This is neat!! Well done, I'll definitely try it :D

Though I think the enthusiasm made you forget to link the project :D

I have a question: how do you fetch the data since the API is not public yet? RSS? Scraping?

Great side benefit to this -- you can look like you're to non-programmers working when you're really just reading dev.to :)

This is awesome ❤️

Maybe add the repo url and/or installation instructions 😉
Does it work on all platforms? macOS, Linux, Windows

Not sure if it already does this, but maybe add a login option (API key) so it can get your personalised feed (tags/people you follow, + tag weight is different for everyone).

API for devto is not yet available. So for that we may have to wait.
