

cp example-config.toml ~/.bbcli

Or create your own custom configuration with preferred keybindings and theme.

Inspired and extended by the original bbcli python version.
