FeedEx VS rss-proxy

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.

Using Newsblur on iOS and Flym on Android, a great open source and offline reader https://github.com/FredJul/Flym

Flym.

It will work well with RSS Proxy https://github.com/damoeb/rss-proxy which turns any website into an RSS feed.

Thank you for that. I haven't tried https://rssproxy.migor.org/ either but I'll definitely add it to my list. Other similar services I'm aware of include:

I have been using https://github.com/damoeb/rss-proxy which has been pretty good so far for the websites that I want to monitor that don't have an RSS feed.

I'm using it every day, that's what happens to it. Many sites provide their own feeds and those which don't can often be fed to something like rss-proxy [1] which will create a feed (or several feeds) based on an XPath query [2]. This can be self-hosted so you don't have to inform external entities about your feeding behaviour.

[2] e.g. here's how to get Göteborgs Posten (a Swedish newspaper which ditched its feed some time ago) in an RSS feed reader (Atom is also supported through ...&o=Atom) - note that this is an example.org domain so the link does not work as is - https://rssproxy.example.org/api/feed?url=https://gp.se&pCon...

Surprisingly I haven't immediately found software which has received more attention that rss-proxy (1300 Github stars). I've installed the program, but it fails to detect some or all desired elements on specific websites and there's no way to adjust from what I can see. Politepol fails to build on my system and to my knowledge doesn't support Javascript (on websites) when self-hosting.
