Elfeed is an extensible web feed reader for Emacs, supporting both Atom and RSS. It requires Emacs 24.3 and is available for download from MELPA or el-get. Elfeed was inspired by notmuch.

It is strongly recommended you have cURL installed, either in your PATH or configured via elfeed-curl-program-name. Elfeed will prefer it to Emacs' own URL-fetching mechanism, url-retrieve. It's also essential for running Elfeed on Windows, where url-retrieve is broken. Updates using cURL are significantly faster than the built-in method, both for you and the feed hosts.

Elfeed is broken into a multiple source files, so if you manually install it you will need to add the Elfeed package directory to your load-path. If installed via package.el or el-get, this will be done automatically.

This buffer will be empty until you add your feeds to the elfeed-feeds list and initiate an update with M-x elfeed-update (or G in the Elfeed buffer). This will populate the Elfeed database with entries.
