-Neko</h1>
-
-<p><code>neko</code> is a self-hosted, rss reader focused on simplicity and efficiency.</p>
-
-<p>Backend is written in <code>Go</code> and there is a simple javascript frontend and cat ears.</p>
-
-<p><em>note: the cat ears are in your mind</em></p>
-<h2><a name="features" class="anchor" href="#features" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-Features</h2>

-<ul>
-<li>limited features (#1 feature)</li>
-<li>keyboard shortcuts
-
-<ul>
-<li><strong>j</strong> - next item</li>
-<li><strong>k</strong> - previous item</li>
-<li>that&#39;s all you should ever need</li>
-</ul></li>
-<li>automatically marks items read in an infinite stream of never-ending content (until you run out of content and it ends)</li>
-<li>full text search</li>
-<li>scrapes full text of pages on demand</li>

-Installation</h1>
-<h2><a name="requirements" class="anchor" href="#requirements" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-Requirements</h2>
-
-<p>If you are using a binary, no dependencies!</p>
-
-<p>NOTE: I haven&#39;t put up any binaries yet.</p>
-<h2><a name="building" class="anchor" href="#building" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-Building</h2>
-<h3><a name="dependencies" class="anchor" href="#dependencies" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-Dependencies</h3>
-
-<ul>
-<li><a href="https://golang.org" rel="nofollow">Go</a></li>
-
-<li><p><a href="https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3" rel="nofollow">go-sqlite3</a></p>

-<li><a href="https://gcc.gnu.org" rel="nofollow">gcc</a></li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>$ go get adammathes.com/neko</p></li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>This will download <code>neko</code>, dependencies, and build them all in <code>$GOPATH/src/</code>. By default this should be something like <code>$HOME/go/src/</code>.</p>
-
-<p>A <code>neko</code> binary should now be in <code>$GOPATH/bin/</code>. By default this is usually <code>$HOME/go/bin/</code></p>
-<h1><a name="configuration" class="anchor" href="#configuration" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-Configuration</h1>
-
-<p>Everything can handled with a few command line flags. You shouldn&#39;t need to change the defaults most of the time.</p>
-
-<p>You can also set options using a configuration file <a href="http://yaml.org" rel="nofollow"><code>yaml</code></a>, described at the end of this README (but you probably don&#39;t need to.)</p>
-<h2><a name="storage" class="anchor" href="#storage" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-Storage</h2>
-
-<p>By default <code>neko</code> will create the file <code>neko.db</code> in the current directory for storage.</p>
-
-<p>You can override the location of this database file with the <code>--database</code> command line option or <code>-d</code> short option.</p>
-
-<pre><code>$ neko --database=/var/db/neko.db --add=http://trenchant.org/rss.xml
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>which is equivalent to --</p>
-
-<pre><code>$ neko -d /var/db/neko.db --add=http://trenchant.org/rss.xml
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>For expert users -- this is a <a href="https://sqlite.org/" rel="nofollow">SQLite</a> database and can be manipulated with standard sqlite commands --</p>
-
-<pre><code>$ sqlite3 neko.db .schema
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>-- will print out the database schema.</p>
-<h1><a name="usage" class="anchor" href="#usage" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-Usage</h1>
-<h2><a name="web-interface" class="anchor" href="#web-interface" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-Web Interface</h2>
-
-<p>You can do most of what you need to do with <code>neko</code> from the web interface, which is what <code>neko</code> does by default.</p>
-
-<pre><code>$ neko
-</code></pre>
-
-<p><code>neko</code> web interface should now be available at <code>127.0.0.1:4994</code> -- opening a browser up to that should show you the interface.</p>
-
-<p>You can specify a different port using the <code>--http</code> option.</p>
-
-<pre><code>$ neko --http=9001
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>If you are hosting on a publicly available server instead of a personal computer, you can protect the interface with a password flag --</p>
-
-<pre><code>$ neko --password=rssisveryimportant
-</code></pre>
-<h2><a name="add-feed" class="anchor" href="#add-feed" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-Add Feed</h2>
-
-<p>You can add feeds directly from the command line for convenience --</p>
-
-<pre><code>$ neko --add=http://trenchant.org/rss.xml
-</code></pre>
-<h2><a name="crawl-feeds" class="anchor" href="#crawl-feeds" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-Crawl Feeds</h2>
-
-<p>Update feeds from the command line with --</p>
-
-<pre><code>$ neko --update
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>This will fetch, download, parse, and store in the database your feeds.</p>
-<h2><a name="export" class="anchor" href="#export" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-Export</h2>
-
-<p>Export de facto RSS feed standard OPML from the command line with --</p>
-
-<pre><code>$ neko --export=opml
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>Change <code>opml</code> to <code>text</code> for a simple list of feed URLs, or <code>json</code> for JSON formatted output.</p>
-
-<p>Export is also available in the web interface.</p>
-
-<p>Import of OPML and other things is a TODO item.</p>
-<h1><a name="all-command-line-options" class="anchor" href="#all-command-line-options" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-All Command Line Options</h1>
-
-<p>View all command line options with <code>-h</code> or <code>--help</code></p>
-
-<pre><code>$ neko -h
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>Usage of neko:
- -a, --add <a href="http://example.com/rss.xml" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/rss.xml</a></p>
-
-<pre><code> add the feed at URL http://example.com/rss.xml
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>-c, --config string</p>
-
-<pre><code> read configuration from file
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>-d, --database string</p>
-
-<pre><code> sqlite database file
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>-x, --export string</p>
-
-<pre><code> export feed. format required: text, json or opml
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>-h, --help</p>
-
-<pre><code> print usage information
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>-s, --http int</p>
-
-<pre><code> HTTP port to serve on
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>-i, --imageproxy</p>
-
-<pre><code> rewrite and proxy all image requests for privacy (experimental)
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>-m, --minutes int</p>
-
-<pre><code> minutes between crawling feeds
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>-p, --password string</p>
-
-<pre><code> password to access web interface
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>-u, --update</p>
-
-<pre><code> fetch feeds and store new items
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>-v, --verbose</p>
-
-<pre><code> verbose output
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>These are POSIX style flags so --</p>
-
-<pre><code>$ neko --minutes=120
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>is equivalent to</p>
-
-<pre><code>$ neko -m 120
-</code></pre>
-<h1><a name="configuration-file" class="anchor" href="#configuration-file" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-Configuration File</h1>
-
-<p>For convenience, you can specify options in a configuration file.</p>
-
-<pre><code>$ neko -c /etc/neko.conf
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>A subset of the command line options are supported in the configuration file, with the same semantics --</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>database</li>
-<li>http</li>
-<li>imageproxy</li>
-<li>minutes</li>
-<li>password</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>For example --</p>
-
-<pre><code>database: /var/db/neko.db
-http: 9001
-imageproxy: true
-minutes: 90
-password: VeryLongRandomStringBecauseSecurityIsFun
-
-</code></pre>

-TODO</h1>
-
-<ul>
-<li>manually initiate crawl/refresh from web interface (done: /crawl/)</li>
-<li>auto-refresh feeds from web interface (wip: but may not be working right)</li>
-<li>import</li>
-<li>mark all as read</li>
-<li>rewrite frontend in a modern js framework</li>
-<li>prettify interface</li>
-<li>cross-compilation of binaries for &#34;normal&#34; platforms</li>

-History</h1>
-<h2><a name="early-2017" class="anchor" href="#early-2017" rel="nofollow" aria-hidden="true"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>
-Early 2017</h2>
-
-<p>I decided I didn&#39;t like the <a href="https://github.com/adammathes/neko_v1" rel="nofollow">original version of this that was python and mongo</a> so rewrote it. I wanted to learn some Go. So assume the code is not great since I don&#39;t know what I&#39;m doing even more so than normal.</p>
-
-<p>The Javascript frontend is still the same, I keep saying I will rewrite that too since it&#39;s old backbone.js code but it still seems to mostly work. It&#39;s not very pretty though.</p>

-July 2018 -- v0.2</h2>
-
-<p>Significant changes to simplify setup, configuration, usage. The goal was typing <code>neko</code> should be all you need to do to get started and use the software.</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>removed MySQL requirement (eliminating a ton of configuration and complexity)</li>
-<li>added SQLite support (easier!)</li>
-<li>auto-initialization of database file with embedded schema</li>
-<li>removed json-formatted config file -- all options are command line options</li>
-<li><code>neko</code> runs web server by default</li>
-<li><code>neko</code> server crawls feeds regularly rather than requiring cron</li>
-</ul>
