    I quite like this! Now do BSD. ;)

      Thanks! Can you tell me some good BSD resources? I’ll just add them to tuxurls. You can then rearrange the sites and put BSD resources on top.

        Off the top of my head, there’s https://undeadly.org, the OpenBSD announce@ mailing list… and that’s all I can remember unfortunately. Perhaps someone else can chime in for {Free,Net}BSD resources.

          There’s also the DragonflyBSD Digest (also posts about other BSDs) and Vermaden’s Valuable News

            @icy, @zk, thanks for your feedback. I’ll be adding some of these to tuxurls!

      Is there an RSS feed by default? It’d be good to subscribe, but I can’t find it automagically with my feed reader - it may be its missing rel=alternate?

        Very nice interface.

        Is there a reason it is hardcoded to linux news? It seems it would be quite straight forward to extend the scope.

          Thanks! I have several sites for topics that interest me – DevURLs for developer news, TechURLs for technology news, and MathURLs for mathematics news. I like to keep the sites separate because this way the topics are isolated and the search results are very precise. For example, if I need to find latest news about Python, I search on DevURLs (devurls.com?q=python), if I need to find latest discoveries about Fibonacci numbers, I search on MathURLs (mathurls.com?q=fibonacci), etc.

          Thanks! It makes for a very nice morning read. Sorting items by popularity is also a good way to discover important issues which tend to float to the top of the aggregators

            You’re welcome! I’m glad you like it. I’ll also be adding a flat mode where all the news are sorted by date rather than by site. This way you can scroll through all the news at once rather than site by site.
