  • Stop Using Social Media Apps. The Web Version Is Often Better
    I use https://freshrss.org/ which is a web-based system you host yourself. The Readrops Android app is good too, and it can connect to FreshRSS so all state (subscribed feeds, read status, etc) is synced to the web version. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • An app that checks Reddit, FB Marketplace, Ebay etc for new posts and outputs it to somewhere.
    I have something like this set up with RSS Bridge (https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge) creating private RSS feeds for what I'd like to follow. I then subscribe to those feeds in Fresh RSS (https://freshrss.org/). - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

  • My slow progression towards and away from NextCloud
    NC News did have some issues at some point, feeds just wouldn't refresh. And for a rss aggregator, the slugging UI was particularly annoying. I quickly found FreshRSS, which does the same thing but is way faster / more responsive, and it has a nicer UI and some more useful options for customisation as well. Due to FreshRSS (which I would have never tried without NC News) I was able to break my "click 10 news links... - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

  • Resources for React developers in 2022
    Blogs are the OG way of learning from others (at least for me). Some of the downsides of blogs are irregular updates and discovering new content. I love using an RSS reader but the discovery is a constant struggle. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
  • Looking for a selfhosted news dashboard application
    Probably FreshRSS or TT-RSS. I ended up going with Miniflux because I'm mostly connecting to it via RSS reader apps (FeedMe on Android, and Fluent Reader on Linux) rather than reading via the web UI. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • I made Genshin-feed.com, a website that generate RSS feeds with official news and announcements
    The next day, I updated the script, created a website, bought one more domain (I own so much domains...) and a little bit of web hosting space. I automated the generation of the feeds with GitHub Actions and voila. At this time, I was able to take a feed from my creation and have all official news about Genshin Impact right into my FreshRSS server and my RSS readers (Readably on Android, Reeder on iOS/iPadOS and... - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • Open links outside of current container
    At the moment I'm using FreshRSS - it's lighter and more responsive than Tiny-Tiny RSS, which I used for 3-4 years. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • Would a Social Media Cloud Be Possible?
    Get started today with FreshRSS, a free and open source implementation: https://freshrss.org/. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • Looking for devs.
    Why does everyone keep reinventing the RSS feed? I've seen dozens of people working on this exact project, but never figured out what the benefits are over already built, tested, and deployed solutions like FreshRSS. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago
  • Any open source news app?
    Lots of open source RSS readers. I have a selfhosted RSS reader -- FreshRSS -- that I connect to with an open source reader, NetNewsWire. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago
  • Best RSS feed reader for privacy that supports syncing between devices?
    Https://freshrss.org is self hosted and has a webui that works across anything. It also supports Google Readers API spec so any compatible app should hook into it. - Source: Reddit / about 2 years ago
