# RSS Reader
A modern web-based RSS feed reader built with Rust and Rocket. Features a clean, dark-themed interface that allows you to:
- Add and manage RSS/Atom feeds
- View feed entries with titles, summaries, and timestamps
- Poll feeds for updates
- Organize feeds with categories
- Multi-user support with admin capabilities
## Installation
### Using Nix
This project is packaged with Nix flakes. To install and run it:
1. Make sure you have Nix installed with flakes enabled. Add this to your `/etc/nix/nix.conf` if you haven't already:
```
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
```
2. Install the package:
```bash
nix profile install git+https://code.everydayimshuflin.com/greg/rss-reader
```
Or run it directly:
```bash
# Run with a persistent database
nix run git+https://code.everydayimshuflin.com/greg/rss-reader -- -d /path/to/database.sqlite
# Or try it out in demo mode (uses in-memory database)
nix run git+https://code.everydayimshuflin.com/greg/rss-reader -- --demo
```
### Development
To set up a development environment:
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://code.everydayimshuflin.com/greg/rss-reader.git
cd rss-reader
```
2. Enter the development shell:
```bash
nix develop
```
3. Run the application:
```bash
# Run with a persistent database
cargo run -- -d rss-reader.db
# Or try it out in demo mode (uses in-memory database)
cargo run -- --demo
```
The application will be available at `http://localhost:8000`.
### Demo Mode
When running in demo mode (using the `--demo` flag), the application will:
- Use an in-memory SQLite database that is cleared when the application stops
- Create two pre-configured users:
- Admin user: username `admin`, password `admin`
- Regular user: username `demo`, password `demo`
