Quite ironically, readeck is not able to parse this article EDIT: used the firefox extension to save it, pasting the link directly into readeck works :)

Any idea why the extension failed? I go to great lengths to make my blog a good web citizen (semantical, working without JS etc.), and that it isn't parseable would be a thing I need to fix.
But I just tried again and now it saved it correctly.
On my first try it only showed a line of two of the main content, truncated by an ellipsis.
I faced the same issue, but I wanted to use my Kindle to read RSS feeds without relying on my PC, phone or Amazon, so I built a FOSS web-based RSS reader compatible with the Kindle browser.

Hello Adham! Great solution, but I'm having an issue using my Paperwhite 7 Generation in the Kindle web browser. When I try to click on any of the already saved feed, a pop up appears showing the following: loadFeed error: 'undefined' is not an object. Maybe you have already encountered an issue like this. Thanks in advance!

Interesting project! I’d love to self-host but can’t find the backend server code - could you share a link to its repo?
So without the Backend you're only missing the email feature. All you need is a proxy to bypass CORS.
To be honest I was thinking of keeping the Backend closed source to add subscriptions ($1 per month) to cover the hosting (4$), which means I only need 4 users to break even haha.
Will think about open sourcing the Backend and get back to you.

Since the reader is Open Source, can you run it on your machine and view it on your local network to debug and tell me what's the issue so that I can fix it?

It's hard for me to debug this because I don't have a Paperwhite 7. I assume it's a JS compatibility issue but not where the exact root cause.

On Kindle 7’s outdated WebKit, both feed loading and article opening failed because the code relied on Set and DOM properties(too modern) that were missing, causing “undefined is not an object/function” errors. I could fix it by adding defensive null/type checks across DOM and helper functions, and implementing a full Set polyfill (has, add, delete, clear, forEach) to ensure compatibility without changing the existin…
