Dependencies

Python3: newspaper3k, pdfkit, bs4

Installation

Copy rmn.py and sites.txt to somewhere you want, but keep them in the same folder. Then modify the sites.txt to get your favorite news, here’s an example:

1	2	3	4	5
`zh`	`知乎日报`	`https://daily.zhihu.com`	`class`	`DailyHeader-title`
`zh`	`cnBeta`	`https://cnbeta.com`
`zh`	`果壳`	`https://guokr.com`

Each line is an entry for a specific site and infos are seperated by tabulations, in the order:

language (see https://newspaper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/quickstart.html bottom of page)
site name
site url
keyword argument for BeautifulSoup
content of the keyword argument

4 and 5 are optional and for some special sites, the real title of whose articles are not embedded in the “title” tag but somewhere else. In case you need them, check https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/ (you might need to look into the source code of the site as well)

And…?

Just run it with python3 rmn.py or perhaps as some suggested, set it up as a system daemon.
