Argparse to deal with things like -v/--verbose flag would be very useful

[julianorchard]

At the moment, this script doesn't have much support to tell the user what's going on, aside from random print("") comments.

It would be good to have args like -v that can be passed to explain what's going on if running it normally from the shell.

Could also be run without a configuration file in this way:

python3 rss-ntfy/rss-ntfy.py --ntfy "https://ntfy.sh/" --service "nitter" --feed "https://uk.unofficialbird.com/{username}/rss" --descriptor "🐦 Tweet"

This would require quite a few additions to the script to get it to work, including better handling of incomplete entries, etc. Minimum required for an entry would be:

• Name (the topic for the ntfy instance to use)
• Feed (would definitely be required to do the scraping)

Then the following could be autopopulated along these lines:

• Descriptor (could just default to "☁ Notification from" if no descriptor input found)
• Instance (could default to ntfy.sh, but if this is the path to go down, I think it's a good idea to add some randomness to the feed name, so that there's not a problem with the name being so common that multiple people end up using it)
• Verbose (off by default, not even a feature, currently)

This might be worth breaking up into a few seperate issues, depending on how quickly I'm able to solve these problems. It's more of a project really, but I want to quickly document my thought process.
