news_flash_gtk VS matcha

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.

Similarly, there’s also https://github.com/piqoni/matcha tool which can do this for any feed and locally.

https://github.com/piqoni/matcha can summarize feed articles with gpt3.5 , but not categorize yet

Ah, it's written in Go so executing the binary is even easier. No need to install anything else. I added linux-arm64 on the release notes. Let me know if you face any trouble. At the end of this https://github.com/piqoni/matcha/releases/tag/v0.5.3

I added yesterday a simple OpenAI integration to Matcha RSS Reader so it can summarise RSS articles using GPT-3. I think it could be a useful feature when you just want to know the gist of something (like in a news article) or help you decide whether to click an article when the title is a bit cryptic.

You download the linux release at releases section: https://github.com/piqoni/matcha/releases/tag/0.3

Check Matcha, my own open-source daily digest RSS reader: https://github.com/piqoni/matcha

"Hosting" is as easy as executing the binary file. :)

You can read the feeds in any markdown reader (such as Obsidian) or Terminal.
