tinyfeed is a CLI tool that generates a webpage from a collection of feeds. It's dead simple: no database, no config file, just a CLI and some HTML.

This release focuses on making tinyfeed a more stable and deterministic program. A stable experience is always better for users, and it also allowed us to design a new snapshot-based test suite, so regressions are much less likely to slip through.

It also included a bunch of fixes related to the --order-by option that was added in the previous release and was, sadly, quite full of bugs 😬.

Main items on the menu today:

• Stable ordering: Feeds and items now come out in the same order on every run.
• Discoverable sorting: --help now lists the values --order-by accepts: publication-date, update-date, feed-name and author.
• Lighter dependencies footprint: upgrad to gofeed v1.5, which removes 6 indirect dependencies.
• Lots of refactoring and a brand new test suite.

And the cherry on top: tinyfeed now publishes an Atom feed, so you can follow its releases! WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS EARLIER? A FEED FOR TINYFEED!

AI Disclosure:

• Implementation - Pair: I like directing IA when I have a refectoring in mind. On new feature I prefere avoiding it. I find that using IA for feature mean I spends less time time using the software myself during dev and then I miss the bugs.
• Testing - Hint: the new integration tests suit is 100% me, but the new unit tests are often generated by IA then reviewed / refactor by me.
• Review - Pair: for contributions it's 100% myself, I don't have much MR but I take a lot of time to review them. For my own code, as im a solo maintenr, the IA is the only one giving me reivew.
