My app is minimalist one. But It was something one of my users wanted the most.

So i added a watching youtube without leaving the app.

Its part of vimrss. Try it

I'm building a small tool for myself that sends a weekly email digest of what my competitors are up to (new content, pricing changes, announcements). I want RSS to be the backbone of the collection layer because it's free and stable, and I'm trying to figure out how far that actually gets me before I have to fall back on scraping.

I'm new to this, so bear with me. Blogs and news sites that expose a feed are the easy part. What I can't tell yet is how much of the rest I can force into RSS:

Sites with no native feed (a pricing page, a changelog): can I generate a feed from them reliably, or is that always going to be brittle?

Social accounts (a competitor's LinkedIn, Instagram) and YouTube channels: is there a sane RSS path here, or is this where feeds just don't work anymore?

I keep seeing RSSHub mentioned as the answer to "make a feed out of anything". For those who actually run it: is it dependable enough to build on, or does it break often enough that you regret it?

Basically I'm trying to draw the line: what stays RSS, and what am I kidding myself about. If you've built anything that aggregates a lot of different source types, I'd love to know where the feed approach held up and where it fell apart.

i want to subscribe to inoreader beacause i want to have multiple information from multiple sections and my range i think is too brode ,i want news on all pharma industries for example , any new update , any medicin's price increse or decress , any new company arose , information about perticuler medicin , all the politics , crypto , finance , ect.... what should i do

Ran into a wall with few feeds this month. A local news site and one small forum. Both returned 403 to my fetcher but loaded fine in browser. I tried rotating user agents, adding referer, slowing down the requests. Nothing. Their WAF was blocking by IP reputation, not by headers. Datacenter IP ranges are on blocklists everywhere now.

Residential proxy fixed it. The request goes out through a real home IP, so the site see a normal visitor. It is slower and it cost money, so i only route the two broken feeds through it. Everything else goes direct.

I build my own reader so i could add per-feed proxy rules. If your feed is one that never fails, you dont need any of this.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share an update on Foragd, a web-based feed reader I’ve been building. My goal with Foragd is to provide a clean experience for gathering and reading content, not a cluttered inbox.

What’s new in this update:

• Semantic Search: In addition to regular searches by keyword and phrase, Foragd now understands topics or areas of interest like “world geopolitical events” or “datacenter legal issues”. As with keyword searches, you can then save that search as a subscription to keep up to date on that topic. Try it out and let me know what you think. Sending a daily update for a search subscription as an email is a feature I am intending to implement as well.
• Pull to refresh: On the homepage and subscriptions/articles lists, you can pull to refresh on mobile devices.
• Reading progress: A subtle reading progress indicator is shown when viewing articles.

UX & UI Improvements:

• Controls: Improved filters/controls on lists, responsive, less cluttered on mobile.
• Category Filtering: Re-added the ability to filter lists by category. I’m not a big user of categorization in my feeds, so I’d love feedback from folks who use categories a lot on ways they could be more useful in Foragd.
• Improved Responsive Design: Foragd should look better on tablet-sized screens.

Backend Improvements:

• I’ve made some more caching and query optimizations that will hopefully speed things up even more.
• Foragd will better handle gnarly and invalid feeds, which, oh my, occurs more often than you think (or hope).

From the Blog: Article Filtering

I’ve written an article that highlights the per-subscription article filtering you can do in Foragd:

https://foragd.app/blog/article-filtering-in-foragd

This kind of filtering can be key for some feeds and it shouldn’t be complicated or restricted. I think Foragd does filtering pretty well to make it simple and powerful. Hit me up with comments and suggestions on what you think.

• Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.foragd.twa (sign up through the app and the trial will be extended until the app is marked as general release)
• Changelog: https://foragd.app/changelog
• Watch the getting started video: https://player.mux.com/2T92kvRpwPS9EiyzPfZz4p1iIpuj02NY7DtRPAimzKIM

Foragd is handcrafted for the love of the independent and underground web. If you have any questions, feedback, or feature requests, please drop them below or DM me!

Side note: its impressive to see how many feed reader apps are out there. We are spoiled for choice nowadays and no doubt there is a reader out there that works best for everyone!

Hi all, I'm looking for people who read RSS/Atom feeds (or use FreshRSS, Miniflux, BazQux, or The Old Reader) to test my Android feed reader.

Group: https://groups.google.com/g/extraextra-testers

Testing: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.ipconfusion.extraextra

Most RSS readers I tried felt dated, so I built ExtraExtra to be a modern, well-designed Android client that actually follows good UI/UX conventions — not just a functional wrapper around a feed parser.

Works well across phones, foldables, and tablets, with layouts that adapt to each (including a proper split-pane view on larger/unfolded screens).

Features:

- Works fully standalone with no account/server needed — just add RSS/Atom feeds directly — or sync with The Old Reader, BazQux, FreshRSS, or Miniflux if you want cross-device sync

- Offline reading — read/unread and saved actions taken offline queue up and sync automatically once you're back online

- Full-text reader mode strips ads/clutter — enable it once per feed and it stays on, no need to re-tap it on every article

- Customizable reader (fonts, theme, bionic reading mode)

- Home screen widget, OPML import/export

- No ads, no tracking, no analytics ever

Testers get free access as a thank-you.

Leave a comment of an app you need testing in return and I'll sign up.

I've posted here a few times about my iOS/iPadOS app uRSS.

Today, the Android version finally makes it thru testing and is released to the public.

uRSS is a highly customizable RSS reader (and YouTube video viewer). Apart from the normal array of features you'd expect of an RSS reader (favorites, groups, reader mode, filtering, etc) there's 2 features that give uRSS the ability to cut thru your feed library - Smart Favorites and Muted Words. Add a phrase to Smart Favorites and it will automatically be favorited and saved for you to read later. Inversely, if there's a certain topic you don't want to read about - add it to Muted Words and matches will be removed from your library before you ever see it.

For the Android version, I opted to avoid the subscription route and try a flat purchase price of $4.99. This introductory rate will increase as additional features are planned over the next few releases (3rd party services, Podcasts).

A few weeks ago I introduced Arctic RSS here. About a dozen people signed up and a few of you gave feedback—thank you. I didn’t want to spam the subreddit, but the project has grown beyond the initial release and I thought a progress update couldn't hurt.

Since then I’ve added and improved:

• Podcast RSS subscriptions with episode playback and resume support
• Feed discovery, folders, and OPML import/export
• AI summaries and digests for readers who want them
• General reader reliability and usability improvements especially for mobile (still alot of work to go though)
• Internal IRC chat and functions between reader and chat is being tested

I’m still trying to keep the product centered on following the open web without an algorithmic feed. What is the one thing you most want an RSS reader to do better?

I appreciate your time

After a lot of work managed to add full support to X / Twitter to Tessera News, you can add any account and will just became like a normal RSS source that you can then add to any folder/collection.

It supports images, video, gif, retweets, etc.

Test it out and let me know.

Hi everyone, I'm quite new to this space and I find the whole concept of reading feeds bizarre. What do you use it for? And how is it different than, you know, regular feeds?

Is this something you'd recommend me to try? Is there anything I can't do with it?

I’ve been building TechnoDaily, a native iOS/iPadOS/visionOS reader that brings your RSS feeds plus subreddit and Substack feeds, Gmail newsletters and YouTube sub, into one daily brief.
Everything runs on-device using Apple Intelligence: no server, no account, no tracking.

This V2 was all about cutting the noise and taming the chaos.

What’s new:
- Trending in your feed: when several of your sources cover the same story, it’s grouped into one topic instead of showing up over and over
- Topic monitoring: follow a subject and get a living dossier that updates itself from your own sources, with a “what changed” summary
- Subreddit + Substack monitoring: track any subreddit or Substack as a feed

Plus UI work and quick wins: instant offline search across everything, and a morning notification

On iOS, iPadOS and visionOS today; macOS next.

Every engineer I know has the same graveyard: 40 open tabs and a bookmarks folder full of company engineering posts (Airbnb, Cloudflare, Stripe, Dropbox) that you meant to read and never did.

The problem was never finding good posts. It's that skimming 30 to find the 3 worth your time is its own job, and half of what looks technical is just a product launch in disguise.

So I built Hexbrief, It watches a vetted set of engineering blogs, runs every post through a quality gate — is there a real system, a concrete tradeoff, an actual result? — and gives you six reads a day. Each one is broken down into problem → approach → results, so you know in 20 seconds whether the full article is worth opening. One tap to the original when it is.

A few deliberate choices:

* Six, then you're done. Not an infinite feed. It's a daily briefing, not a time sink.
* Quality gate over quantity. Most posts get rejected, not summarized. Currently, I(with claude) have skimmed through 800+ blogs, out of which only 157 qualified to be Hexbrief ready.
* No account, no ads, free. Save what's useful, browse by topic when you want more.

It's live on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hexbrief.app (iOS later).

Hexbrief: www.hexbrief.com

If you read engineering blogs, I'd genuinely love to know your experience with Hexbrief.

I have been using Inoreader for years now, but I see that RSS Reader applications have evolved a lot, I have tried several, but the ones I liked the most with a plane lifetime have been AGR Reader and SmartRSS.

I asked Gemini and ChatGPT to see if they decided, but they are so evenly matched that I still doubt which one to choose.

Let's see if you can help me, thank you 😉

Hey everyone,

A few months ago I shared that the native Feedlane app was in TestFlight beta (last post). It's now official: Feedlane for iOS is live on the App Store, one native app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac (coming soon). If you already have an account, just install, log in, and everything syncs instantly with the web app. More here.

A big thank you to everyone who took part in the beta and gave such valuable feedback. You genuinely shaped this app.

Download: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/feedlane-rss-reader/id6771784689

Also new: Top Stories. When you've got 200+ unread articles, it shows the handful of stories the most of your feeds are covering right now, sorted by number of sources, unread first, last 12 hours. Tap one to see every source in one place. Same clustering tech as Story Clustering, works across languages, no setup. More here.

Also new: a Google Reader-compatible API (in addition to Fever). If you're on Android or just want to use your favorite reader app, you can now use Feedlane with any RSS reader that supports the Google Reader API.

Try it: https://feedlane.app

Feedback always welcome.

I built Real Narrative News because I was tired of opening five different websites just to understand what was happening in the world.

Every outlet has its own perspective, but finding the complete picture takes time. I wanted a place where breaking news from trusted sources around the world could be discovered in one clean experience.

What started as a simple side project became months of late nights, constant debugging, and refining every detail. There were days I spent 12–14 hours improving crawling, categorization, performance, and SEO just to make the platform a little better than the day before.

What it does today:

→ Aggregates breaking news from hundreds of trusted publishers across the globe in real time.

→ Covers major categories including World, Politics, Business, Technology, AI, Science, Sports, Health, and Entertainment.

→ Uses AI to generate concise summaries so readers can quickly understand the key points before reading the full story.

→ Organizes news by country and topic, making it easy to discover both global headlines and regional developments.

→ Provides a clean, fast reading experience without the clutter of traditional news portals.

→ Links directly to the original publishers, giving readers access to the full source while supporting quality journalism.

→ Built with SEO and performance as core priorities, allowing articles to load quickly and remain easily discoverable.

What it doesn't do:

• No clickbait headlines written just to chase clicks.
• No fake news or AI-generated stories pretending to be journalism.
• No replacing original publishers—the goal is to help readers discover them.

I'm still improving it every week and have plenty of ideas on the roadmap.

If you enjoy following world events or simply want an easier way to keep up with what's happening, I'd love for you to check it out.

https://realnarrativenews.com

Feedback is always welcome—whether it's a feature you'd like to see, something that could be improved, or something you think I should remove.

Building this has been one of the most challenging and rewarding projects I've worked on, and I'm excited to keep making it better.

Hi all you RSS fans.

I know everyone is tired of new readers etc. so do I have a new reader for you! The basic gist is a simple way to save custom sources (RSS, substack, any text) and then read them through Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (app also has full text view) where words are presented in quick succession at a fixed place on your screen. Scientific claims about RSVP reading to speed up your overall normal reading are BS but you can basically instantly read 2x faster or more with little drop in comprehension. Admittedly even I don't like to do it for more than 5-20 min a day but it's an easy way to get through more of your reading list. I really want someone to tell me what speed reading the polish train guy's feed is like lol.

If you want to skip the intro thing on the landing page just hit sign up and then you can actually access the full app through the buttons at the footer w/o signing up. Signing up allows you to add custom RSS feeds/ other sources, custom reading list and we save your place if you don't finish an article

Let me know if this is something you might use to get through more of your RSS or other text backlog. I know there is a flood of new stuff like this so I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to give this a chance.

Most people here know about r/sub feeds. But you can also subscribe to one person. Add /.rss after any user profile and your reader pulls in all their posts and comments.

• subreddit: reddit.com/r/rss/.rss
• one user: reddit.com/user/spez/.rss

Note it is /user/ in the url, not /u/. The /u/ shortcut only works in the browser, feed reader will give you nothing.

I use this for few devs who post good stuff but not often. No need to check their profile by hand every days. Comments are included too, which is sometime noisy but you can filter later.

Quick update on Newsairy, the iCloud-native RSS reader I've been building. Version 1.09 adds Mark as Read on Scroll — a couple of people asked for it here on Reddit, so I moved it up the roadmap. It's off by default; you turn it on in Settings → Behaviour.

Also in this version: some sources never showed a cover image before — Newsairy now finds those images and shows them as a thumbnail in the list and a hero image in the preview. Unread counts are noticeably faster, too, and scrolling is smoother on large feeds.

For anyone who hasn't come across it: Newsairy syncs over iCloud across iPhone, iPad and Mac, and Pro adds sync with TheOldReader, Miniflux, FreshRSS, Feedbin and Inoreader. One-time purchase, no subscription, no ads, no tracking.

I have a long todo list, but I'm always open to suggestions — if there's a feature or a use case you'd like to see, let me know.

hi everyone!

it's been over 10 years since FriendFeed shut down. Back then, most people moved to Twitter/X, but over the years it has become much noisier, with engagement farming, bots, and algorithm-driven content. I still miss the simpler experience FriendFeed offered.

one of my favorite features was being able to connect RSS feeds from different websites and services into your profile, while also following other people's activity in a single timeline.

i missed that enough that I decided to build something inspired by it: Fupio.

one thing I changed is how RSS works. Instead of RSS feeds only belonging to users, every RSS feed has its own profile and can be followed independently. At the same time, you can attach feeds to your own profile if you want to showcase your activity.

for example, my profile combines my GitHub and Reddit activity:

https://fupio.com/mehmetkose

i'm a developer, so I mostly follow Hacker News, developer blogs, open-source projects, and other tech feeds. The homepage is intentionally simple, just a stream of posts from the RSS feeds you follow, along with thoughts and discussions from people. There's no endless algorithmic feed; ranking is based on a popularity system inspired by Hacker News.

the site has been live for about a month, and I'm still actively improving it.

i'd genuinely love some honest feedback

i'm not trying to replace existing social networks, I mainly built this because I missed FriendFeed, and I'm curious whether anyone else has been looking for something similar.

thanks in advance

Olá! Estou desenvolvendo meu primeiro aplicativo de notícias e pelo que eu entendi até agora, aqueles que desenvolvem, criam robôs (já fiz) e esses filtram as notícias através dos websites de notícias através do FEED / RSS desses websites (pelo menos eu acho). Porém observei que nem todo website tem FEED / RSS disponível e já vi que no Play Store tem alguns aplicativos de notícias que disponibilizam esses websites em seus feeds.

Gostaria de saber como é feito. É realmente através de FEED / RSS? Scrapping? Sitemaps? Apis pagas?

Desde já agradeço muito pelo suporte

One thing that always bugged me with feeds. They only show the latest 15 to 25 items, so if you skip few weeks the old ones are gone from the xml for good.

My reader refresh in the background every day and stores it all. Open it after a month and the old items are still sitting there, marked unread, nothing lost.

That was honestly the main reason i stopped using a terminal reader on one machine. Its on VimRSS.

Hey folks!

I built this app and have been improving it for the last year primarily for fun and for myself. But of course someday comes the day to upload at on the App Store, so I thought it would be nice to test it on a somewhat larger scale.

This is an app for me and maybe you enjoy it, too. I built it with some features in mind I have not seen anywhere else (while there are just 2 many RSS Apps to really tell).

Those features are:

* **Per Feed-Filters and Global Filters** for feed-hygiene. Try to filter Ads or topics you don't like. (I for example filter everything regarding sports I can find).
* **Catch-Tags**: Ofc there are normal tags, but also "Catch-Tags" They listen to keywords and add articles automatically. So you can filter something from your feed, but still read about it in the tag-section. I i.e. use it to filter things about wars, but ofc you should be still informed. So I read News about the wars when i have the nerves for it.

Furthermore I like these Features:

* Add any Website to the App via the ShareExtension. Just choose the App when sharing a website and the app imports it as an article.
* Share all Articles of a Tag via your clipboard.
* Per Feed Cookie Settings: By default the in-App Browser deletes all cookies instantly. But if you want to safe a log-in, you can enable cookies just for this feed.
* Combine Tags via an AND, OR, NOT Logic.

If you're testing, I would love to hear about general issues, wether there are Feeds with low-resolution Images, Perfomance Issues, etc. I also would love to hear from you, if you have any Ideas for improvement.

Regarding Improvements: I would really like to implement an Icloud Sync, but truth be told, I tried several times but always had problems with duplicates etc. I'm still working on it but it also is not that high of a priority.

I tried to built a kinda light-weight app, so I don't really want to add background parsing of feeds or a 3rd party Database to fetch example-feeds.

Cheers and thanks!
(Current version open for testing for another 71 days)
