really interesting post from Evan Schwartz on AI coding, bringing together posts on the "mix of awe, grief, frenetic productivity, atrophying skills, and understanding less while shipping more"
I'm building Feedcast, a Mac podcast tool that prepares a personal copy of an episode and publishes the result as an RSS feed, so people can keep using the player they already use. I'm the developer.
The workflow made me appreciate how much the RSS details matter: stable GUIDs so reprocessing doesn't create a duplicate, enclosure URLs that behave consistently, and chapters and metadata that survive the trip into different players. Sponsor sections can be reviewed before a cut is applied, and the original remains available.
I'm interested in the feed design side of this. When a generated feed changes an episode's media but keeps its identity, what compatibility edge cases have you run into?
Project: https://feedcast.org/
submitted by /u/robert_krI'm a big rss fan, heavy reader
I've been playing around with various implementations for a long time
I created my own syndication, composed of content I consume online
Over time I added to it audio and some video support, so I can create my own "listen later" podcast from any audio enabled page
You can try it here:
submitted by /u/GrapePuzzleheaded474I built Atom1c, a self-hosted RSS reader that you access over SSH. It runs on your server, fetches your feeds, and lets you read full articles in the terminal.
Mostly built it for myself, but figured some of you might like it too.
Here is the code: https://github.com/su1uv/atom1c
submitted by /u/luvly_popI'm a bit nostalgic. There are some podcasts I started listening to years ago (2017~), but not at the start (2008~). At a certain point, the podcast changes, maybe some stalwarts rotate out of the main line-up... I just want to go back, to the beginning.
I'm also someone that has no self-restraint. I'll mainline ten of the same podcast in a day, then forget all about listening to no.11. Podcasts apps do not help this: It's hard to get them to cooperate in a way which surfaces your next episode in the 'Latest episodes' list, because while it may be up next for you, it was actually released 15 years ago.
PodcastDelay solves that, by taking that original feed and 'delaying' it by however long you want. It's a solution for re-publishing a podcast's RSS feed as a new private feed. It can start releasing from any episode, at any cadence, including mirroring the original release cadence.
If a show has two feeds — the regular one and a premium/bonus one — you can merge them into a single delayed feed. Each bonus episode comes out the same distance after its free counterpart as it did originally: an hour stays an hour, a day stays a day, whatever cadence you're replaying the free feed at.
Audio isn't hosted/reposted, but there are plenty of solutions if you wanted to have 'local' media turned into an RSS feed, which PodcastDelay could then put out in the correct cadence.

Me on textlog
Evgeny Morozov has pointed out that using ai through chat interfaces is based on an individualised and privatised model, which (heavily paraphrased) is inherently anti-social. With an extra layer now of people making small personalised tools, do bigger things still need teams of people who know what they’re doing? FWIW I’d like to see more sharing of vibe coded tools instead of everyone making their own more less the same ones. Mine are here: https://pauladams.neocities.org/
hey r/rss :D
i've been building this thing called Reading Desk for a while now and figured this is the place that'd actually get it.
it started because i wanted feeds from sites that don't have one. so now you just click one headline on a page and it figures out the rest and makes a feed out of it. works on sites you have to log into too.
it also does normal rss/atom (obviously lol), youtube channels, and reddit subs and searches with the galleries and videos playing right in the reader. you can mute words, and if 3 sources post the same story you only see it once. there's a daily briefing of what your sources covered, all made on your pc with no AI service or anything. folders fold away and there's a "hide read" button since someone asked for it. and kind of a random one: free classic books from Project Gutenberg, a chapter a day, like a feed. turned out way better than i expected xD
the part i think you guys might like most is that it can turn any folder back into an rss feed. tick "share on my home network" and you get a link for an rss app on your phone. tested it last night with FeedFlow on android and it just worked, pictures and all. then i noticed reddit link posts were opening reddit's page instead of the actual article, so i fixed that this morning. now they open the article, with a "comments on reddit" link right there if you want the thread.
heads up though, cloud readers like Feedly can't reach it since it never leaves your wifi. you want an app that runs on the phone itself.
everything stays on your pc. no account, no cloud, no subscription.
I can't link anything here so there's that.
i'm a solo dev so i'd genuinely love to hear what you'd want from it. what's your feed reader missing?
I do community updates for missing features as well! The goal is simple, no subscriptions, you own it. Trying to put powerful software back into the hands of the people without the hidden strings. :D
submitted by /u/Manifesto-EngineAfter our firs week of beta at MediaHeat / Reader, we kick off the second week adding two new features: Full Article Fetch and Read Later.
Beta Tester slots still available - help me put some stress on this!

submitted by /u/cmedeiroSocial media algorithms optimize for your attention.
RSS feeds optimize for what you actually want to read.
I’ve been thinking about how we consume information online.
When you rely on social media for news and updates, you don’t completely choose what you see.
The algorithm does. And the things that get pushed to you aren’t always the things you actually care about.
RSS feels different.
You choose the sources.
You choose what to follow.
You decide what’s worth reading.
It could be a news website, a blog, a YouTube channel, an engineering blog, a research publication, or simply someone whose work you enjoy.
No endless scrolling. No algorithm deciding what comes next. Just the content you chose to follow.
That’s the idea behind Frontpagee. I’m building it to make following the things you care about simpler, calmer, and more personal.
Still building and improving it, but I’m curious:
Do you still use RSS in 2026, or do you mostly rely on social media to discover what to read?
submitted by /u/GaneshhRaikwarHello!! Anyone know of any plugins for koreader that allow RSS feed articles to be viewed in the same way that epubs and other books are? The scrolling-down format is not something I like very much. I would love if when I choose an article it opens up in exactly the same way as a book does.
QuickRSS doesn't seem to have an option for this, and it looks a little janky right now in my opinion.
submitted by /u/pintoplumbopenrss had them but now my reddit feeds say Too many requests are being made from this network. i'm not a power user, if they only refresh every hour, that's fine for me. any alternatives?
submitted by /u/loudpersononthebusHi r/rss,
I registered feeddi.com back in 2008 and ran a Q&A site on it for years. It never made money, but I kept it going because I liked running it. When AI made Q&A sites pointless, I shut it down and used the
domain for something I'd missed since 2013: Google Reader.
So here it is: https://feeddi.com
What it does:
- Chronological feed, no algorithm. Newest or oldest first, nothing hidden or reordered.
- Folders, unread counts, starred articles, search.
- Google Reader keyboard shortcuts: j/k, s, m, v, Shift+A (press ? for the full list).
- Podcasts built in: audio and video episodes play right next to your articles. YouTube channel feeds show up as videos.
- OPML import and export. Your folders are kept, and you can leave anytime.
- Reading-focused design: Paper, Sepia and Night themes, adjustable text size, focus mode.
- Interface in 21 languages.
- Optional starter packs, so a new account doesn't open to an empty screen.
Platforms: The web app is live now. Android and iOS apps are coming in a few days, synced with the web.
Pricing: Free, and it will stay free. There won't be a paid tier. I'll keep it running on donations, the same way I kept the old site running for years.
What I'd love feedback on:
Import your real OPML. Did anything break, or did any feed fail to load?
What's missing that would stop you from switching from your current reader?
Anything that feels off compared to Google Reader?
I'll be around in the comments. Thanks for taking a look!
submitted by /u/sinandHey everyone,
A few months back, I tested several RSS readers to find the right fit and stumbled upon one with a feature I really loved. It had a toggle in the options that allowed the article view to stretch edge-to-edge - pushing content behind/beyond the status bar to get this "immersive fullscreen" feature.
I really enjoyed it and want to switch back to it but I can’t remember what the app was called! I know I downloaded it directly from the Google Play Store but the app history is not really helping.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks in advance!

The announcement that Reddit will stop supporting RSS soon has me thinking of all the frustration I've been experiencing over the last few months and years. I've used services like Feedbro to essentially skip having to go to different websites just for a glance at artists and quick updates, for convenience's sake and just to not have to suffer through wasteful algorithmic feeds that don't show me what I want.
At this point most if not all of them have closed their doors to the idea, afraid of scraping that keeps happening regardless of their attempts. At the same time, directly interacting with Instagram and Twitter is like poison, and it's designed to be like that. I've mostly used Reddit and, before, Facebook, to go to specific communities in order to avoid feeds, but even that gets much harder as every service starts asking for credentials and ID just to be the same kind of user I've been for decades.
I don't know if it's a rant or a request for help, at this point. Is anyone in a similar boat as far as how they want to use RSS feeds and how it's becoming short of impossible? At this point my Feedbro has turned into mostly a Youtube subscription warning. Discord bots manage to bridge the gap with some Instagram and Twitter accounts, but not by that much. The end goal is obviously to trap people in their own ecosystems, but it's mostly just alienating in practice. I just don't care enough about anything to have to use Twitter frequently.
submitted by /u/roronoapedroI know, another RSS app :(. I've seen the same thing over and over here: a nicer list of articles with a different color scheme. So I'll try to say quickly what this one does differently.
It doesn't show you articles, it shows you stories. You add your feeds as usual (RSS, newsletters over IMAP, or sync with FreshRSS/Miniflux/Inoreader). NewsGator reads the full text, figures out which articles are about the same real-world event, and merges them into one story with a neutral summary and a factual, non-clickbait title. If 5 outlets cover the same thing, you see it once. When a new fact shows up later, the story updates and gets an "updated" badge instead of coming back as unread.
AI is there for triage, not to replace the article. The summary is just the front door. One tap opens the original publisher. I care about that a lot: if readers stop visiting the sources, nobody gets paid, the sources disappear, and RSS dies with them. So the whole thing is built to send you back to the people who wrote the piece, not to keep you in a summary.
Privacy: no account, no ads, no trackers, no analytics. In the standalone app the AI runs on-device or on Apple's Private Cloud Compute, so your reading doesn't go to OpenAI or anyone like that. Library sync is through your own iCloud, and that's also how your devices share the AI work: a Mac (any M-series) can process your feeds all day with Apple Intelligence, and an iPhone without it (iOS 27 runs on iPhone 11 and later, Apple Intelligence needs 15 Pro+) just reads what the Mac already summarized. (To be clear it's not "nothing ever leaves your device": feeds get fetched from the net and PCC is Apple's infra. If you want zero Apple involved, there's a self-hosted server version that talks to whatever local model you want. There is another post about this one somewhere here :) )
Other stuff: OPML import/export, chat with your archive (Embedding, answers cite the stories), 10 languages (but let's be honnest, it is AI translated, so looking for your corrections !!!), it can read stories aloud (on-device voices, and not robotic Siri, CarPlay), Widgets, ...
Status: it's coming soon, public beta on TestFlight right now. iPhone, iPad and Mac. I'm looking for feedback from people who actually have big feed lists, because that's where clustering gets interesting (and where it'll break).
TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/VzV818na
Site: https://www.newsgator.app
Server (open source, MIT): https://github.com/Tekka90/NewsGator
Happy to answer anything, including "why would I want this over [my reader]".
Edit 2026-10-06: Thanks a lot to everyone who has already joined the TestFlight, and sorry for the many builds over the last two days. I've been fixing bugs found by testers and by me.
I'm submitting my first release to the App Store, so validation will take a few days. I've also started working on the iPhone Duo layout, which I'm excited about!
If you're wondering what to test, these are the features I use the least myself, so they're the least battle-tested:
1. Reader API: third-party accounts such as FreshRSS and Miniflux, including read-state sync.
2. Audio: especially the high-quality voices, not the default Siri ones.
3. CarPlay: my kids don't enjoy my morning news, so it gets very little testing from me. 😅
4. Widgets: all sizes, and whether they refresh correctly.
Bug reports of any kind are welcome.
submitted by /u/Tekka90I got tired of paying $12/month for Feedly just to read engineering blogs.
Over the last few years, legacy RSS readers shifted focus toward expensive enterprise cybersecurity packages.
As a result: • Free tiers got throttled to 100 feeds max • Cluttered interfaces with enterprise sales banners • Even basic keyboard shortcuts got locked behind paywalls
At the same time, social media algorithms turned into rage-bait and promotional noise instead of actual high-signal engineering insights.
So, I decided to build a solution: Frontpagee (https://www.frontpagee.in).
What we focused on: ⚡ Ultra-fast, distraction-free reader view
⌨️ Full keyboard navigation (Vim-style J/K navigation for power users)
🔄 30-second OPML import (migrate from Feedly or Inoreader with zero data loss)
📚 Curated public collections for React, AI, and DevOps
It’s built by a developer, for developers. I’d love for you to try it out and share your honest feedback. How do you organize your daily technical reading?

I spun up an instance for rss hub but I don’t actually understand how to use it if I’m being honest.
How can I use it to monitor social media accounts from government agencies without following them.
submitted by /u/newsbypennyHey everyone! I’ve just merged a batch of improvements into Nextflux, my open-source RSS reader client for Miniflux.
Most of this update focuses on making everyday reading feel smoother:
I also put together a new Nextflux homepage!
You can find the source and setup instructions on GitHub.
submitted by /u/electhHey r/rss community! 👋
I'm a huge fan of RSS and having control over my news feeds, but I always felt limited by the language barrier when trying to read local news from other countries. So, I built a project called NewsDoggy to solve this.
It’s a global RSS reader, but with an AI twist.
Here is what it does under the hood:
A quick heads-up on how it works when you sign up: Because the AI processing is heavy, it happens asynchronously in the background. After you select or add your favorite feeds, give it a few minutes.
It's currently running with AI models handling the heavy lifting for translations and semantic search reranking.
I’d love for you guys to check it out! You can add your own custom feeds or explore the global catalog.
Would love to hear your feedback, especially on the UI or how I can improve the feed-fetching engine. Any suggestions are welcome!
Link: newsdoggy.com
submitted by /u/Parking_Guarantee_98I've used a few RSS readers but always ended up copying articles somewhere else to take notes or group them by project. So I built one where that's part of the reader itself.
Works with any RSS feed: blogs, Substacks, journals, arXiv categories.
Curious what this sub thinks is missing.

can anyone recommend a Gaming newsletter or a website Provides a Rss Feed
submitted by /u/AATeeeFIt's been made clear that Reddit will remove public RSS feeds for all subreddits (and I presume search feed too).
Has anyone seen anything about the private RSS feeds that include your user account token? The ones located at https://old.reddit.com/prefs/feeds
I am assuming that, since their announcement specifically mentioned mod actions, that these will be removed: - your moderator inbox RSS - moderator listings RSS
But for example there is a "Your front page" private RSS link of the format: https://old.reddit.com/.rss?feed=[yourusertokenhere]&user=yourusername
Has anyone from Reddit mentioned anything about the status of these?
submitted by /u/chickenandliverMost news apps these days feel like social media traps — endless scroll, algorithms pushing outrage, and popups everywhere.
I wanted to go back to the old Google Reader era, but with a modern UI and dark mode that looks clean on both laptop and phone.
Here’s what I put together: https://www.frontpagee.in
It's completely free to use. You can import your OPML file in one click, switch between sources like Ars Technica, IEEE, or Hugging Face, and read articles without annoying layouts.
It’s built on React, TypeScript, and Tailwind.
Still actively improving the UI and performance. If you have 2 minutes, try opening an article on your phone and tell me if anything feels slow or clunky. Brutal feedback is welcome.

Hi r/rss,
I wanted to share a project we recently launched called vokoloko.cz – a web-based local news aggregator for the Czech region.
What is Vokoloko.cz? It’s an automated content aggregator designed to fetch, parse, and display local news via RSS in a clean, distraction-free environment.
Key Principles & Tech Specs:
Zero AI at Runtime: While we used AI tools as coding assistants during development to write the extension scripts, the live site runs 100% on traditional, deterministic RSS ingestion—no AI-generated content or dynamic AI processing.
Our goal was to prove that classic web technologies (Joomla + RSS) can still deliver a fast, useful, and privacy-respecting news reader for local communities.
Check it out at https://vokoloko.cz
I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions from the RSS community!

I wrote two prior RSS feed aggregator apps a few years ago, based on Electron, for my own personal use (https://github.com/Dotnaught/rssputin) and earlier this year I decided to see whether the concept would work as a hosted app.
Going with a multiuser system seemed to point toward more social features and the project has evolved into a combination of news aggregation site, personal news tracker, and social publishing service.
Feel free to suggest possible improvements.
