Going to play around with ElFeed to see about reading a small collection of articles in Emacs (see this introduction). Let’s load it up if it is installed.
(when (require 'elfeed nil t)
(define-key personal-global-map (kbd "r") 'elfeed))We just need to maintain a list of the RSS and Atom feeds we want to read. Personally, I don’t want a lot of entries. No announcements either…just quality essays. That said, Emacs-related essays would be fun to read in Emacs, since any code would be trivial to evaluate. ;-)

Note: I plan on updating my feed list somewhat organically, so that I don’t get overwhelmed with too much information.
Tag filters start with + and -. When +, entries must be tagged with that tag. When -, entries must not be tagged with that tag. Some examples,
+unread: show only unread posts. -junk +unread: don’t show unread “junk” entries.
This means, that I would like to not just mark things dynamically, but automatically tag certain feeds that I know belong to certain content.
Make sure that we can simply require this library.
