Hi there

I wanted a simple application to view RSS feeds on my desktop and decided to try out OpenTickr ( GTK-based).

https://www.open-tickr.net/

I am using FossaPup64 and found that it was available in the PPM.

On checking their website I found that there was an updated version.

I downloaded tickr_0.7.1-1_amd64.deb

It creates a desktop entry in the Internet menu.

It is easily configurable which can be carried out by the GUI. Alternatively, you can manually edit the configuration file in /root it is hidden as .tickr

*Tip* What I found out was that once the initial configuration files had been setup, you can delete the tickr-url-list.BAK file and once you configure your feeds it will give you the option to number your feeds. Useful if you decide to have multiple feeds running one after the other.
