FeedHQ VS Feedbin

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.

It would work the same for me, if only because I'd redirect the email to my RSS reader (via Feedbin[0] or Kill the Newsletter[1] or similar)! I suspect most people who care about RSS would do the same, but the Webflow docs[2] show it being pretty straightforward to set up, and (imo) it's an easy backup hedge against all your comms getting stuck in spam filters. Plus, it just feels more ADHD-friendly to me to reduce ping noise as much as possible.

I use Feedbin to read them. Because of their open nature nobody can tell the sole developer there “people can only read feeds using our app, and you can go pound sand”.

Comes to my mind one that I bumped into a while ago: Feedbin, although I haven't tried it. It's web based and it costs $5/month but it has a 30 day trial period. It works also through third party apps on Android and iOS (well, the latter seems to have a dedicated one by themselves).

There’s a RSS feed which you can use with something like feedbin.com

I can recommend https://feedbin.com/ as a great replacement. It's $50 a year, but in return you get a service that is rock solid with an owner who is luckily very good in >> not << implementing features: no feature creep, no breaking changes, no BS.

I enjoy using Feedbin, as it's not only my own newsfeed for blogs, but it also supports Twitter too. The interface has a clean, thoughtful design which is really important for me.

I no longer self host it, but there is a community contributed Docker Compose stack for Feedbin.
