═══════════════

  The feeds are saved in `$XDG_DATA_HOME/pyxis', if it's not defined
  then `$HOME/.local/share/pyxis' is used. Feeds are configured in
  `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pyxis.pl' or `$HOME/.config/pyxis.pl'.


2.1 Commands
────────────

2.1.1 fetch
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  fetch will fetch all the latest feeds from config file. You can use
  Pyxis without this feature by fetching the files yourself manually to
  data directory.


2.1.2 timeline
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  timeline will print your timeline from all the feeds. You can also
  pass an optional argument to load custom feeds.

  For example, you can pass multiple feeds like `pyxis timeline f1 f2',
  it'll load both `f1' & `f2'. If you pass an invalid feed then it
  prints a warning & goes to the next one.


2.2 Examples
────────────

  ┌────
  │ pyxis fetch # fetch all feeds
  │
  │ # dispay emacs & perl feeds (if available)
  │ pyxis timeline emacs perl
  │
  │ pyxis timeline # display all feeds
  └────


2.3 Configuration
─────────────────

  There is an example config file under `share/config.pl', move it to
  config directory & rename to `pyxis.pl'.

  ┌────
  │ cp share/config.pl $HOME/.config/pyxis.pl
  └────

  *Warning*: Pyxis will evaluate the configuration file, which means an
  attacker can use it to run malicious code.

  *Note*: They could always add malicious code to `.profile' & do harm.
  Just thought I should put the warning.

  ┌────
  │ #!/usr/bin/perl
  │
  │ use strict;
  │ use warnings;
  │
  │ my %feeds = (
  │     andinus => "https://andinus.nand.sh/twtxt",
  │ );
  │
  │ sub get_feeds { return %feeds; }
  │
  │ 1;
  └────

  Add your feeds to `%feeds' hash like shown above. You can remove those
  2 `use' lines but it's good if you keep them.
