User Testimonials
“Then I start using [newsbeuter] and I have to say it is exactly what I wanted. [...] What blows me away is how quickly I can rip through feeds, search through them, and how I can save the text of articles.”
― Zed Shaw, "I Want The Mutt Of Feed Readers"
“I am not sure how often you get feedback, but I wanted to just say thank you for working on newsbeuter. It is a joy to use in my screen session along with irssi and alpine. I especially appreciate the UTF-8 compatibility (I read articles in English/Japanese on a regular basis). Please keep up the great work :)”

“I'm a new newsbeuter user, and I only want to congratulate you for this good program. I was previously using other feed programs like "Liferea", but they're slow and uses a huge amount of memory. It's also very configurable, that allow me to personalize it.”
