Hey folks,
I’ve been working away at improving everything about Foragd; bugs, quirks, layout and usage. I’d like to gather some feedback from more folks and have a reward for participants.
Looking for 5 testers to spend about 15-20 minutes trying it out and filling in a short feedback form. In exchange, You’ll get gift card valued at $10 USD (redeemable for gift cards from Amazon US and other US retailers through GiftBit).
You can perform the testing in a web browser on a phone, tablet, or desktop. Any OS, any browser. If you can test on multiple devices, that would be great but not required!
I’ll send a link with the feedback form to be eligible for the gift card, to the first five folks who DM me about this.
To get the gift card: submit the feedback form with your answers. A quick screen recording (even 60 seconds on your phone) of you using the app is optional but greatly appreciated.
There are no right or wrong answers for the feedback questions. However, consistent low-effort, vague and/or short answers will not be eligible for the gift card.
I’ll send the gift card details within 24-48 hours of your form submission. Happy to answer questions in the comments.
Cheers!
submitted by /u/devopswannabeI run an AI news reader (https://helucino.com — mine, free, no account needed to read) that pulls 64 feeds every 15 minutes. Reading them was easy. The thing I wanted was harder: rank stories by how many separate outlets are covering them. Five news websites independently publishing the same story is definitely a signal that the news is important — and to get it you must first know that four articles are one story. So dedupe was the problem I picked.
Four layers, cheapest first:
The output is a +N badge per row, and a sort order. Ranked orders purely by that count; Top applies the same count with an 18-hour half-life so recency still matters. A false merge is much worse than a missed one here — merging two stories hides one of them and inflates the other's count — which is why layer 4 has to agree with itself before it will collapse anything, and why complete linkage is checked both ways before two groups join.
Current reality check: 63 of 64 feeds green. The one that isn't is Hacker News, which is a bit on the nose. Genuinely curious how others handle publishers that block feed readers — mirror, back off, or drop them?

submitted by /u/Silent_MonarchhThe part I care about most is the Deck. Instead of scrolling a feed forever, you get one story at a time as a card. Swipe right and it unfolds into the reader, swipe left and it's gone and the next one springs up. The card rotates with your finger and the keep/skip stamps fade in as you drag, so you can feel the commit point before you let go. It turns "I have 40 tabs open" into a two-minute triage.
The rest:
Reader is clutter-free — article text, adjustable size, nothing else. No related-content grid, no newsletter interstitial.
Offline reading is a toggle, and it's real: flip it on and every story you've saved gets its full content pulled down at launch, so Saved works on a plane or in a tunnel. Off by default, because it costs bandwidth and I'd rather you opt in.
Three themes, named rather than numbered: Daystand, Nightdesk, and Sunset Sync — whicflips automatically as the day turns.
Three languages: English, French and Arabic, including proper right-to-left layout, not just translated strings.
Notifications are per-language topics, so you get headlines in the language you actually read.
Also: search with recent history, topic filters, trending, and a Discover tab for browsing by subject.
No account. No signup, no email, nothing to create. Open it and read.
Free, supported by a single banner ad on two screens — no interstitials, nothing full-screen, nothing that interrupts an article. There's no paid tier and no IAP.

Built solo in Flutter. Happy to answer anything about the build.
submitted by /u/Hwassef01Hello everyone,
I would like to introduce Feedrion, a new application for reading and aggregating RSS feeds, YouTube channels, Google News feeds, and more, similar to Feedly or Inoreader, but with innovative new features. Available on web (https://feedrion.com), andoid, wear os.
Video app android : https://youtu.be/7fSj5YlfU5M
A little background: I previously used Netvibes. After it was discontinued, I switched to Feedly, but I never really enjoyed using it, especially its Android application. So I decided to create my own RSS reader.
My goal was to build a simple and enjoyable application with several features that I found difficult to find elsewhere.
Main Features
🛡️ Spoiler Protection
Are you following a TV series, a sport, a video game, or a competition?
Add the keywords you want to avoid, and Feedrion will automatically hide titles and previews that might contain spoilers. You can reveal them whenever you choose.
This is actually the main reason I created the application: I was tired of getting spoiled simply by checking my RSS feeds.
🤖 AI-Powered Summaries and Translations
You can use your own API key from Claude, OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, Cerebras, or other compatible providers to:
Requests are sent directly from your device to the provider you select. Your API key and data never pass through Feedrion’s servers.
Some providers, such as Groq and Cerebras, offer free usage quotas that may be sufficient for personal use.
📴 Offline Reading and Synchronization
Articles are stored locally so that you can read them without an internet connection.
As soon as your connection is restored, your data is synchronized. Read articles, saved items, folders, and preferences follow you across your devices, particularly Android and the Web.
🔊 Text-to-Speech
Feedrion can read articles aloud, making it convenient to listen while walking, cooking, or travelling.
📁 Organization and Search
You can:
🔔 Keyword Alerts
Receive a notification or an email whenever a new article contains a keyword or topic that interests you.
📖 Reading Comfort
The application includes:
🌍 Available in 13 Languages
Feedrion is currently available in:
French, English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, and Bengali.
Where Can You Try Feedrion?
Web Version
The beta version is available here:
Android and Wear OS
Before I can publish the application publicly on Google Play, Google requires me to run a closed test with at least 12 testers for 14 days.
To participate:
The Google Play link will only work after your Google account has joined the testers’ group.
About Summaries Generated by Feedrion
You may occasionally see summaries that have already been generated by Feedrion.
However, I cannot guarantee that this feature will remain available in the long term, as AI processing can become expensive. I therefore recommend using the local AI feature with your own API key instead.
Some providers, such as Groq and Cerebras, offer free usage quotas that may be sufficient for personal use.
Final Thoughts
Thank you in advance to everyone who agrees to test the application.
I welcome all feedback, whether positive or negative: bugs, usability issues, missing features, or anything that is difficult to understand. You can share your feedback here or use the “Send feedback” feature within the application.
I have tried to create an application that can suit as many people as possible, but without a larger number of real users, it is very easy to overlook certain issues.

submitted by /u/Dramatic_Nerve1204Hi everyone,
I’ve been building SignalCaster, an app for people who manage websites, blogs, RSS feeds, or multiple social channels and want to spend less time doing repetitive publishing work.
SignalCaster connects your RSS feeds, collects new articles, and helps you organize, schedule, and publish content across supported social platforms.
The idea is simple: instead of constantly checking feeds, copying links, preparing posts, and publishing them one by one, SignalCaster brings that workflow together in one place.
Some of the current features include:
SignalCaster is now officially available on both iOS and Android.
🍎 iOS:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/signalcaster/id6760372723
🤖 Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.signalcaster.mobile
🌐 Website:
https://signalcaster.app
I’m still actively developing SignalCaster, so I’d really appreciate feedback from bloggers, creators, marketers, publishers, agencies, and anyone managing content across multiple channels.
I’d especially love to hear:
What part of your content publishing workflow takes the most time that you wish could be automated?
I’m the founder, so feel free to ask me anything about SignalCaster, how it works, pricing, or what’s coming next.

Been doing web dev as my day job for a few years now, and this summer I finally built something for myself instead of clients.
I got tired of scrolling through five different news sites every morning, half of which needed a cookie popup dismissed and were mixing in a ton of US headlines I didn't ask for. So I built North Wire — pulls from CBC, CTV, Global News, Financial Post, BBC, that kind of source list. No account, no cookies, no tracking. Just headlines.
You can add it straight to your home screen from your phone's browser — no App Store needed, nothing to download. It's in beta right now, and there's a feedback form built right into it — genuinely want to know what's broken or annoying before I keep building on it.
Full disclosure: I run a small web design shop in Chilliwack, this was a side project to keep my skills sharp and scratch my own itch. Not trying to sell anyone anything, just sharing since I figured other people might be as tired of the algorithm-chasing headlines as I am.
submitted by /u/North-WireWhat is the most frustrating thing about RSS?
https://www.reddit.com/r/rss/s/uXhg2u6noX
// #p-mas
When Google Reader was still around, I was subscribed to an rss feed and I lost what that feed was.
I'm pretty sure the name was "The Internet [SOMETHING]", which is stupid vague. It was a feed that every so often would have a post that was photos from any time between the 70's and 90's (estimating here). Just life. Sometimes some Adult 18+ photos. But like a random stereotypical dude from the 70's smoking a Marlboro. Some women out for a girls night.
Maybe someone here will see this and be able to reconnect me with that. I never pursued looking for the website publishing the feed. Didn't think about it until after I had lost it.
Thank you for any leads.

submitted by /u/Legitimate_End4690I'm trying to read more newspaper, magazine, journal articles etc
I've subscribed to a few newspapers and mags and the like, and idea is to read them on my tablet. Ideally I'd be getting paper copies but cost + not living in the US or UK makes it difficult.
I've gotten RSS feeds and a read-it-later app but it feels like I'm always running into issues and distractions, like getting logged out of the website, trying to load it from an RSS feed but...getting logged out again in the in-app browser, ads and the like distracting me and so forth.
What I want to do is to browse for articles on my laptop, find some good ones, view them in a reading view, and then put them on the cloud to read later on my tablet as an offline file.
Other than a lo fi option of saving as a PDF + putting on G Drive, or even more lo fi of printing them (which I'm honestly considering), does anyone have any sleeker options to do something like this? I use a Mac computer and an Android tablet. I also have a Kindle but I haven't found articles on Kindle satisfying particularly ones where it has images. Thanks!
submitted by /u/MoltoSupremeHey guys,
I've built a simple RSS reader that keeps you in control of what content you see.
After years tired of News apps, Social Media slop and poor content that only prioritizes engagement over quality, I built this app to help me stay up-to-date and still keep my sanity.
GreatRSS is 100% free, it's web-based and gives you multi-device sync. It looks good on both desktop and mobile. No ads. The idea is to keep it free forever and ask for donations later if I need help paying for servers, etc.
The app is very clean. You pick your sorces, turn them on/off, it syncs manually and it only requires an email and password to login. It's very minimalist.
It's also very opinionated. I want to keep it very simple and quiet. If you are a hardcore reader, that enjoys dozens of articles from many sources, you may not enjoy it. However, if you're looking to tone down the noise, read only what actually matters and some peace of mind, this app is for you.
I hope you enjoy.
I'm actively seeking feedback from RSS users. Let me know what you like/don't like, what features are missing, etc. The app is still in beta stage.
I really hope it can be bring some peace of mind to others.
submitted by /u/metalzzzxHi!
A couple of months ago, I started playing with the idea of building my own frontend for FreshRSS. I like FreshRSS a lot, but I wanted something different for the interface.
That little experiment turned into FriRSS. The idea is pretty simple: FreshRSS keeps doing what it does best, while FriRSS gives you another interface on top of it.
I wanted it to work just as well on my computer as on my phone, so there’s a full desktop interface and a mobile PWA with offline reading.I also wanted to be able to make it mine. Layout, colors, themes, fonts, article view, sidebar… quite a lot can be changed directly from the interface.
It now also has full-text extraction, labels & sub-labels, multiple FreshRSS servers, multi-user/OIDC support, and is available in 9 languages. It’s self-hosted, open source, and runs with Docker on amd64 and arm64.
One thing worth mentioning: I’m not a developer. FriRSS is a vibe-coded project. I started with an interface I wanted for myself, kept adding things, fixing things and learning along the way. I’m still doing exactly that. 🙂
If you’re a FreshRSS user and want to give it a try:
https://github.com/Fripix/Frirss
Feedback and ideas are welcome!
submitted by /u/FripixI mainly use X, Reddit, LinkedIn, and YouTube to follow industry news, discover useful ideas, and keep up with people in my field.
The problem is that nearly every platform now revolves around a recommendation feed optimized for engagement, not necessarily for showing me what is most useful. Even after carefully choosing who to follow, I still spend far more time filtering repetitive, irrelevant, or low-value posts than actually finding something worth reading.
Sometimes I’ll scroll for 30 minutes and come away with only one or two useful posts.
I’ve tried unfollowing aggressively, muting keywords, creating lists, using “save for later,” and setting time limits. These help a little, but they don’t really solve the discovery problem. A purely chronological feed reduces some noise, but it can also make it harder to discover valuable people or emerging conversations outside my existing network.
For those of you who use social media mainly for work, research, or staying informed:
I’d especially like to hear about methods you’ve used consistently—not just general advice like “set a screen-time limit.”

For the past 3 months I've been building WyrmRSS, a self-hosted RSS/Atom reader. It's been running as a Docker self-hosted setup for a while, and I just added a native desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) so you don't need docker or any server to run it anymore. I'm a software developer with 10 years of experience, and have worked at big tech and currently working with open-source.
The app is fully free and open-source.
Some features: inline YouTube player, folders, filters, webhook notifications (Slack, Discord, custom), read later, and archival.
The desktop build is in prerelease while I bake-test it before making it the default release. Would appreciate anyone keen to try it: https://github.com/kryoseu/WyrmRSS
Thank you.

My reader runs on a cheap VPS. Most feeds work fine there. But a few keep giving me 403. Reddit .rss, Tumblr, and sometimes YouTube. Same urls opens fine from my laptop at home, so it is the datacenter IP getting blocked, not the feed.
What helps me: - set a real User-Agent, not the default from the http library - slow the polling, one time per 30 min instead of every 5 - route only these domains through a residental proxy
For reddit the format is reddit.com/r/rss/.rss or reddit.com/user/name/.rss. Youtube is youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=ID.
I keep a small allowlist for proxy, rest stay direct. Tumblr still flaky even with this. If someone found better way i want to hear.
submitted by /u/ajay9452Howdy,
I came here to advertise my feed reader. Then I saw that there is a huge wave of new readers competing for your attention.
After some debating with myself whether to post it at all, I decided to just drop it here with some keyfacts and no ai generated marketing blabla.
Maybe someone is interested, maybe not. I built it mainly for myself and my portfolio. I'm a freelance webdeveloper with 25+ years of experience.

Can you be indie with an LLM?

Is there more info on how something appears on the explore timeline?
I subscribed to a feed-of-feeds that i put together from a folder on inoreader. It's a feed of my posts on mastodon, lemmy, etc.
I expected it to only appear on my Following timeline, but a couple of posts appeared on the explore timeline.
Should users consider anything added to Following to be public? Or can we know more about what will stay on our private Following timeline and what appears on Explore?
I'm not complaining, as I don't know if something has gone wrong exactly and this isn't a security or privacy issue, it would just be good to know what to expect.
It has timelines for local posts, federated instances, people and feeds you follow, and remote feeds added to the server.

submitted by /u/rangevaI've used RSS for fifteen years and what finally broke me wasn't the feeds, it was the unread counter. Five hundred items, all the same size, all shouting.
So I built the opposite: everything goes in, one written piece comes out. Feeds (paste any site URL and it finds the feed), newsletters — each topic inbox has a real email address you can subscribe with — scheduled Google searches, X profiles. Every morning an AI merges the lot into a single briefing: deduplicated, sponsor blocks stripped, with the link to every original under each story. When a feed only publishes a teaser, the full article gets fetched and read.
Two details this crowd usually asks about:
- When several of your sources cover the same fact, they're merged into one entry with a label saying how many told it. It's not an AI claiming something is important — it's your own sources agreeing, and you can see who.
- The digest is also a podcast on a private RSS feed, with show notes and source links, so it plays in any podcast app.
It's early. If you're the person with 200 feeds and a guilty conscience, I want to know where this falls apart: https://proofite.com

ATOM vs RSS - Genuine question for anyone that sees this:
Is one of them better or does it depend on what you’re using it for?
I built Feedcast around a simple idea: the app that prepares a podcast episode does not need to be the app that plays it. RSS can be the interface between the two.
Feedcast imports an existing feed or local media on the Mac, transcribes the episode, creates chapters, applies enabled sponsor-section cuts, and lets the user refine episode metadata. It then publishes the processed result as a personal RSS feed that can be added to Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Castro, and other compatible players.
Version 3.2 made the feed XML available online by default while the actual audio remains served by the Mac. That separation makes feed discovery and subscription easier without moving the media-processing workflow away from the computer.
The most interesting lesson for me was that GUID stability, enclosure URLs, chapters, and metadata compatibility are product features. If any of those details are wrong, the handoff feels broken even when the audio processing itself worked.
I built Feedcast and would be interested in how other RSS developers handle generated feeds whose media remains locally served.

submitted by /u/robert_krHi everyone,
Like many of you here in r/rss, I love the decentralization of RSS, but I always felt there was a missing link: an easy way to *create* and share our own curated feeds directly from our mobile devices without complex setups or expensive subscription fees.
To solve this, I spent the last few months building **Paluego** (an Android app). It started as a personal tool but I’ve just released it publicly.
### 📡 The Main Feature: Curate & Share via RSS
Paluego works like a "Read Later" app, but with a twist. Every time you create a list (e.g., Tech, Cooking, Work), the app automatically generates a **unique, public RSS 2.0 URL**.
You can share this link with friends, students, or your audience. They just need to plug it into their favorite RSS reader (Feedly, Inoreader, NetNewsWire, etc.). Whenever you save a link to that list, it instantly updates for them. No algorithms, no corporate walls.
### 🚀 Key Features:
* **Clean Reading View:** It strips away clutter and ads so you can read your saved links comfortably.
* **Inject Notes into the Feed:** This is my favorite part. When you save a link, you can add a personal note/comment. This comment will appear at the top of the article *inside* your subscribers' RSS readers. Perfect for adding context, summaries, or opinions.
* **Share Sheet Integration:** Save items instantly from any browser or app with a single tap.
* **100% Free & Private:** No trackers, no data collection, and completely free to use.
### 🛠 Why I'm posting here:
The app is fully functional but I consider it a passion project. I’m an indie developer and I really need honest feedback from RSS power users.
* Does the feed structure work well with your preferred reader?
* What missing feature would make this a daily tool for you?
* (I'm also considering building an iOS/Web version if there's interest!).
You can check it out on Google Play here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paluegoapp
I'll be around to answer any questions and take notes on your feedback. Thanks for reading!

(Before i go on, let’s get a couple of things out of the way. Yes, this was coded with AI, so if you don’t like that sort of thing you can skip this. Yes, there are many other ways of merging and filtering feeds. I wanted something that was separate to my rss reader, simple, and free. Nothing else quite fit the bill).
Also…
This is my own hobby project that others might find useful. It's not a public production app to download or register to use. It's a make your own DIY with instructions and code that’s ready to copy and paste. Don’t let that put you off if you’re not a technical user. You just follow the instructions and paste the code. These are my thoughts on AI/vibe coding: https://www.reddit.com/r/rss/comments/1v9r3m4/comment/p0rop1p/
So…
FeedGate is a tool for merging and filtering RSS feeds and incoming webhooks.
It has three basic parts
General settings - a name for your merged feed, a limit for total number of items and how long items can be in the feed for.
Sources - these are the urls of your RSS feeds and webhooks.
Include/exclude - this is where you can add keywords to include or exclude items that contain those words.
Your merged feed can be subscribed to like any other RSS feed, or be pushed to a webhook.
Details, code, instructions and screenshots on my site

submitted by /u/pauladams_redI’ve been working on a new RSS platform for quite a while now and it’s finally getting very close to being finished.
Before I call it done, I’d really like to hear from people who actually use RSS every day. I’m not looking to promote anything yet or collect signups. I just don’t want to repeat the same mistakes that so many readers seem to make.
What are the things that annoy you the most about the RSS reader you use today? Is there anything that always feels clunky, missing, or unnecessarily complicated? And if you could add one genuinely new feature or improve one existing thing, what would it be?
I’m interested in both small quality-of-life improvements and bigger ideas. At this stage it’s still possible for me to change things, so I’d rather hear honest opinions now than after launch.
Thanks in advance. I really appreciate any feedback.
