rss_reader

Small project and exercise with rust to make an RSS reader

usage

There are two ways to go about using the reader

Via cargo

Requires installation of Rust and Cargo

cargo build
cargo run -- [ARGS]

Via binary

You can also run the binary (provides the ability to use shortcuts as cargo needs 'long' version arguments)

cargo build //builds the binary, usually in target for most JetBrains IDEs
cd 'target'
./rss_reader [ARGS]

url
