FeedHQ VS NewsBlur

I used to do this but recently switched to using environment variables and now prefer this approach. Essentially you keep the single settings.py file that is generated with startproject, and use os.environ or os.getenv to set certain settings. Check out the FeedHQ settings.py for an example. I use direnv to automatically set my environment variables on my local machine, but django-environ is a popular alternative.

I use Newsblur, it’s open source and you can self host, but for the price of the service, I am happy to pay. There are apps for most every platform.

A few years (three at the time of this post) ago, I reported an issue I had in the (Open Source) RSS Feedreader of my choice, NewsBlur.

NewsBlur tries to handle this case by comparing stories and if they match up to a certain percentage of the content, considers them duplicates.

Here's the code that does the work:

I use both NewsBlur and Feedly as paid services, but NewsBlur at least is open source: https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur
