Aggregating the aggregators
submitted by Paul_lem to rssReply source
1 points | 0 comments
https://paul.tinypost.blog/aggregating-the-aggregatorsI’ve updated my feedland page with 13 aggregator and firehose feeds from Bear Blog, Pinboard, Scour, Hacker News and others.
A good way to use these is to put them all in one folder in your reader and filter for keywords based on your interests.

Leggo: A free iOS/iPadOS RSS & JSON feed reader with background refresh and native iCloud sync
Reply sourceHi everyone,
For anyone looking for a simple, native feed reader on iOS that respects open standards and data ownership, I made Leggo.
It's standard-friendly:
- Supports RSS, Atom, and JSON Feeds: Parses links directly with a live feed preview before adding.
- Data Portability: Full JSON export and import so you are never locked into the app.
- Native iCloud Sync: Seamlessly keeps subscriptions and read/unread status synchronized between iPhone and iPad without requiring a third-party aggregator service (like Feedly or Inoreader).
- Background Refresh: Quietly fetches articles in the background so your feeds are ready when you open the app.
It’s completely free on the App Store without ads or tracking.
You can check out screenshots and details here: https://leggo-rss.fizban.net/
Suggestions and feature requests are very welcome!

Built an Android app that follows YouTube channels via RSS instead of the API
Reply sourceWanted to share this here since it's a fairly literal use of RSS: YouTube still exposes a per-channel RSS feed even though it's not advertised anywhere. My app (Focus Feed) uses those feeds to pull new uploads instead of going through YouTube's API or algorithm — so you just get a plain chronological list of what channels you follow have posted, no recommendations, no autoplay.
It also supports per-channel keyword filters on the RSS titles, and you can pull a whole playlist's feed in at once. No account or sign-in needed, it's just consuming public feeds.
Curious if anyone here has run into limitations with YouTube's RSS feeds (delay before new uploads show up, missing metadata, etc) — happy to compare notes.

Newsairy 1.15 — Article Info (a closer look at where every article comes from)
Reply sourceHi r/rss, a quick update on Newsairy, the iCloud-native RSS reader I've been building. It's been a few releases since I last posted here (1.11 in July), so a quick recap before the headline:
- 1.12 — add a feed by pasting the website's address, not just the feed's; Newsairy finds it for you
- 1.13 — a rebuild of how the app shares state under the hood, much faster large archives (tested with 150,000 articles), and a Shortcuts action to add a feed from outside the app
- 1.14 — full YouTube channel support (video, description and thumbnail, right in the article), and a fix for an Inoreader sync bug where read/starred state stopped syncing once your account had nothing left unread or unstarred
And now 1.15 adds an Article Info sheet, opened from any article's context menu: where it's from (the feed's name and which archive it lives in — local, iCloud, or one of the aggregators), its published/updated/read dates, its read and starred state (switchable right there), and when retention will remove it. Feed Info also picked up two more lines: the feed's format (RSS, Atom, JSON) and the date of its newest archived article, so a feed that's gone quiet gives itself away at a glance.
I built it mostly for smart feeds and folders, where an article shows up without the usual context of "which feed is this from again?" - now that's one tap away instead of a guess.
For anyone who hasn't come across it: Newsairy syncs over iCloud across iPhone, iPad and Mac, and Pro adds sync with TheOldReader, Miniflux, FreshRSS, Feedbin and Inoreader. One-time purchase, no subscription, no ads, no tracking.
I have a long todo list, but I'm always open to suggestions - if there's a feature or a use case you'd like to see, let me know.

Across News App - For RSS Enthusiasts
Reply sourceI built Across News App 🌉
I used to use Pulse News, and I really loved its unique carousel-style layout. It was dense, quick to scan, and made it easy to keep up with the sources I already cared about.
When I couldn't find that experience anymore, I decided to build my own take on it.
Across is a simple, dense news reader that helps you stay in sync with the sources you care about — without endless scrolling.
Just launched on Android. Would love to hear what you think!
More coming Across.
Please do support in any way you can, it is a hobby project but I have poured my heart and soul into this ❤️
Let me know any feedback you guys have. This community is the most apt place I need feedback from🙏

Looking for a good free RSS reader — especially for LinkedIn and sites without RSS
Reply sourceHi,
I’m looking for a good free RSS reader where I can collect updates from different websites and sources in one place.
A few questions:
- What free RSS reader would you recommend?
- Is there any good way to follow LinkedIn pages/profiles through an RSS reader?
- What about websites that don’t have their own RSS feed? Is there a good service that can create an RSS feed from a normal webpage and then send updates to my RSS reader?
- Ideally, I want the tool to generate a normal RSS URL/feed, which I can then simply add to Inoreader or another RSS reader.
Basically, I want the self-hosted tool to handle the scraping/feed generation, while Inoreader remains my actual RSS reader.
Ideally, I’d like something simple where I can follow a mix of news sites, industry websites, LinkedIn and other pages without checking everything manually .
Any recommendations?

I built RSS –> Telegram and ended up with follow(object)
Reply sourceLet’s say I applied to YC. With a really BIG idea! Like everyone thinks that their idea is big enough to apply to YC. At least I assume it.
My idea is follow(object);
Okay, I really applied to YC with this idea and… of course I check my email everyday, idk why but I also followed their social media account’s YouTube, Instagram, TikTok. Like to be ready if something happens You know, to say “Yes, I already follow You”.
I clicked the links in their website footer, and followed in each platform separately. YC Instagram: follow. YC YouTube: follow. And…
So, now notifications and follow in many platforms completely broken. It’s more like “power-like”, “we see that you REALLY INTERESTED in this Object.”
I really followed YC in Instagram. Of course all notifications from social media app are switched off, and we know why. You think when I opened insta they showed me last YC post? No. Trending video OR/AND an ad.
So, what if I’ll create a backend that can read channels and deliver signals, not whole content, just “published”. So this backend will be able to read all channels and deliver everywhere.
Through simple API I’ll create my bot in Telegram, that will send me notification every time in my conditions (when, how, what etc), when YC do something towards me: publish new posts, send me an email, like my post, etc. And what if I want only email, but able to see new posts by demand. I can switch off TikTok and Instagram now, and then re-activate them. Follow(YC);
And remember these backend can work with every app. So what if I want to get this updates from YC in… let’s say WhatsApp, or WeChat instead of Telegram, or…? Whatever, right?
That’s how it became DirectFlow.
ObjectD.channel.output -> ObjectF.channel.input. Everyone can change their output AND input channels.
So I started the project with this goal, and call it DirectFlow. First real implementation is here https://directfollow.com
Recently add Slack as delivery. I mean, an input channel. It means technically You can get all your notifications from everywhere in Slack or whatever app you want.

Foragd August Updates Post
Reply sourceHey 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.

[POC] rssFriends.com: a self-hosted social RSS Radar that meets the Fediverse
Reply sourceTL;DR: I built a self-hostable social RSS reader that federates with Mastodon. Live demo + code linked below
Today the POC of my favorite feed reader is finally ready, it has all the features I had in mind for it.
It started from a small idea. In my world, very few people around me use RSS, and I always wanted to know what they follow and what they find interesting, maybe I'd want to follow them too. For example, I knew two of my coworkers were daily RSS users like me, but there was no way for us to see each other's reading.
So I let myself dream a bit and, with the help of AI, put together a version of that dream. You can see the live instance here: https://rssfriends.com/
The code of this POC lives here: https://github.com/pesarkhobeee/FediverseRssFriends
In short: it's a social, RSS-friendly radar for the open web, self-hosted, with magic-link auth, and connected to the fediverse (ActivityPub).
In detail you can:
- Add RSS or Atom feeds and put them in your own categories
- Share your list of feeds on a public page, or keep your account fully private
- Follow other people and see what they read or bookmark
- Save (bookmark) items you like
- Group your feeds into categories, and subscribe to each category as its own RSS feed
- Follow people on Mastodon and other rssFriends servers, and let them follow you from where they already are. This part uses ActivityPub (the same protocol Mastodon uses)
- It also supports the wonderful Wallabag: you can bookmark anything and it's automatically saved to your Wallabag. This is probably my favourite feature, because it fits my personal workflow: I bookmark what I like on rssfriends.com, it goes to my Wallabag, and from there it shows up on my e-reader (KOReader), which also supports Wallabag.
If you want, you can visit my public page and see if it's something you'd enjoy using too:

r/rss continues to be unmoderated :(
Reply sourceWe've all seen r/rss being flooded with ads, self-promotion, and completely off-topic posts. It is unclear when there was last any meaningful moderator activity. Posts about the lack of moderation:
- 2026-07-22 What's up with the casino ads?
- 2026-06-01 Can we just have a thread for people to promote their reader and and ban all other promotional threads?
- 2021-09-01 TIL the only moderator of this r/rss , sodypop, is a Reddit admin “Doesn't seem to have interacted here in a while though :/”
Some of us have tried to help remedy this situation by reporting spam where we see it, by messaging the moderators to offer help, and by asking for the subreddit to be handed over via the r/redditrequest process. Unfortunately, nothing has helped, and r/rss continues to be unmoderated.

Vulnerabilities in RSS readers via CSS
Reply sourceHi fellow RSS Reader authors (doesn't everybody write one these days?),
I came across this article about CSS-related vulnerabilities in email readers:
https://portswigger.net/research/css-the-bomb-inside-your-inbox
Frankly, I found this quite shocking. As RSS readers render third-party HTML, these issues potentially affect RSS readers as well.
I am wondering which strategies you use for sanitizing and rendering third-party HTML? In particular, for HTML-based readers.
In my reader, I am currently using whitelist-based sanitation of the HTML on the server side (using sanitize-html npm). On the client, I am using safeSetHTML where supported as a second-layer defense, but slightly less strict to avoid issues with third-party embeddings (TikTok, X..). Without safeSetHTML, I am using DOMPurify.
Unfortunately, my UI does not allow me to use iframes for HTML, which would allow additional sandboxing. CSP is still on my TODO list.
How do you deal with untrusted HTML?

Do you still use RSS and feed reader apps in 2026?
Reply sourceDo you still use RSS and feed reader apps in 2026 ?
If you do , can you actually reach the full range of sources out there? Filter them by keyword, or just describe what you're after in plain language and get the 20 sources that matter for your monitoring in ten seconds?
My context: I've had this idea that any curious person or content creator should be able to reach the best 400,000 RSS feeds in the world without effort , straight from their AI tool or their automation stack.
If that existed tomorrow, what would you plug it into? And what are you using instead right now?

Webz.io built a News Search API with 300K+ sources and filters most news APIs don't offer
Reply source[Webz.io](http://Webz.io) News Search API combines **natural-language search** with filters that go beyond the basics.
Instead of building complex Boolean queries, you can describe what you’re looking for in plain language, then narrow the results by **sentiment** and **category**, in addition to source, country, language, and date.
That makes searches like these much easier:
* Negative news about a company * Cybersecurity incidents in the technology sector * Positive financial news around a specific market * Political or business news related to a particular event
The API searches across 300K+ news sources and returns relevant articles and matching content chunks.
Useful for RAG, AI agents, media monitoring, financial research, risk intelligence, and competitive analysis.
You also get **$5 in free credit every month**, so it’s easy to test and build with before committing.

Reply sourceI was looking for a way to interact better with my feeds, and I love the aesthetic of the old school newspaper. First, I built a python script to create it. But now I made it into an android app.
The basic idea is that you add your feeds, then choose which some to star, the app gets all the ones from the starred feeds and some of the others and build the news paper. See some example outputs here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nF8saFKpJxEzxMFe0eL7vkm4mP3mJnj3?usp=sharing

I built an RSS reader around a question: should Reddit and YouTube just be feeds too?
Reply sourceI’ve used RSS for a long time, but over time my actual “feeds” ended up scattered across three different places:
RSS for websites
Reddit for communities
YouTube for channelsThat always felt a bit ridiculous to me. They’re fundamentally doing the same job: show me new things from sources I chose to follow.
So I started building RSSum for myself as a normal RSS reader, and eventually decided to treat Reddit communities and YouTube channels as first-class feeds too.
Now I can have an unified RSS feed, a subreddit and a YouTube channel sitting next to each other in the same library, rather than jumping between three different apps.
It still behaves like an RSS reader: I choose what I subscribe to, I can organize sources, import/export OPML, and there’s no recommendation feed deciding what I should see.
I’ve also been experimenting with summaries/Q&A, including using the actual transcript for YouTube videos, all reddit comments analyzes, etc.
It’s whether RSS should remain strictly about RSS/Atom URLs, or whether the RSS-reader model itself is useful for following other sources too.
RSSum is free and open source, currently on the app store and TestFlight for iPhone/iPad.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rssum/id6743862589
TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/DByXE2ZU
Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/iosapps/comments/1vkw2ge/freeopen_source_rss_reddit_and_youtube_reader/
Curious what people here think: would having Reddit and YouTube alongside RSS make your reader more useful, or do you specifically want your RSS reader to stay RSS-only?

Big Update to my open-source RSS Reader: Qt redesign, Reader Mode, OPML, Linux build, and more
Reply sourceHi everyone — I posted RSS Reader Pro here about 20 days ago, and the feedback helped me decide what to build next.
This is a big update for the project. I rebuilt the desktop UI from Tkinter to PySide6 / Qt and gave it a new Signal Modular interface: a dark, three-column reading workspace with visual story cards, a compact feed sidebar, and a focused reading panel.
I also implemented one of the most useful suggestions from the earlier post: Reader Mode. The app can now fetch and display a cleaner version of an article inside the desktop app instead of forcing you to read every page in a browser.
What is new
•Modern Qt desktop UI with a full visual redesign
•Reader Mode for cleaner full-article reading
•Advanced search with date, unread, and bookmarked filters
•Feed categories and unread counters in the sidebar
•OPML import/export for moving subscriptions between readers
•Bookmark export as HTML or PDF
•Desktop notifications, font-size controls, and auto-scroll
•Native in-app playback for compatible direct video files, without requiring VLC
•System-player fallback for YouTube, Vimeo, Redgifs, and other non-direct video sources
•Linux x86_64 portable build, alongside the Windows EXE
•Stronger regression testing for feed refresh, in-app video, and safe shutdown during background refreshes
The app is still local-first: feeds, reading state, and bookmarks are stored locally in SQLite.
Links
•GitHub: https://github.com/erfan138057/rss-reader-app
•Latest release (Windows + Linux ): https://github.com/erfan138057/rss-reader-app/releases/tag/v1.0.3
•Previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/rss/comments/1v9pg91/rss_reader_pro_opensource_desktop_rss_reader_with/
I would especially love feedback on the new Qt UI and on what should come next. One idea I am considering is an optional local-network/web mode so users could read the same feeds from another device on their home network.
Thanks again to everyone who gave feedback on the first post.

feederss: a sidekick for miniflux which encourages social reading
Reply sourceI made a thing called feederss. It sits next my self-hosted RSS reader, miniflux, reads its database, and publishes a small static page showing who subscribes to what, which categories they’ve configured, and what articles they’ve starred (a modified version of mine is here - I’ve removed a few users). The site also includes a JSON blob I use to populatea list or recent articles i've liked on my website.
I came up with the idea while taking “Solidarity Infrastructures” at School for Poetic Computation a couple years back. In the class we were challenged to imagine online communities outside the hegemonic grasp of algorithmic curation and surveillance capitalism. Fortunately you don’t have too look too far back to understand that another internet is possible. Many of us remember a time before social media and AI summarizations when RSS feeds and free tools like Google Reader allowed you explore the many weird and wonderful corners of the web. When I found Miniflux, its simple design reminded me of this era and I was excited to share it with others. I now host an instance for a few friends on a raspberry pi in my living room and feederss helps us keep tabs on what everyone else is reading.
If you want to try it out, there are instructions on Github: https://github.com/abelsonlive/feederss
Enjoy!

I scraped some of the lists, eliminated all of the duplicates and fed them to one AI chatbot after another. I couldn’t even get all the AI engines to barely agree “Who’s Left? Who Matters?”
I had to fight them to actually verify if the domain still even responds, if they had been repurposed or what, and they hallucinated defunct sites as live - and functional ones as dead.
I’ve whittled it down to 11 directories that I will be testing out this weekend one by one. I’ll be happy to share my successes - but was wondering if anyone had a good working list of their own…

Link penalties on social media platforms
Although I’ve known for a while that social platforms make posts with links in them less visible, I didn’t know until recently just how much they did it. So, here’s a run down of how much different platforms penalise links and how you can work with it.
(Although the real answer is of course to use platforms that don’t penalise links, sometimes you have to go where people are)

Old reddit RSS feeds are dead
Reply sourceRecently old reddit was restricted to only logged into users, so any feeds using old reddit don't work anymore.

I built a tool that turns news/RSS into ready X posts - looking for honest feedback
Reply sourceHey,
I’ve been working on a side project that solves a problem I kept running into: keeping X accounts active with fresh content without spending hours writing posts every day.
It takes a news source or RSS feed and turns the content into natural-sounding X posts. You can either let it post automatically or review everything first. It only uses the official X API.
I’m mainly looking for feedback from people who actually manage X accounts or work with news content:
- Does this sound useful to you?
- What would make you try something like this?
- Any obvious gaps or things that feel unnecessary?
Here’s the site if you want to take a look: aismfeed.com
Appreciate any honest thoughts (critical ones welcome).

Instagram posts in my RSS feed, it's possible?
Reply sourceSo I ditched Instagram for good but there are some artists that use Instagram for announcing tours, new music, merchandise etc... it's possible to put these posts inside my RSS feed so I can see them without Instagram?
