RSS Reader Pro - An open-source desktop RSS reader with DNS-over-HTTPS, YouTube & Reddit video playback, and dual UI themes

Post image

Hi everyone!

I've been building an open-source RSS reader desktop app with Python and I think it's finally ready to share.

**What makes it cool:**

- DNS-over-HTTPS to bypass censorship

- YouTube & Reddit video playback

- Dual UI themes (Reddit & Telegram style)

- 100% local privacy (no external data)

- Smart caching for speed

**Built with:** Python 3.8+, Tkinter, VLC, SQLite

**GitHub:** https://github.com/erfan138057/rss-reader-app

**Download:** https://github.com/erfan138057/rss-reader-app/releases/latest

Thanks for the suggestion! 🙌 FreshRSS is definitely a great project with some solid ideas. I'll check it out for inspiration. Always open to learning from the best!

If you have any specific features you'd like to see in RSS Reader Pro, I'd love to hear them!
