So, I’m tentative to announce this project, as the server it’s running on is a bit of a potato which will probably fall over pretty quick if it gains any traction, but…
Introducing RSS Temple!
If you’re interested in a free RSS reader which attempts to mimic some of the more useful features of the big players (Feedly and Google Reader, in particular), including full-text search, hotkey navigation, small footprint interface, and sharing to both Lemmy and Mastodon (among others), I would love if you gave RSS Temple a try.
I’ve been working on this project for ~7 years now, and I alone cannot find any more bugs or usability issues, so I hope it’s ready for the community to see. Any feedback is appreciated!
The code is open at:
https://github.com/murrple-1/rss_temple (server, Python)
https://github.com/murrple-1/rss_temple_ui (landing page and web app, Angular and EleventyJS)
https://github.com/murrple-1/ansible-collection-rss-temple (Ansible scripts to deploy one’s own instance)
One thing that I noticed is that reading items is very difficult because basically as soon as they appear on the screen they are marked as read and become light-grey on white. Either the “read” style needs to be more readable or the marking of read should be deferred until I am done reading the article.
Noted, and I see what you’re saying. The text needs higher contrast in the read state
