A desklet that displays live headlines from multiple RSS feeds simultaneously (Google News, BBC World, Linux Mint Blog). Features per-source error handling, clickable headlines, configurable story count, refresh interval, and resizable width.

./validate-spice in the repo says to remove icon field in metadata.json.

This requires Soup3.0 which replaced Soup2.4 in cinnamon 6.0 so it won't work on earlier versions. I'd suggest this folder structure so that users will be notified of incompatibility when trying to install on earlier cinnamon versions:

Other than that, everything looks good.
