how are people using rss these days? i never found a good use for it.
Every single open source and linux related blog has an RSS feed. A reader groups all those in a single “inbox”, I save / share what I find interesting. It’s an awesome way to condense news.
Despite not being easy to find, most news sites still have RSS feeds. They are great for just getting the news from sources I trust instead of big tech algorithm recommend blogspam. It is also possible to get RSS feeds from subreddits and Mastodon.
Pains me to no end that the only somewhat decent local RSS reader available for desktop nowadays is Thunderbird. All I want is a simple, no-frills attached local RSS reader that doesn’t make me run a whole server service just to fetch a feed.
Why is it that stuff written in Go always has to tell you that it is written in Go? As a user I don’t choose apps based on the language they’re written in? (Serious question.)
Whenever you have applications were implementations are plentiful the only real differentiation you can do without creating a different user experience is the technologies used to develop it. The importance of which in people’s perspective is several things, mostly supporting technologies they like and want to see grow and possibly being skilled in the underlying technologies to actually contribute back.
Certain technologies are also just hot garbage, I swear to God if I have to install another electron app for some messaging platform I will shit myself.
I can feel you in Last Part: Element, Discord, Revolt and Signal. Only TG desktop is a non-electron messaging app which I use.
Some user see Rust or Go as Faster Languages. That’s all. Also, I don’t have anything else to add in Title xD.
*Safer languages
Also both produce single binaries (as opposed to interpreted languages like php, python, js), which is so much easier to deal with for maintenance.

This is the reason for me.
Actually… I do :/ Even though I have no idea of the programing realm, most of my self-hosted service via docker written in Go tend to be more “reliable”, faster, easy to use?
I’m always happy to self-host somthing written in golang. But I do agree, its the new age “I use arch BTW” meme for programing language !
When I use open source software, I’ll usually attempt to fix any small bugs I run into. I prefer to use an app made in a language I’m more familiar with to make this easier.
I’m searching for one with multiple users and ldap, but that doesn’t seem to exist
I don’t use multiple users or ldap, but miniflux supports many users. And based on this pull request it seems to have the necessary interface for ldap?

I enjoy and recommend miniflux for rss reading. I have used it for a long time now together with flux news android app. I also use save integration with wallabag sometimes.
Why can’t people include just a few screenshots of their app…
Yup. That alone is enough for me to just ignore a software and keep moving.
How does it compare to something like FreshRSS? Does it provide any kind of standard API? Do android RSS apps that work with hosted RSS work with this?
