On November 1st 2025 I’m going to dismantle the entirety of infrastructure that powers tt-rss.org, cgit, this forum, and other related sites. The reasons for this are many but the tl;dr is that I no longer find it fun to maintain public-facing anything, be it open source projects or websites. As for tt-rss specifically, it has been ‘done’ for years now and the “let’s bump base PHP version and fix breakages” routine is not engaging in the slightest. You have a month to mirror any interesting re...

    I have copied the latest git revision c67b943aa894b90103c4752ac430958886b996b2 from https://gitlab.tt-rss.org/tt-rss/tt-rss to my gitea instance which is mirrored to https://gitlab.com/nodiscc/tt-rss and https://github.com/nodiscc/tt-rss.

    I don’t intend to make changes or bugfixes (it’s working fine), but I will try to keep it compatible with the PHP version in Debian stable, since I’ve been using it for years and would really like to keep doing so.

      I like FreshRSS - I also have some readers that connect to my instance, like FluentReader that provides a better full article view, but I mostly use FreshRSS directly these days.

        Looks like it supports a wide range of readers with two different API .

        FreshRSS supports access from mobile / native apps for Linux, Android, iOS, Windows and macOS, via two distinct APIs: Google Reader API (best), and Fever API (limited features, less efficient, less safe).

      Yeah, it’s great, fast, works with lots of local clients and has lots of plug ins for whatever esoteric need you might have. I can fly through the days articles very quickly with a handful of key presses.

      If you already have a Nextcloud instance I can recommend the “App” called News. There is an official android app that works well.

    i don’t get why people use web services for rss, it can be done completely clientside, that’s… kind of the whole point of rss…

      No, it isn’t the whole point. The point is to curate our own news. And a separate question is how to browse the results. If you use two devices, you might want a server side solution. Maybe. There are many reasonable setups.

      You could want to have multiple clients in sync.

      Also a web service could be fetching 24/7 and perform classification algorithms before serving to the client that will only connect a few times a day.

      In my case (not necessarily your case, of course), the cheapest selling-point has become that I already have a browser open for almost everything else, so that’s one less thing to install and check in on. But it’s also easier to keep up to date reading when individual computers have problems and usually has a nicer API for scripting, if you need that sort of thing.

    I no longer find it fun to maintain public-facing anything

    I think the kids would say: “Mood.”
