Building from Source

git clone https://github.com/hahahotsoup/sipintui.git
cd sipintui
dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained false \
  -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true -p:DebugSymbols=false -o publish/win-x64
./publish/win-x64/sip.exe          # enter TUI (Windows)
./publish/win-x64/sip.exe --help   # or use the CLI directly

Language files are embedded: official translations like zh-CN.json / en-US.json are baked into the exe — even if you copy only a single exe out of the whole publish directory, it auto-restores the default language on first launch (or whenever the data directory is missing), and the UI is still in Chinese. The external languages/ folder in the publish directory is for user-customized translations (edits take effect immediately; the embedded copies never overwrite your changes).

Replace -r win-x64 with your target platform. Common RIDs:

Platform	RID
Windows x64 / ARM64	win-x64 / win-arm64
Linux x64 / ARM64	linux-x64 / linux-arm64
macOS Intel / Apple Silicon	osx-x64 / osx-arm64

No-runtime-required build (self-contained): if you want to distribute a "copy and run" build that doesn't require the recipient to install the .NET runtime, change --self-contained false to --self-contained true and publish again (a few dozen MB in size, more self-contained).

Publish all platforms at once: run powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File publish.ps1, which produces a single-file executable for Windows x64 / Linux x64 / macOS Intel / macOS Apple Silicon into publish/<platform>/.

Tech Stack

• C# / .NET 10.0
• Microsoft.Data.Sqlite
• CodeHollow.FeedReader (RSS/Atom parsing)
• DiffPlex (text diff)
• Terminal.Gui (folder-view TUI)
• HtmlAgilityPack (article HTML → plain text / full-text extraction)
• ktsu.CredentialCache (native OS credential store for API keys)
• Embedding / LLM: OpenAI-compatible interfaces (local Ollama, DeepSeek, OpenAI, etc.)
