Thank you!


Same concept, different implementation. FreshRSS is a PHP app, in my opinion… a little ugly, still super functional of course. I wanted to try to create something with a more modern UX, and try to appeal to not just the tech folks. FreshRSS still supports things I don’t yet, like WebSub, but give me some time to catch up. I have the massive benefit of just starting much later when many awesome libraries and AI exist.
I actually started this API in Go, and it was nearly complete before I started over entirely in Node. And I did that so that it could run in serverless environments. You can of course still run this in Docker Compose, but it’s actually focused on Cloudflare deployments, where you can run this entirely for free.


Demo account is a good idea. ill work on that. Here’s a couple screenshots




Ya. I’m working on that too. And trying to keep in the spirit of not being biased or heavy on algorithms.
My first step - A chrome/firefox extension. This is currently in review on the web store. This exposes RSS feeds on sites you visit to make it easier to subscribe to the places you already visit. This is especially great when you find a great blog on Reddit or Hacker News. https://github.com/TechSquidTV/Tuvix-Tricorder-Extension


😆 . It’s a real problem though. So is prioritization. Algorithms aren’t bad, dark patterns are. The main issue with any algorithm, even if fully open, it, by definition, has to be biased in some way. I’m going to save this problem for much further down the road, but for discovery, I took the first step on that.
Tricorder! https://github.com/TechSquidTV/Tuvix-Tricorder-Extension
I broke out the package that does the feed discovery in tuvix and publish it separately. Now you can use it as a chrome plugin to add a subscribe page to any website. It is currently pending review on the Chrome web store. I haven’t yet submitted to Firefox or others.


While super fair and accurate, I take this as an opportunity to follow much smaller blogs. When I find a good post on Hacker News or stumble upon someone through my research, I now actively make a point to subscribe to their RSS.
TBH my original motive was to find good sources of content to submit to Hacker News… but all the same.


AGPL v3. Take that as you may. I’m *open *to changing it. I just wanted to give the project a chance to thrive without someone just hosting it as a paid app and calling it a day. That makes it so that if anyone does want to create a commercial product from this, they would need to offer up the source. My monetization plans only extend to possibly offering an additional plan on the hosted version to help cover hosting costs (which right now are $10 a month and I am covering that, it may become $30 a month if this gets popular).


I’m sad that it took me a second to get it.
I have been a developer likely longer than you have
If you had a point, it would have been inferred. Instead it reads like an upset user who doesn’t understand how open source works. But please feel free to explain it to me.
This works for your phone and can be triggered externally.
pinchflat I hadn’t seen that one before. No it’s pretty similar to be honest. I am planning on small feature that would make it slightly different but, ya same idea. I do like my UI more 🤷. That was my main issue with most of the existing ones that I had seen, I just didn’t liek the UI. Except for cobalt.tools, but it’s broken.
what do you mean “my users”. its free. its open source. what are you talking about.
exhausting viewpoint. AI is powered by open source.
huh. could have sworn it was in there. Sorry! https://github.com/TechSquidTV/Hermes
We killed it. Good Job Janeway! I’m working on a fix. I thought my last deployment would have fixed it, I’m still looking into it.
Right now you probably notice no new feeds coming in.
tldr; too many RSS feeds, and tbh, it wasn’t that many. I’m working on improving it to deal with the serverless limits on Cloudflare. These issues would not exist on Docker Compose.
