Show HN: Convenient web rss-reader

Anyone know if there is a Docker container for this app? I've found Docker to be a great tool for trying server apps out without littering my system with extra installations.

I recommend: https://www.goread.io/

Very similar; made with Go.

Thanks for releasing this! Anyone know if there is a Docker container for this app? I've found Docker to be a great tool for trying server apps out without littering my system with extra installations.

The executable is just a single .jar file so not sure Docker would be very useful here.

I have been using goread.io pretty much since it launched. There is a really annoying bug though that affects me every time I read my feeds. All my posts get marked as read at once when I resize the window in a certain way.

I had a go at fixing it myself but it seems I couldn't (my PR did get merged but the problem persists) and no one else seems to be trying to fix it so I am thinking of finding an alternative.

The truerss demo doesn't seem to work at all for me though. The page shows up but when I click on a post it doesn't show anything.

After google reader shutdown I switched to http://www.newsblur.com/ as my reader, I recommend and pay for it.

Me, too. It has unique features - I love it!
