FeedEx VS newsboat

The best RSS reader will depend on the platform you are using, for example on macOS and iOS there's NetNewsWire, on GNOME there's Feeds, on Windows (albeit it's also available on other platforms) there's Fluent Reader, on Nextcloud there's Nextcloud News, on Android there used to be Flym, but recent Play Store rule changes led to its archival with Handy News Reader being the most active fork.

I used Flym for a while and went to download the source one day, in fear of it suddenly disappearing, and apparently updates are blocked by Google, and the dev gave up? I'm very curious to know more about it: https://github.com/FredJul/Flym

Since then I've used Feeder, it's similar but is missing a few things that I liked about Feeder. It was easy to export my list of feeds (OMPL file, I think) and import into Feeder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nononsense...

I am not a developer, but was trying to make some aesthetic adjustments of this app called Flym (basically an open source RSS reader.

Flym.

If you're using https://newsboat.org, you can add a filter (killfile) to remedy this:

  ignore-article "*" "title =~ \"#shorts\""

I use newsboat.

I'm happy with newsboat[1]; but I'm not surprised that people have integrated scraping into RSS readers.

Fundamentally, that's not a problem with RSS, that's a war between scrapers and content providers. If the email newsletter model persists long enough, I'd expect that people will come out with "newsletter readers" that scrape websites too.

I'm not sure there's a good long-term solution to the problem. Aside from constant vigilance (obfuscation).

So, I installed a terminal RSS reader called Newsboat and added the feed to it. I have it always running in a terminal, and the scores refresh every minute. I can open the Cricinfo link in a browser by selecting a match and typing o.

Not at the moment. There is an open Github issue asking for that feature, however, no idea if/when that will be implemented: https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/issues/904

Here's part of my newsboat config (works great for subscriptions):
