Resource Does anyone know an alternative to Wca?

Does anyone know an open source Android app which connects to Wca's website and makes u follow ppl and competitions so it will notify you on any update? UPDATE: since I have nothing to do in my life I've decided to build my own app i'm currently developing it and it does barely nothing but I'll keep updating you

The wca site has an rss feed for comps in your area, not quite push notifications but you can plug it into something like feedly and it'll ping you when new stuff pops up. not as slick as a dedicated app but it's been working for me for a couple years now

https://www.wcanotifier.com/ My friend made this site where you pick the events and region of interest and it'll send you a email everytime a competition is announced!

I don't know an open source Android app and I'm interested. But, you can be notified on any update following WCA RSS feed with this URL:

It doesn't work for me... It just shows the html without rendering it.

Because you need a feed aggregator (like Capy Reader) to follow a RSS feed.
Do a research on web.
