Bravo Voyager! 🔥

It's always good to see new development in the Android RSS sphere. A feature list and roadmap would greatly assist people with evaluating whether it's ready to trial. More screenshots would also benefit. As a FeedBin user, I'm very glad support is there, but are other aggregators planned? FeedBin, sadly, is a small player in a big field.

I'd do something with the name... way too easy to read it as "Crappy Reader" when you're scanning a list of search options. Even here, while scrolling my feed, I saw this as 'oh, someone's had a crappy experience with their RSS reader, I wonder which one it was.' Is it going up on Google Play anytime soon?

"Smallish" isn't a big selling point for me. A wildly competent parser would the big game changer in RSS development. It also tends to become the Achilles heel of reader developments. Someday, someone will bake in a fast Firefox custom tabs implementation directly in their reader with easily selectable ad blocking options and without needing Firefox to be installed (essentially making Firefox their parser). Then they'll be cooking with butter. They also won't have to constantly tweak their own parsers or call out to external programs. Thoughts in my head.

I'm gonna keep watch and see where this project goes. 🙂

This is the way.

Thereby surrendering your anonymity and negating any reason to use the app over mainstream alternatives.

Simple answer to the question so far as I can see: in order to connect with someone, you have to video conference with them and show them a code. So the anonymity is only as anonymous as the video conference you use to do that. All of the benefits it claims are merely an illusion.

This is the best one. There's an in-app purchase to remove ads. You're just playing yourself for high score. Great time-waster.

Instagram Lite is an okay alternative to the bigger, main client and since it's official, it won't get you banned. It's not available in most markets, but sideloading from APKMirror works very well.

The best I've found/used.

.57 has completely borked swipe gestures. Swiping left upvotes, right bookmarks. There's nothing in the settings that I can see to fix this.

Firefox on Android has supported the normal add-ons since December. The list is at 678 extensions as I'm typing this.

I'd be happy just to have an app that would let me create a metacommunity of my own (ie: showing me an "Android" community (folder) that I could stick [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] into).

Ultimately, there's some humour in how fixing this problem in 2024 was actually done 30 years ago when we had newsgroups. comp.technology.android would have solved all of this.

I've been a believer since Netscape 3 and am a happy user on my desktops, phone, and tablets. I struggle to imagine a world without extensions on mobile. Firefox is also my password manager of choice, offering way more usability than any of the other options with at least the same level of security (AES-256 and 10,000 rounds of PBKDF2). I hope to never have to consider a move and don't foresee ZDNet's predicted death. 2.2% still apparently equates to almost $600M of revenue. That'll keep the train running for quite a while. Still, I wish Mozilla listened better. Getting rid of XUL extensions was a self-inflected gunshot wound and not getting the full extension list to mobile for 2 years was just asking people to leave.
