// fern is a simple media feed downloader.
//
// It depends on yt-dlp to download the media found in the media feeds
// to your computer.
//
// fern currently supports YoutTube and NPR feeds.
//
// Information about what media feeds to download, the location of
// yt-dlp program on your computer, and the directory where the media
// should be downloaded to must be specified in a config file which
// fern expects to be at $HOME/.config/fern/fern.json
//
// fern's config file contains three fields:
//
//     {
//        "ydl-path": "/usr/local/bin/yt-dlp",
//        "dump-dir": "~/media/feeds", // media feed download directory
//        "feeds": [...] // list of media feeds.
//     }
//
// Each item in the media "feeds" must be:
//
//     {
//        "id": "media-feed-id", // unique identifier for the media feed
//        "source": "https://feeds.npr.org/XXXX/rss.xml", // media feed url
//        "schema": "npr", // must be "youtube" or "npr"
//        "last": 5 // The last N items that should be downloaded
//     }
//
// You may download an example config file for fern from
// https://ricketyspace.net/fern/fern.json
//
// fern does not take any arguments, to run it just do:
//
//    $ fern
//
