Raggle (www.raggle.org) runs curses, drb or webrick interfaces to your
feeds, and is a pure ruby implemenentation - I found it as featureful as
netnewswire/straw/liferea et al (which are all basically the same interface)
but more versatile - little things like the curses interface is screen(1)
aware, so will pop up elinks/w3m/whatever in a new window. It also supports
opml or yaml feedlists, I managed to import my liferea feeds into it fine.

It's got a couple of rough edges, but the code is fairly legible, I'd certainly
recommend it.
