This is why I went with Newsblur.com, which is open source: https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur
In the worse case I just run my own instance.
- rahimnathwani 9y agoI also subscribe to newsblur. If I ever decide to run my own instance, though, I'm sure that I'll be missing content. Many blogs these only include the N most recent articles in their RSD feed. So if you only start now, you'll be missing the older ones. Is there a non-time-travel solution to this?
- confounded 9y agoNot if it’s already gone. But a non-cloud reader (e.g. Liferea) stores real hard copies for you on disk.
- ece 9y agoYep, liferea has the functionality of tt-rss and other hosted readers. It's not completely bug free, but you can fix them. Not sure why you'd go for a hosted one unless you really wanted mobile reading or something.
- koffiezet 9y agoYup, gladly pay money for newsblur, I only hope that it generates enough revenue to keep supporting it. Running my own instance is an option as a fallback, but I'd rather avoid that.
