FeedMe VS ReadYou

Although I've been an Inoreader user over the last few years, this year I switched to Miniflux. I felt like features/cost ratio for Inoreader finally tipped away from what I was interested in paying. Migrating to Miniflux was genuinely very easy-- spin up the docker compose, export OPML from Inoreader, import OPML to Miniflux. I use tsdproxy and tailscale funnels to get access to the web endpoint.

While I started out just using the webapp, I quickly discovered that there large number of Miniflux compatible applications. I eventually settled on:

- Read You on my Android Phone and Tablet https://github.com/ReadYouApp/ReadYou

- Reactflux (web) on my windows laptop https://github.com/electh/ReactFlux

- RSSGuard on my linux desktop https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard

- Reeder classic on iPad (I already owned this, might as well keep using it)

- PoweReader on my work iPhone https://powereader.app/

One neat thing about Miniflux is that it supports a number of APIs, including Fever and Google Reader. As long as your frontend works with one of these, you get a seamless experience. This level of choice is actually something I'm really enjoying-- I get a very native experience on whatever platform I use, as opposed to using the Inoreader app/website on each platform.

With the introduction of my blogroll, my morning routine has changed without me having planned it. By displaying the latest blogger posts there by fetsching them while the site is build once a day, I start reading there instead of in my standard feed reader feedly. I no longer subscribe to the 40 blogs currently on my list, but use Read You as a blogroll reader in case I miss something.

This is the app i am using now.https://github.com/Ashinch/ReadYou If there is any aspect of this app that I am not very satisfied with, it would be the article translation function and the lack of push notifications. Wish my comments can help you.🫡

You can use Read You if you want complete freedom, as long as you're willing to curate RSS subscriptions. Otherwise, Pocket by Firefox browser or Brave news in the Brave browser fit your description, but they do include ads

I'm running FreshRSS behind Caddy and Cloudflare Tunnels without any issues. For reading I use ReadYou connected through the Fever API

If anyone doesn't have a RSS Feed, look for Read You. You might like it.

It's a bit of a rabbit hole as there are so many, and none are perfect for my use case. Read You is about as close as I can get, but even that has its flaws.
