What

Playing around with HTMX, templ and Go.

This is a simple news reader that parses the RSS feeds from various portals and then allows reader to read the news by scraping the content from the original news site.

Uses Ollama for summary and chat. Chat allows user to ask questions about the contents of the article.

Running

make install
make build

./newsapp

It looks tries to connect to Ollama at `http://localhost:11434".

If you have a different host for Ollama then you can set the environment variable OLLAMA_HOST to the correct host.

OLLAMA_HOST=http://yourhost:11434 ./newsapp

Otherwise you could just download prebuilt binary from the releases.

If you are on Mac then it'll complain about it being from an unidentified developer and ask you to move it to trash.

The workaround is to run the following command in the terminal:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/binary

Or you can just right click on the binary and then click on Open and then click on Open again.

Otherwise you can go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General and then click on Open Anyway.

Env variables

The app uses environment variables to for configuration. You can take a look at sample .env file in the root directory.

Note:

You may get too many requests error from time to time due to rate limit on the various websites. You'll just have wait or click on some other menu.

It's using pre-load to load everything at once and then cache it. So, it should be faster after the first load.
