shame you can't get the binaries from F-Droid, or even directly from Github.

If you're in the market for an Android RSS app, I've been using ReadYou recently and I'm very pleased with it. Available both from GitHub and F-Droid.

I use Nextcloud for my RSS needs, so it's mostly just the default app from Nextcloud for me so far. I've had issues with ReadYou not recognizing a bunch of feeds when I tried to add more sources in the past, and when you straight up paste a website link, it wouldn't find existing feeds.

Like the other person who replied to me, I just use it as a frontend for FreshRSS and it works fine for that. But now you kinda have me wondering why I never bothered checking out Nextcloud's RSS, how do you like it?

I have it and its great

The only thing that's preventing me from use ReadYou is that it's still missing "Older first" reading order (and that's why I'm using Feeder).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Fair enough! Feeder is good too, and what I used before ReadYou. I usually just go to my unread articles, scroll all the down to the bottom and then scroll up from there.

Thanks for the link! I think it'll replace Feeder for me

Have they added support for FreshRSS ?

Last time I checked they said they did, but they didn't.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

I tried ReadYou. Looks fine at first glance, however I removed it after few days. Terrible UX. There are so many small annoying things that I even did not report them to the developer as I usually do.

Still looking for a replacement to Flym.

Yeah they should put the binaries under release. But I think they didn't found a way to automate release with KMM.

Is it local? No freshess or ttrss server sync?
