  I missed Palabre so much I built my own RSS reader. Looking for honest feedback

  Hey everyone!

  Palabre was my favourite reader for years, and when it died I never found anything that felt the same on Android. So I decided to build my own. It’s called Flash, and it’s finally out on the Play Store! =)

  I know you see a lot of new readers here, so I’ll keep it quick. Here’s what I tried to do differently:

  • It’s made for people who’ve never used RSS. You pick a few topics and it adds good feeds for you. My non-techy friends got it in seconds
  • When you’ve read everything, it just says “That’s everything for now. See you later.” No endless scroll, no algorithm
  • Star your favourite sources so they always show first
  • Keyword alerts (get pinged when something you care about shows up) and keyword blocking (never see that topic again)
  • AI summaries that run on your phone, nothing gets sent anywhere
  • No account, everything stays on your phone, and OPML import/export for those of you moving over

  It’s free with a few small ads, or one payment to remove them for good. No subscription, ever.

  It’s just me working on this, so any feedback means a lot. What’s missing? What bugs you? What would make you switch? Be honest, I can take it 😄

  Thanks for reading!
