RSS Is Wonderful

40 Hadiths

I used Flym for a while and went to download the source one day, in fear of it suddenly disappearing, and apparently updates are blocked by Google, and the dev gave up? I'm very curious to know more about it: https://github.com/FredJul/Flym Since then I've used Feeder, it's similar but is missing a few things that I liked about Feeder. It was easy to export my list of feeds (OMPL file, I think) and import into Feeder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nononsenseapps.feeder.play.

Newsboat

"Newsboat", a command line RSS reader, definitely has keyword searches and a ton of other functionality for complex filtering and grouping: https://newsboat.org/ I haven't found a good Android based RSS reader that does that, though I haven't really looked.

Hacker News Search

Because the goal of the site is things of intellectual curiosity and repetitive things are not that. Repeated stories are usually duped off the front page and meta about votes is far, far more repetitive than the occasional story dupe or story that's not interesting to some person or another. It would absolutely eat the place alive. If you're interested, though, there is years upon years of moderator and user commentary on this: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=author%3Adang%20downvotes&sort=byDate&type=comment.

Tiny Tiny RSS

Clients like Feeder[1] and self-hosted services like Tiny Tiny RSS[2] (through its Readability plugin) can extract the full text from the source URL. [1] https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/ [2] https://tt-rss.org.

Medium

It is a little ironic that the first link in DDG is a medium article but oh well. https://medium.com/@everywheretrip/an-introduction-to-podcasting-2-0-3c4f61ea17f4 This is, indeed, fascinating. It's cool that they have a micro-payment idea with Bitcoin lighting network.

The Old Reader

I prefer to use webpages as much as possible. I liked google Reader, and once they killed I migrated to https://theoldreader.com/.

Fraidycat

There are multiple projects that "RSS-ify" websites with no RSS feeds. rss-bridge (https://github.com/rss-bridge/rss-bridge) is one of them. I personnally use fraidycat (https://fraidyc.at/), a slightly different "news" reader. Contrary to all other readers it doesn't give you an infinite flow of all posts, but rather a reverse chronological list of who has updates. It's the same paradigm as most IM apps, but instead of people it's sources and instead of messages it's posts. Fraidycat can parse a lot of sources and all the ones I care about (including youtube channels, twitch channels, facebook public pages) are properly handled.

Miniflux

> In practice, getting fulltext is rare, and clients for RSS are either POC skeletons of functionality, or they're bloated and include a bunch of shit I'll never use. You just need the right tools. Miniflux[1], which I will never get tired of recommending at every occasion, has a scraper built-in, so you just need to enter one or two css selectors and it fetches the text for you, ready to be consumed in its excellent, HN-inspired web interface or in your client of choice. If you can't be bothered to self-host there is a hosted option which is only 15$/year. Miniflux is the reason I'm a heavy RSS user today (I follow just over 300 feeds at the moment) after years of being intrigued by the possibilities of the standard but ultimately unable to stick to it due to wrong/inadequate tooling. Miniflux was my turning point. [1]: https://miniflux.app.

Odysee

The context behind why and how the site was created should be in Luke Smith's videos which are linked at the bottom of the page, in case anyone missed it: > About this site > Founded to provide a simple online cookbook without ads and obese web design. See the story of this site unfold in three videos: > https://odysee.com/@Luke:7/a-demonstration-of-modern-web-bloat:f > https://odysee.com/@Luke:7/the-war-against-web-bloat-continues...:a > https://odysee.com/@Luke:7/soydevs-destroyed-epic-style-by-based:6 I'm not sure I agree with Luke on everything, or even that his tone is always conductive to productive discussion, but there is definitely a lot of merit in creating small and fast websites without any unnecessary bloat nowadays. The "Website Obesity Crisis" presentation also has stuck with me ever since I ran into it: https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm.

Cookpad

Few pictures = no go for me. I want to see what the dish is supposed to look like before I start https://cookpad.com is a pretty good site for recipes. Unfortunately it's mostly only popular in Japan. IIRC, they want you to pay if you want to be able to sort results by rating.
