This is a simple RSS feed reader that displays feed information in your terminal. It is written in Ruby and uses the Feedjira and HTTParty gems to parse and display RSS feeds.
To use the reader, simply run the rss_feed.rb file in your terminal. You will be prompted to enter the URL of the RSS feed you want to read. If you press Enter without entering a URL, the reader will use the default URL (https://techcrunch.com/feed/).
The reader will then display the title and description of the feed, followed by a list of the entries in the feed. For each entry, the reader will display the published date, title, summary, and URL.
To use the reader, you will need to have Ruby installed on your system. You can download Ruby from the official website: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/
You will also need to install the Feedjira and HTTParty gems. You can do this by running the following commands in your terminal:
gem install feedjira
gem install httpartyOnce you have Ruby and the required gems installed, you can download the rss_feed.rb file from this repository and run it in your terminal.
Here's an example of the reader in action:
$ ruby rss_feed.rb
