What do everyone use for feed reader !? My old phone used to have a built in feed reader. And my old browser also used to have a feed reader. Looked on Google play and there where very little to choose from. Thinking of creating my own feed reader ... Or have "blogging" moved over to "Youtubing" and the occasional podcast !?

I've been using https://tt-rss.org/ for many years now. I'm hosting the backend on a small VPS just for myself. The web client and the Android app are great and the whole stack is rock solid. Highly recommended if you want to read your feeds on multiple devices and keep them in sync.

I really like the simplicity and minimalism of Sfeed. I setup a nightly cronjob that generates an ordinary HTML page, from all the RSS feeds that I like to follow.

Heya, so I just checked out Sourcehut and despite really wanting to use it (and pay) I decided not to. But because I find the product cool, I figured I should note why. So, 1. My primary projects of which I need private hosting contain many (less than a GB, currently) "large" files hosted. Of course, these files need to be tied to the source code. Currently I'm solving this with Git LFS. Now, I'm not exactly tied to…

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Regarding point 1, I do eventually want to add git lfs support. Regarding point 2, the only thing I can say is "don't knock it until you've tried it". As someone who's spent thousands of hours each in GitHub, Gerrit, and email, as well as some time in GitLab, Gitea, and Phabricator, I've tried a lot of workflows and email is by far the most efficient. However, in the future I plan on add…

Oh, and if there's a way to subscribe / be notified when LFS support is added please let me know :)

For now I'm building around Gitlab, possibly migrating to Github if I run out of LFS storage on Gitlab (Github lets you pay for more storage.. don't think I can on Gitlab yet..).

Appreciate your work :)

It'll definitely be announced on sr.ht-announce:

I always liked the concept of webrings as a vehicle of discovery, but in practice it was always terrible. Nobody curated what could or could not be part of a ring so you were absolutely not finding good pages by clicking on the “next site” link.

They have potential, but there are nuances to make them worth using

It's interesting that none of the comments so far complain about the size of the binary (13MB!). Nodejs and Electron projects get flak for this all the time, but Go somehow gets away with it.

I think the larger complaint about electron is the memory usage, not disk space usage. Go may have large binaries, but they run fast and efficient.

Personally, it’s the slowness, not the memory use

I'm a lifetime subscriber to Feedly ( https://feedly.com ) which has behaved sanely since I joined and claims to have mobile apps but I'm not the target audience for reading blogs on my phone. There are also quite a few self-hosted options, the most famous one that springs to mind is TinyTinyRSS ( https://tt-rss.org/ ) but I'm sure there are folks who have more experience with any alternatives https://alternativeto.n…

Feedly is excellent. If they only added decent feed management to their Android client (unsubscribing from a post level in particular), it would be perfect.

Coming soon

Is it just me, or is this just an automated way to steal other people's content and put it on your blog without their permission? > ...fetch the latest 3 articles from among your sources... Then you can include this file with your static site generator's normal file include mechanism.

It only fetches the first 256 characters and links through to the article on your own site... I guess if you don't like it you can send me a DMCA request.

Seems like it's only the first 255 characters /pedant
