Hey everyone,
I wanted to share an update on Foragd, a web-based feed reader I’ve been building. My goal with Foragd is to provide a clean experience for gathering and reading content, not a cluttered inbox.
First off, thanks for the folks who did some more testing for me! As a solo developer, all feedback and testing is super valuable. I'm working through the feedback you've given to make Foragd even better!
What’s new since July:
- Global Article Filters: In addition to per-subscription article filtering, you can now define filters that will apply across all subscriptions.
- Previous/Next Article Buttons: When viewing an article, there are now buttons that allow you to go the next or previous article quickly, without needing to navigate back to the lists.
- Remembering Scroll Position: I’m implementing better logic to remember your scroll position when navigating back to the lists pages.
UX & UI Improvements:
- Typography: Improved fonts. Foragd uses Alegreya as the default article font. Inter is used for labels and controls. I’m looking into adding the ability to choose from a bunch of font sets as well as adjusting the size for individual customisation of the article font.
- Themes: I’ve reworked all available themes, making sure contrast and other issues are resolved. Dark themes in particular should have more overall contrast.
- Better Email Newsletters: I’ve reworked email newsletter layouts to remove some of the more janky quirks of converting email html to regular html.
Backend Improvements:
- Behind the scenes, when the backend fetches feeds, it now tries to enrich feeds/items that lack details, like only summaries or no images.
- Search performance and relevance improvements.
Sale Pricing
I’m running sale pricing at the moment:
- Annual USD $36 (was $59), paid annually.
- Monthly USD $5 (was $7.50), paid monthly.
The trial period is now 30 days as well, with no need to enter payment details until the trial period is finished.

Foragd is handcrafted for the love of the independent and underground web. If you have any questions, feedback, or feature requests, please drop them below or DM me!
