Get notified when new entries populate your elfeed db.
** Overview
[[ ][elfeed]] is a wonderful RSS feed reader for Emacs. To my knowledge, it doesn't come with a way to get notified when new entries are available among the feeds you are following.
elfeed-notifier will automatically run /(elfeed-update)/ in the background and will populate /global-mode-string/ if new entries are available
** Options
*** elfeed-notifier-delay /elfeed-notifier-delay/ is the delay between each synchronization. The default value is every 5 minutes.
*** elfeed-notifier-query /elfeed-notifier-query/ is the elfeed QUERY that will be used to check if there are new entries to read. It defaults to /elfeed-search-filter/ value. It's most likely what most of people wants, but one could prefer to have notifications only if their favorite feeds got updated.
*** elfeed-notifier-modeline-formatter /elfeed-notifier-modeline-formatter/ is a function that takes the number of entries as input and produces the string for the modeline as an output. It defaults to /elfeed-notifier-default-mode-line-formatter/
(defun elfeed-notifier-default-mode-line-formatter (nb) "Take the number NB of entries and format the string for the modeline" (when (> nb 0) (propertize (format "[N:%s]" nb) 'face 'elfeed-notifier-modeline-face)))
*** elfeed-notifier-refresh-when-elfeed-used-p /elfeed-notifier-refresh-when-elfeed-used-p/ is a very long var name that determines if user wants elfeed-notifier to run /(elfeed-update)/ when he/she is already using elfeed. Default to /nil/
