Ask HN: How do you use RSS?
I find Feedly and all those apps too bloated. Is there just a minimal plaintext site (in an HN style) where I can get links to my subscriptions in a list?
- kilodeca 5y agoLook into Open-source ones.
- kennethko 5y agoYou may want to look at Miniflux[0] to see if that fits your needs. There's a paid hosting option, but it's also straightforward to deploy on a VPS or your localhost. Alternatively, you could also look at having yet another app like Reeder[1] that syncs to Feedly, FreshRSS, Miniflux, etc. while helping to clean up the browsing and reading experience.

- fsiefken 5y agosfeed command line https://codemadness.org/sfeed-simple-feed-parser.html https://codemadness.org/sfeed-simple-feed-parser.html it can output to gopher, twtxt, mbox and html. gemini export would be nice so I can do everything in gemini. you can't really get more minimal I didn't know about twtxt, it's awesome.
- mastrsushi 5y agoCan Sfeed run entirely in a browser? I should of said my goal is to be able to run this on my iPhone without an app. I was thinking of using GitHub pages as a host.
- fsiefken 5y agoIf you can somehow run it through github actions and output to styled html see: https://codemadness.org/downloads/sfeed/html/feeds.html https://codemadness.org/downloads/sfeed/html/feeds.html not sure if it would fit on the screen. alternatively you could export to gopher put he file/files on a gopher server and read in the gopher client app on ios https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gopher-client/id1235310088 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gopher-client/id1235310088
