# 🦉 Bubo Reader
# 🦉 Bubo Reader (2.0)
Bubo Reader is a somewhat irrationally minimalist <acronym title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</acronym> and <acronym title="JavaScript Object Notation">JSON</acronym> feed reader you can deploy on [Netlify](https://netlify.com) in a few steps or [Glitch](https://glitch.com) in even fewer steps! The goal of the project is to generate a webpage that shows a list of links from a collection of feeds organized by category and website. That's it.
Bubo Reader is a hyper-minimalist <acronym title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</acronym> and <acronym title="JavaScript Object Notation">JSON</acronym> feed reader you can deploy on your own server, [Netlify](https://netlify.com) in a few steps or [Glitch](https://glitch.com) in even fewer steps! The goal of the project is to generate a webpage that shows a list of links from a collection of feeds organized by category and website. That's it.
It is named after this [silly robot owl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYSeCfo9-NI) from Clash of the Titans (1981).
You can read more about how this project came about in my blog post '[Introducing Bubo RSS: An Absurdly Minimalist RSS Feed Reader](https://george.mand.is/2019/11/introducing-bubo-rss-an-absurdly-minimalist-rss-feed-reader/)'
You can read more about how this project came about on my blog:
- [Introducing Bubo RSS: An Absurdly Minimalist RSS Feed Reader](https://george.mand.is/2019/11/introducing-bubo-rss-an-absurdly-minimalist-rss-feed-reader/).
## Getting Started
How to deploy Bubo Reader in a few easy steps with Netlify or Glitch:
- Clone or fork the repo and run `npm install` to install the dependencies.
- Update `feeds.json` to include categories and links to feeds you would like to see.
- Run `npm run build:bubo`
### Deploying to Glitch
That's it! You should now have a static page with links to the latest content from your feeds in the `public` folder, ready to serve.
## Differences in Bubo 2.0
Version 2.0 has introduced some substantial changes for Bubo! While the static output remains endearingly spartan, the engine that builds it has changed a bit.
Hopefully all of these changes are in services of making this project more useful to others and encouraging outside contributions.
Changes of note:
- Bubo has been rewritten in [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/). It's pretty slick! I anticipate the typing could be improved, but it's a start.
- You fill find an `.nvmrc` file in the root of this project. Learn more [about nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) if you're unfamiliar.
- The script will actually write your `index.html` file for you (Previously the build script simply ran `node src/index.js > output/index.html`). It makes a strong assumption that this file lives in the `public` folder.
- There is a somewhat sophisticated mechansim in-place for batching & throttling your requests, if needed.
## Anatomy of Bubo Reader
The static pieces:
- `conf/feeds.json` - a JSON file containing your feed URLS separated into categories.
- `config/template.html` - a [Nunjucks](https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/) template that lets you change how the feeds are displayed. This can be changed to anything else you like— see below.
- `public/style.css` - a CSS file to stylize your feed output.
- `public/index.html` - The HTML file that gets automatically generated when Bubo is run.
The engine:
- `src/index.ts` - The primary script you run when you want to build a new version of Bubo. It will automatically fetch the latest content from your feeds and build a new static file at `public/index.html`.
- `src/renderer.ts` — The renderer that loads Nunjucks, the template and understands how to process the incoming feed data. Prefer something else? This is the place to change it!
- `src/utilities.ts` — A variety of parsing and normalization utilities for Bubo, hidden away to try and keep things clean.
## Throttling
In the main `index.ts` file you will find two values that allow yout to batch and throttle your feed requests:
- `MAX_CONNECTIONS` dictates the maximium number of requests a batch can have going at once.
- `DELAY_MS` dictates the amount of de;ay time between each batch.
The default configuration is **no batching or throttling** beacuse `MAX_CONNECTIONS` is set to `Infinity`. If you wanted to change Bubo to only fetch one feed at a time every second you could set these values to:
```javascript
const MAX_CONNECTIONS = 1;
const DELAY_MS = 1000;
```
If you wanted to limit things to 10 simultaneous requests every 2.5 seconds you could set it like so:
```javascript
const MAX_CONNECTIONS = 10;
const DELAY_MS = 2500;
```
In practice, I've never _really_ run into an issue leaving `MAX_CONNECTIONS` set to `Infinity` but this feels like a sensible safeguard to design.
## Demos
You can view live demos here:
- [https://bubo-rss-demo.netlify.com/](https://bubo-rss-demo.netlify.com/)
- [http://bubo-rss.glitch.me/](http://bubo-rss.glitch.me/)
Not the most exciting-looking demos, I'll admit, but they work!
**Getting Started**
- [Deploying to Glitch](#glitch)
- [Deploying to Netlify](#netlify)
- [Keeping feeds updated](#updated)
<a id="glitch"></a>
## Deploying to Glitch
The quickest way is to remix the project on Glitch:
[https://glitch.com/edit/#!/bubo-rss](https://glitch.com/edit/#!/bubo-rss)
Just changed some feeds in `./src/feeds.json` file and you're set! If you'd like to modify the style or the template you can changed `./output/style.css` file or the `./src/template.html` file respectively.
Just changed some feeds in `./config/feeds.json` file and you're set! If you'd like to modify the style or the template you can changed `./public/style.css` file or the `./config/template.html` file respectively.
There is also a special `glitch` branch you can clone if you prefer:
[https://github.com/georgemandis/bubo-rss/tree/glitch](https://github.com/georgemandis/bubo-rss/tree/glitch)
The only difference between this branch and `master` is that it spins up a server using [Express](https://expressjs.com/) to serve your `./output/index.html` file on Glitch. Everything else is the same.
### Deploying to Netlify
<a id="netlify"></a>
## Deploying to Netlify
- [Fork the repository](https://github.com/georgemandis/bubo-rss/fork)
- From your forked repository go to and edcit `src/feeds.json` to manage your feeds and categories
- [Create a new site](https://app.netlify.com/start) on Netlify from GitHub
- From your forked repository edit `config/feeds.json` to manage your feeds and categories
- [Create a new site](https://app.netlify.com/start) on Netlify from GitHub
The deploy settings should automatically import from the `netlify.toml` file. All you'll need to do is confirm and you're ready to go!

### Keeping Feeds Updated
#### Using Netlify Webhooks
@ -40,25 +107,21 @@ To keep your feeds up to date you'll want to [setup a Build Hook](https://www.ne
- [Zapier](https://zapier.com/)
- [EasyCron](https://www.easycron.com/)
If you already have a server running Linux and some command-line experience it might be simpler to setup a [cron job](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron).
#### Using GitHub Actions
This approach is a little different and requires some modifications to the repository. Netlify started billing for [build minutes](https://www.netlify.com/pricing/faq/) very shortly after I published this project. Running `npm build` and downloading all of the RSS feeds took up a substantial number of this minutes, particulary if you had some kind of process pinging the webhook and trigger a build every 15 minutes or so.
Coming soon—there is an old branch that demonstrates this, but it needs to be revisisted in light of Bubo 2.0.
How is the The GitHub Action-based approach different? The same build process runs, but this time it's on GitHub's servers via the Action. It then **commits** the newly created file generated at `./output/index.html` back into the repository. Netlify still gets pinged when the repository is updated, but skips the `npm run build` step on their end, which significantly reduces the number of build minutes required.
#### Rolling Your Own
**Short Answer**: use the [`github-action-publishing`](https://github.com/georgemandis/bubo-rss/tree/github-action-publishing) branch for now if you'd prefer to use GitHub Actions to run your builds.
The GitHub Action is setup to build and commit directly to the `master` branch, which is not the best practice. I'd suggest creating a separate branch to checkout and commit changes to in the Action. You could then specify that same branch as the one to checkout and publish on Netlify.
## Anatomy of Bubo Reader
- `src/index.html` - a [Nunjucks](https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/) template that lets you change how the feeds are displayed
- `output/style.css` - a CSS file to stylize your feed output
- `src/feeds.json` - a JSON file containing the URLs for various site's feeds separated into categories
- `src/index.js` - the script that loads the feeds and does the actual parsinga and rendering
If you already have a server running Linux and some command-line experience it might be simpler to setup a [cron job](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron).

There's a little inconcistency with how feeds report certain things like
title, links and timestamps. These helpers try to normalize that bit and
provide an order-of-operations list of properties to look for.
Note: these are tightly-coupled to the template and a personal preference.
