No tt-rss? Weird.
tt-rss was discontinued a few days ago: https://community.tt-rss.org/t/the-end-of-tt-rss-org/7164
It still lives as a fork: https://github.com/tt-rss/tt-rss/wiki

#142I use the old Reeder still (don’t care for the new one at all, it’s pretty crappy and the subscription has zero value for me), and NetNewsWire is still not as slick on iOS, but the piece is largely on point.

#143I'll just shill my own feed reader here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/brook-feed-re... It currently only runs in Firefox but if anyone is interested, I'll Port it to Chrome since it now supports a sidebar interface. I made this because I wanted to have feeds show up where I read them, in the browser, and I wanted it on my own device so nobody else controls it. No hosting, no payment, just a simple t…
FYI, it's quite easy to support both Firefox and chrome (both mv2 and mv3, even) in a single extension codebase.

Could it also be ported as a VSCode extension?

#145I still miss Google Reader. I loved the social aspects, where I could repost my favorite articles (with comments about them), and friends could easily subscribe to my feed and comment on my shares. It was a really great social network for sharing blog posts and articles. I credit the demise of Google Reader with a lot of the downfall of the Old Web. Since then, social sharing platforms are motivated to keep you on th…
Decentralized social RSS feed / article recommendations could totally happen if the community came up with a standard way to implement it.
Re-posting / paraphrasing a comment I made in a discussion about decentralized recommendation algorithms for RSS feed content:
People used to post a "blogroll" (and sometimes an OPML file) to their personal blogs showing the feeds they followed. That was one way to do decentralized recommendations, albeit manually since there was no well-known URL convention for publishing OPML files. If there was a well-known URL convention for publishing OPML files a client could build a recommendation graph.
OMPL files in well-known locations would be neat but would only provide feed-level recommendation. Article-level recommendation would be cooler.
One of the various federated/decentralized/whatever-Bluesky-is "modern" re-implementations of Twitter/NNTP could be used to drive article-level recommendations. My feed reader could emit machine-readable recommendation posts based on ratings I give while browsing articles. My feed reader could consume these recommendations from others, and then lots of fun could be had weighting recommendations based on social graph, algorithmic summary of the article body, trustworthiness of the poster, friend-of-friend status, etc.
I thought about some of this stuff back in '05 when I tried to contribute to ttrss. The maintainer didn't have much interest so I dropped it. I've thought about it periodically but never had the initiative to do anything with it.

#146I was surprised not to see the one I use daily, Brief. Maybe it's not on Chrome or something, but it hasn't failed me in like decades.

Re: NNTP
Feedbase lets you add RSS/Atom feeds so you can read them with your favourite newsreader:

#148Anyone used snarfer back in the day? I loved it,was native and light, no bloat.

Also on the old Reeder (v5), with a local FreshRSS as the back-end. It's fantastic on Mac, iOS and iPadOS, and I have no desire to move to the new Reeder or any alternative.

#150Sad that my feed reader browser extension is not on the list. It is quite feature complete:
The author says they only found one browser extension that was a feedreader, that is not the case. So I'm posting here in case anyone else is looking for that type of solution.
