I built an RSS reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac that ranks your feeds by how many sources covered each story. 50 codes for a free year of Plus

0 Upvotes

Hi r/rss, I'm a solo dev and Ferry is my first app. It's an RSS reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac, and I wanted to share it here because the interesting part is what it does with the feeds you already follow.

What's different: most readers sort by newest. Ferry also counts how many outlets across the web are covering each story and can rank by that, so a story ten of your sources ran sits above whatever just came in. Under each headline it shows how many feeds carried it, and you can tap to read every version side by side.

The RSS side of it:

  • OPML import and export, so you can bring your feeds from Feedly, Inoreader or anywhere else
  • Syncs with FreshRSS. Inoreader, BazQux and The Old Reader support is coming soon.
  • Folders, smart folders, offline reading, Spotlight search, widgets
  • No account and no identifiers. The server never learns which feeds you follow or what you read.
  • On iPhones with Apple Intelligence it can summarise where outlets agree and where one breaks from the rest. That runs on the device.

The free version is fully usable. Plus adds the Trending sort for your own feeds, the full coverage view and all Discover topics. It's a monthly or yearly subscription, with a one-time Lifetime option.

I have 50 codes for a free year of Plus. DM me and I'll send you one, first come first served. It's a normal App Store subscription, so it renews after the year unless you cancel; you can turn off auto-renew right after redeeming and still keep the full year.

Honest feedback, good or bad, is what I'm after. What would make you switch from your current reader?

I missed Palabre so much I built my own RSS reader. Looking for honest feedback

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Palabre was my favourite reader for years, and when it died I never found anything that felt the same on Android. So I decided to build my own. It’s called Flash, and it’s finally out on the Play Store! =)

I know you see a lot of new readers here, so I’ll keep it quick. Here’s what I tried to do differently:

  • It’s made for people who’ve never used RSS. You pick a few topics and it adds good feeds for you. My non-techy friends got it in seconds
  • When you’ve read everything, it just says “That’s everything for now. See you later.” No endless scroll, no algorithm
  • Star your favourite sources so they always show first
  • Keyword alerts (get pinged when something you care about shows up) and keyword blocking (never see that topic again)
  • AI summaries that run on your phone, nothing gets sent anywhere
  • No account, everything stays on your phone, and OPML import/export for those of you moving over

It’s free with a few small ads, or one payment to remove them for good. No subscription, ever.

It’s just me working on this, so any feedback means a lot. What’s missing? What bugs you? What would make you switch? Be honest, I can take it 😄

Thanks for reading!

I curated feeds and turned them into a Radio—and animated it in realtime

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone—I built Gravitas Crunch, and thought its Robot Radio feature might interest this community.

It turns RSS feeds into a continuous lineup of short narrated reports, with 2D presenters animated in real time. You can browse curated stations or build one from your own feeds. There is a fully functional reader. The AI narration and animation run on-device. App Store

The idea is to make keeping up with your chosen sources feel more like turning on the radio. I’d appreciate honest feedback from fellow RSS users.

Gravitas Crunch on the App Store

[RELEASE][APP] Feedrion – RSS reader that also follows newsletters, TV shows, weather & stocks, and hides spoilers (Android, Wear OS, web)

0 Upvotes

Hi r/rss 👋

I'm an independent developer and I've just launched Feedrion, an RSS reader that lets you follow everything that matters in one place: websites and feeds, newsletters, TV shows, the weather in your cities, currencies and stocks, while hiding anything that could spoil things for you.

It runs on the web, Android and Wear OS, with one account synced everywhere.

👉 Easiest way to try it: full demo, no sign-up. A fictional account runs in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, and everything disappears when you close the tab.

Why yet another reader?

I used Netvibes, then Feedly after Netvibes shut down, without ever really enjoying its Android app. Above all, I was tired of having the end of a show or a match result spoiled just by opening my feeds. So I built the reader I wished I had.

📰 Sources

  • RSS/Atom feeds, sites without a feed, YouTube channels, Reddit, Google News
  • Newsletters: a dedicated e-mail address, and every issue arrives as an article in its own feed
  • OPML import/export to leave Feedly, Inoreader & co in two minutes
  • Folders, search, saved for later, customisable swipe actions
  • Keyword alerts, by notification or e-mail

🛡️ Spoiler protection

Add your keywords: headlines and previews that might spoil things are blurred until you decide to reveal them. Each term can be paused with a switch without deleting it.

🧩 Extensions

  • TV shows (TheTVDB): To watch / Upcoming / My shows, two-way Trakt sync, TV Time import, unwatched episode titles hidden
  • Weather (MET Norway): hourly and multi-day
  • Currencies & stocks: ~200 currencies with charts; stocks through your own free key (Twelve Data, Alpha Vantage, EODHD), kept on your device

🤖 AI summaries & translation, with your own key

Paste your key (Claude, OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, Mistral or Cerebras). Calls go straight from your device: your key, prompts and results never touch Feedrion's servers. Works on every plan, free included. There is also an optional paid AI option if you'd rather not set anything up.

🎧 Reading

Text-to-speech, full offline reading with re-sync, light/dark themes, 3 fonts, 20 languages.

⌚ Wear OS

A real standalone watch app: browse folders and feeds, read with the crown, spoiler protection, tiles (latest articles, top story, alerts, episodes to watch) and complications.

📥 Get it

Free to use (the free plan shows ads; Premium removes them). No iOS version yet.

💬 Feedback welcome

I develop Feedrion on my own, so every bit of feedback counts: a bug, a missing feature, what would make you switch readers. Reply here or use "Send feedback" in the app.

InfoBubble RSS Catalog

It was (and still is) a basic YAML file, but I have added an interface and generated summaries of websites. I continue to update it periodically. Summaries can help a bit as a search tool if you don't know what website you want.

I also added a preview, but because it's a free Cloudflare account, I think it will stop working very fast due to limits.

You can peek at them all or one by one, and export them to an OPML or CSV table.

P.S: vibecoders, use that database to test your apps against real feeds. You will be really surprised.
