OldNews is a terminal-based client for TheOldReader. Right now it is an evolving work in progress, built on top of oldas.

The application can be installed using pipx:

$ pipx install oldnews

The package can be install using uv:

uv tool install oldnews

OldNews stores files in a oldnews directory within both $XDG_DATA_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. If you wish to fully remove anything to do with OldNews you will need to remove those directories too.

Expanding for the common locations, the files normally created are:

• ~/.config/oldnews/configuration.json -- The configuration file.
• ~/.local/share/oldnews/* -- The locally-held data.

If you need help, or have any ideas, please feel free to raise an issue or start a discussion. However, please keep in mind that at the moment the application is very much an ongoing work in progress; expect lots of obvious functionality to be missing and "coming soon"; perhaps also expect bugs.

See the TODO tag in issues to see what I'm planning.
