Show HN: blogtato — a CLI RSS/Atom reader inspired by Taskwarrior. Rust, synced via Git. Repo: https://github.com/kantord/blogtato (3★). The core idea: your feed state lives in a git repo, not someone else's server. Good for power users and automation.
Taskwarrior-style UX matters: discrete commands, tags, filters, terse verbs. That maps straight to scripts and cron jobs. Want "mark read + tag X" in a pipeline? CLI-first tools make that reliable—no brittle browser automation.
Git as sync layer: offline access, diffs = audit log, standard merge tools for conflicts, and no server to run. For a solo dev shipping a tiny tool, that choice cuts ops, support, and surprises.
Takeaway: build for builders — plain-text state, composable CLI, and git for sync. Fewer moving parts, easier automation, clearer history. Read the code: https://github.com/kantord/blogtato — anyone using git-as-sync in a production workflow?
