- Update `feeds.json` to include categories and links to feeds you would like to see.
|

- Run `npm run build:bubo`
|
||||
|
||||
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.

<strong> Differences in Bubo 2.0</strong>
|
||||
</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
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 will 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.

- `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!
