Good app thank you for the suggest! I hope they will add also the ability to mark read while scrolling. I’m used to read through Feedme app, but since it isn’t opensource this one could replace it at all!
I use it to follow news updates, blogs, updates of apps that I like, some youtube channels and lemmy/reddit communities.
I’m new to using rss feeds, but it seems to reduce the time to open pages on the browser to check for updates.
For example:
Feed with post titles and content from c/ Word of the Day: lemmy.world/feeds/c/wotd.xml?
Lemmy has built-in rss feeds.
I also use the FdroidUpdate subreddit to follow updates. Is there a direct rss feed to follow?
I checked it out, seems interesting but I still prefer Feeder. Mostly because I couldn’t get Read You to actually show text/images from a page, for instance XKCD.
Have you had issues with entire feeds spontaneously marking themselves unread? I finally uninstalled readyou after fighting with that one for a year - it’s not particularly good UX when the app decides that 80+ posts in a feed are new again and worthy of a notification.
So far, I like what I see. It’s a small application, but I’m trying to figure out how push notifications work. Since I do not have Google Play Services and how often it will check for new feed updates
Getting push notifications working on a vanilla ROM is a very tricky thing. Unless they made a workaround (which requires the app constantly staying in the background that devs don’t like apparently) it will not work properly. It’s not the app’s fault though
So far as I am able to tell, this app does not give me any kind of push notifications at all, even though it’s supposed to. So I might have to ditch it for now.
I do not find any option for push notifications, the app also is not trying to register using microg. I am not sure why it is supposed to give push notifications tbh.
I just had a look at the description to make sure I wasn’t crazy and yes it says right in the thing that article notifications are a thing but it is not registering with unified push and it is not manually checking every x minutes for notifications so I don’t see how it has them.
That’s because Feeder does their OPML file differently. Their OPML file includes Feeder settings. You have to wait for v0.9.13 release that makes it compatible. It’ll be the next release. Current release is v0.9.12
That depends on your use case, I personally really only ever use RSS on my phone. Anyway, as others have mentioned, you can connect the app to FreshRSS for syncing.
Also, feel free to ignore this, but you could probably make your point without being so condescending. Something like “Cool, but the lack of apps across multiple platforms is a deal-breaker for me.” Calling someone’s work “cute, but […] useless” after they provide it for free to the community is kinda rude, especially considering it’s honestly one of the best actively-developped RSS apps for Android.
I just switched some weeks ago from Flym. Flym was my alltime favourite RSS reader, but it is not developed anymore. Read You comes closest to Flym’s minimal design and slowly I am getting used to it.
