ttrss_plugin-feediron VS news_flash_gtk

It Technically could but as far as I am aware it doesn't.

Some alternatives

TT-RSS has multiple plugins, including the one I currently support https://github.com/feediron/ttrss_plugin-feediron

FressRSS has CSS selector support out of the box and has a readability extension that supports Readability or Mercury

I've been dreaming of porting Feediron to both FreshRSS and Nextcloud news. But I barely have any free time as is... one day

Back when I was using Tiny Tiny RSS I've developed af_feedmod to download the article from the linked webpage so you'd end up with a full feed. This was later forked into FeedIron and seems to be somewhat popular by now.

I'm a die hard TT-RSS user, mainly because of the Feediron plugin (A full text page parser) that I now maintain.

The official plugin uses a php port of Mozilla's Readability, which is used for Firefox Reader Mode. There is also the 3rd party FeedIron that is more configurable.

Always good to see RSS projects pop up on hackernews. I'm still maintaining the Feediron plugin for TT-RSS - https://github.com/feediron/ttrss_plugin-feediron

Unlike this project Feediron is only for modifying existing RSS feeds to extract the desired information. Typically uses xpaths to select content

> I've never open sourced it though because I guess it's a bit of a grey area

I'm maintaining the TT-RSS plugin feediron https://github.com/feediron/ttrss_plugin-feediron that fetches full-text data, so my thinking is this:

At the end of the day if it's a openly available website and you are personally (through your own server) fetching the resources I don't think anyone has a right to complain.

Now if you were offering it as a service it might arguably be a bit more grey, but only if you're ignoring the robots.txt file

So you plan something like the FeedIron TT-RSS Plugin (https://github.com/feediron/ttrss_plugin-feediron) to allow customization of a feed to get relevant content?

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.
