ReadYou VS Obtainium

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.

Read You (version 0.9.8): A modern and elegant RSS reader with Material You design

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.

I use Feedbro on the laptop and Readyou on the android phone. Readyou is posh.

Just FYI, there's an Android app called Obtainium that lets you add Github (and a few other) repos to it. Obtanium will then check those repos for updates and install the new APK for you. Its pretty slick for people that prefer to get their APKs direct from the dev.

While F-Droid will manage updates to anything installed through it's shop, you aren't stuck manually checking and updating things if you go decide to download APK releases directly. Obtanium is essentially a tracker/updater for managing your APKs from a broad range of sources. At the moment I'm only using it for a Bluesky client I grabbed off GitHub but I can see replacing the F-Droid shop with it once I've really settled on my app choices. Something on the list to investigate later.

A trick from another forum: there's an app named Obtainium which can monitor and update almost everything not installed from the regular store(s).

Obtainium (version 1230): Get Android App Updates Directly From the Source.

https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium Getting updates for the non Google Play Apps

"Due to their process of building apps, apps in the official F-Droid repository often fall behind on updates. F-Droid maintainers also reuse package IDs while signing apps with their own keys, which is not ideal as it gives the F-Droid team ultimate trust. Additionally, the requirements for an app to be included in the official F-Droid repo are less strict than other app stores like Google Play, meaning that F-Droid tends to host a lot more apps which are older, unmaintained, or otherwise no longer meet modern security standards."[2]

I like this app for interfacing with fdroid: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.machiav3lli.fdroid/

I also like this CLI for bulk downloading apks for initializing a new device over adb: https://github.com/mvdan/fdroidcl

To get releases faster there is obtanium: https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium

``` import os import json import subprocess import requests obtanium_url = "https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/releases/latest" app_data_dir = "/Android/data/dev.imranr.obtainium/files/app_data/" sources_file = os.path.join(app_data_dir, "sources.json")
