RSS Feed - GNOME Shell Extension

ESLint shexli vitest GitHub Release

A modern GNOME Shell extension for following your favorite feeds right from the notification bar. Featuring two layout modes, notifications, and a fully editable list of RSS, Atom, and RDF sources.


What it does

Keeps your RSS feeds one click away - right in the GNOME status panel.

  • Fully redesigned UI - built from scratch for modern GNOME desktop
  • Panel badge shows a notification when you have unread articles
  • Two layout modes - Classic, per-feed submenus, or Minimal, a single chronological list mixing all sources
  • Relative timestamps on every article (2m, 4h, 3d) so you always know how fresh it is
  • Mark as read with a two-step confirmation button - no accidental clicks
  • Native desktop notifications for new articles, with optional lock screen delivery
  • Full feed sources management in preferences - add, remove, edit, and Drag-and-drop reordering of feed sources
  • Supports RSS, Atom, RDF, and FeedBurner - format is auto-detected
  • Configurable refresh intervals and article limits

See CHANGELOG.md for the detailed version description and full history.
