Web browsers are a black hole of productivity. I try to use them as little as possible when it is time to focus. I try to use help, ?, or ?? with ipython, or --help at the command line as much as possible. What about that time I am trying to see what my online friends are posting on their sites? I used to used google reader quite heavily before that was taken down.

I am going to give a terminal rss reader a try for a bit and see how that goes for me. I have really struggled to get into an rss reader since google reader died.
installation
I installed with the recommended snap for Ubuntu.
sudo snap install newsboatAdding feeds
super simple
Running help for newsboat directed me towards their config files at the bottom.

I took most of my config from a blog post that I found by Evan Travers. It set some sane defaults to the reading width and vim keys.

No matter how many different guides I tried I keedp getting error code 127 when trying to open-in-browser. Please let me know if you know how to fix this. For now I am just going to roll with it.
