A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Since you've used both, what are your feelings on FreshRSS vs. tt-rss?

Around the death of google reader, I set up a tt-rss instance, imported all my saved stuff, and I've been using it continuously since (I'm technically in an unsupported configuration because I set it up long before docker became the preferred then only supported configuration, but it just keeps ticking installed like a normal piece of software on a rented VM).
I'm generally super pleased, and it's my primary mode of content consumption via browser + Android App, and I use the "note" and "share with note" features pretty extensively to plumb to some other folks with similar setups.

Fox (the main tt-rss dev) is clearly an asshole, and there are some geopolitical complications because he's a Russian national, but he's made an excellent focused piece of software. I've considered looking seriously in to FreshRSS, but have a lot of inertia and at a glance it looks like it's missing a few features.

Check out miniflux. It works well and is VERY simple. Actively developed too.

When last I looked miniflux wasn't quite as featured a solution as I'm looking for (I keep a lot of notes and such embedded in my DB), but it is pleasingly simple.

Yeah it definately doesn’t have that.

The only thing I miss from it, personally, is the ability to delete anything older than x days.

I routinely have to manually invert the sort preference and kick the page size up really high to clean out my feeds if I have a few days where I can’t read news.
