Show HN: Dfeed – a feed reader you can use without an account
- CyberShadow 5y agoNot to be confused with https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed (admittedly poorly named) :)
- amadeuspagel 5y agoSorry :) I choose the name dfeed because d and f are right next to each other on the keyboard, so it's easy to type.
- mhh__ 5y agoAnd there was me excited to see your work on the frontpage!
- 2Gkashmiri 5y agoplease add a firefox addon
- amadeuspagel 5y agoI've just submitted one, but it can take up to 24 hours to approve.
- 2Gkashmiri 5y agook that is great to know... unless developers like you don't create a moat around chrome , "best works on only chrome" will continue as this forces people, with even a single tool at a time to stick to chrome. good job but your website was failing earlier ;-)
- ms123 5y agoLove the simplicity! Congrats! What would it take to turn it into a stand-alone html file that could be "double clicked" and used as an application? It almost seems to work, but I wasn't able to add new feeds.
- amadeuspagel 5y agoI don't think that would work well, because most feeds block CORS requests (or rather, they don't explicitly allow CORS requests) and you would have to wait for the last request to finish every time.
- ms123 5y agoThat makes sense!
- m4r35n357 5y agoEr, Thunderbird?
- fiatjaf 5y agoAwesome! I wonder why no one has done this before. Added it to https://github.com/fiatjaf/awesome-loginless https://github.com/fiatjaf/awesome-loginless
- derekzhouzhen 5y agoWith all due respect to dfeed, it (free RSS reader in the browser) has been done before. Here is my show HN thread a couple of months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28730630 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28730630
- finite_jest 5y agoVery cool hardcore minimalist aesthetic! Do you use it yourself for reading your feeds?
- amadeuspagel 5y agoOf course I use it myself.
- derekzhouzhen 5y agoNice. On Firefox it is a little confusing because nothing happen unless you reload the browser. Also wrt. CORS, I think the best way in your case is probably to use a greasemonkey script. I documented several ways to bypass the CORS in here: https://github.com/derek-zhou/airss https://github.com/derek-zhou/airss It is a similar project as yours.
- vivganes 5y agoSimple and sweet! One feedback though: In the "Examples" page, I was expecting to see the websites created using your CMS. However, I see a minimal documentation of markdown. This may be suprising for any developer.
- amadeuspagel 5y agoI think you're commenting on the wrong Show HN here :)
