  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Miniflux

    Minimalist and opinionated feed reader

  • As a recent returnee to the world of RSS feeds, I’ve been enjoying the miniflux client [1] self hosted with docker-compose. Fast, cross-platform, not fancy.

  • readability.php

    PHP port of Mozilla's Readability.js

  • There are RSS readers like Tiny Tiny RSS [1] which are able to do exactly that (in this case using a PHP port of Mozilla's library [2]). Does not work in 100% of cases but is a really useful thing.

  • nitter

    Alternative Twitter front-end

  • Two uses for RSS feeds in conjunction with invidious and nitter:

    1. You can subscribe to YouTube channels via an invidious instance without ever logging into google.

    2. You can subscribe to anyone's twitter feed via a nitter instance without ever logging into twitter.

    Invidious is an alternative front-end to YouTube

  • Two uses for RSS feeds in conjunction with invidious and nitter:

    1. You can subscribe to YouTube channels via an invidious instance without ever logging into google.

  • news

    :newspaper: RSS/Atom feed reader

  • Previously I used Nextcloud News and enjoyed it, but recent versions require 64-bit PHP [1], which I didn’t have on the Raspberry Pi. Never did figure out why this requirement was imposed just for the News app.

  • osmosfeed

    Turn GitHub into an RSS reader

  • I have been using osmo feed [0]. Rather than self hosting, it uses GitHub actions. I have my own usename.github.io/to-read linked to it, to access it from anywhere. So far I have liked this approach.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
