bubo-rss VS news_flash_gtk

I do love me some RSS. I started using RSS seriously 2 years ago, and last year, I forked Bubo RSS[1] to have my own RSS reader[2]. It's just a static site that is built every hour using Github Actions (although you can easily turn this into a cron job on your Raspberry Pi or whatever).

I liked the result so much, I ended up doing something similar using RSS feeds to a build page with all my of Youtube subscriptions[3].

I use https://kevinfiol.com/reader/

It's a personal fork of Bubo Reader by George Mandis. It's essentially just a Node.js script that fetches the latest stories from some RSS feeds I have stored in JSON, and then deploys a static site to Github Pages as a single HTML file. I use Github Actions to have it automatically run every 2 hours.

NewsFlash is also pretty nice outside the browser.

Newsflash is pretty good, https://gitlab.com/news-flash/news_flash_gtk

Simplest desktop app is probably NewsFlash. It supports both fetching the feeds locally and using various web services. It does not seem to have a Windows binaries available, though.

https://gitlab.com/news-flash/news_flash_gtk - program designed to complement an already existing web-based RSS reader account. It combines all the advantages of web based services like syncing across all your devices with everything you expect.

NewsFlash : This is a great RSS reader for Linux. I like to use it for YouTube, since you can create RSS feeds for channels and have them show up in the app. This is handy if you want to delete your YouTube/ Google account but still want an easy way to keep up with your favourite channels. I can post a guide too if anyone wants more info on how to do this btw.
