RSS Readers

TheBestPessimist · December 3, 2021, 11:32am

This shows my attempts to find a suitable replacement for feedly RSS reader.
Bonus if I can self-host it.

Miniflux

Pros

easy to setup
uses j and k for navigation

Cons

the looks are pretty bad
must press o to “read my feed”, otherwise it only shows a list
does not load attachments automatically
Before click:

After click:

kinda difficult to organize feeds into categories
using k to navigate back does not take me to the previous read article, but instead to the “previous undread”. WTFFFFF

Raven Reader

Not self hosted.
It is an app which I install on my laptop => cannot read from phone.

Template

Pros

Cons

this looks pretty interesting and seems to work

they say it’s not self-hoster friendly, however someone made it work in docker. unfortunately, it needs at least 2GB of memory which is a FUCKING LOT for a simple RSS reader.

Is it worth testing? idk

thank you for your interest in the project. unfortunately, i cannot accept any m…ore new features. the project was created due to lack of the application that i wanted, and it's already serving my own needs. i'd like to keep it simple. yarr is not being deprecated. it's my go-to feed reader, and i'll gladly fix bugs & accept patches to improve the existing functionality. my only requests for contributors would be: - to not introduce any 3rd party dependencies - to cover new code with unit tests whenever possible if you'd like to introduce new features, please do so by forking it. i won't guarantee that it'd be merged to the upstream though.
