Final: If you want a lifetime license (with no accounts and no subscriptions) for a calm #rss reader on Windows or #linux (~6MB binary), 10+ themes with liveloading of your theme tweaks + ability to make your own, a reader that is capable of reading the feed bundling format .opml and with built-in automatic export of your feeds *back* to .opml to prevent lock-in and LOTS of other nifty bits

Well then, please consider buying Rad Reader! Thank you!

@cblgh looks very nice! I’ll try it once I’m back home. Curious to see how this model works out for you, as someone that is also invested in open sourcing my projects but also wants to eat from time to time :P

Alexander Cobleigh

@bd thank you! 😊 and yes! i had that & you in mind when i was asking you questions about Stepper's model in venice! :>

we both gotta have bread/paella money amirite

@cblgh Hi there, this is super great! I purchased this even though I cannot run it on my Mac, because I think we need more folks using RSS and that only happens if there are better reader options! Keep up the awesome work!

Alexander Cobleigh

@krusynth wow thank you so much bill! i feel honoured and v v grateful🙇

Alexander Cobleigh

@krusynth and pardon the mac situation! i have no ability to test it out and lack the dev account + setup needed so i felt it was best to focus on my two main platforms

still—thank you so much!!

Bill Hunt

@cblgh No worries, I know that the Mac ecosystem is a Whole Thing. (I'm running an outdated version of the OS or I'd volunteer to test for you!)

Nora, tech aspect

@cblgh thank *you*!! I've been looking for something like this for *ages*

Alexander Cobleigh

@noracodes happy to hear i am in great company :> same here really, my old fraidycat install was perma-borked with no easy way of exporting feeds and it made me really sad

Arch :arch:

@cblgh This looks really cool. My one request would be some sort of support for some common RSS feed sync servers like FreshRSS, but I could honestly live without that because of the OPML importing/exporting.

Great work, will consider picking this up :3

Alexander Cobleigh

@arch thank you arch! i will look into the feed sync servers you mention :)

@cblgh@merveilles.town does it handle html and css well? I use those in my personal feed sometimes and would love another tool to recommend
Alexander Cobleigh

@rubymayvalentine well basically yes! it only shows the titles of posts and offloads the reading experience to where people will be reading / annotating (the browser of their choice)

so the ux is you click a title that you want to read and it opens a tab (or the browser) for the associated post

@cblgh@merveilles.town ah okay makes sense!
