newsboat VS yarr

If you're using https://newsboat.org, you can add a filter (killfile) to remedy this:

  ignore-article "*" "title =~ \"#shorts\""

I use newsboat.

> Have you used any modern RSS reader recently like inoreader, they load the content of the page without visiting the publishing website.

I'm happy with newsboat[1]; but I'm not surprised that people have integrated scraping into RSS readers.

Fundamentally, that's not a problem with RSS, that's a war between scrapers and content providers. If the email newsletter model persists long enough, I'd expect that people will come out with "newsletter readers" that scrape websites too.

I'm not sure there's a good long-term solution to the problem. Aside from constant vigilance (obfuscation).

So, I installed a terminal RSS reader called Newsboat and added the feed to it. I have it always running in a terminal, and the scores refresh every minute. I can open the Cricinfo link in a browser by selecting a match and typing o.

Not at the moment. There is an open Github issue asking for that feature, however, no idea if/when that will be implemented: https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/issues/904

Here's part of my newsboat config (works great for subscriptions):

Newsboat RSS / Feed reader

Che rss feader usate? Io per il momento uso Newsboat su Desktop e Feeder su Mobile

me too but i came back with yarr reader https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr

I switched to yarr from FreshRSS. Set it up in a docker container and stuck authentik in front of it.

I self host a yarr[1] instance. I love it, and it's pretty cheap to do so. RSS is still ubiquitous, if underground. Sometimes the feed links are hard to find but they're usually there.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am now maintaining a fork of yarr(https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr). The reason for that is the original author of the tool doesn't want to introduce any 3rd party dependencies(https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr/issues/57#issue-864736485).

yarr! - I’ve been locking for a solid minimalist rss docker app and couldn’t be happier with it!

Picking a good RSSReader (FreshRSS, yarr) and finding out ways to get good feeds (rssbridge, fivefilters) was a game changer. I get much more diverse information, and that I decide what I see (opposed to some algorithms).
