Configure-ability. I must be able to select fonts, colors, etc.

Plus, I used kde's one before, and quiterss was the closest one to that.

Thanks,

Hi,

I use liferea for many years now and I'm pretty happy. Doesn't sync to
multiple machines though but I read RSS news only on my main laptop.

I like how it's very straightforward and locally collects a configurable
history of each feed and allows to structure them hierarchically into
folders - however, many others offer similar features as well.

Best Regards
Felix

I like reading my feeds in the browser. So an add-on fits my use case
perfectly.

TinyTinyRSS on a virtual server and a web browser.

Versatility: only a web browser is required, so no additional software
is needed on any of my (many) devices, but I do use the Android app on
my phone just for a better UX.

TT-RSS also has a long list of available plugins to improve the support
for various sites or customize the experience.

Snownews: net-news/snownews [1]

With the recent decision on gentoo-dev to switch the default  target  to  Python
3.7, many packages stuck on Python 3.6 support are  being  masked  for  removal.
Hence,  I've  been  trying  to  avoid  Python  packages  like  the  plague  when
alternatives are available.  Snownews is written in C and Perl (quite a few Perl
dependencies are required, but they're all tiny) and  claims  to  run  any  UNIX
system (which is likely true).

The activity on the GitHub  repository  has  been  quiet  recently,  but  in  my
experience it is remarkably stable and encapsulates everything an R.S.S.\ reader
should.

It is also a terminal application with  customisable  keybindings,  which  is  a
'must' for me.  Unfortunately, it's  only  available  on  amd64,  x86,  and  ppc
architectures; no A.R.M.\ support in portage.

Hi,


 1. what rss feed reader do you use?


  Primary:  rss2email
Secondary:  Thunderbird


 2. what are your theoretical principles that
guided you to choose the rss feed that you

I want to read things on multiple devices, and IMAP based email does 
extremely well at that.


I have select few things that I don't run through rss2email that I just 
read via Thunderbird's RSS support.

[gentoo-user] best rss reader?

2020-04-19 Thread Caveman Al Toraboran
hi - could everyone share his rss reading setup?

i have newsboat, but it got masked.  so i'm now
starting to look around again.

i'm open minded and welling to question
fundamentals in the theory of the optimality of
rss feed readers.

so if you have some principles/theories about what
makes an rss feed optimum, please share these too,
as it might help me think in a better way in my
quest to find the best rss feed reader.
