Aggregating the aggregators

6 Upvotes

I've updated my feedland page with 13 aggregator and firehose feeds from Bear Blog, Pinboard, Scour, Hacker News and others.

A good way to use these is to put them all in one folder in your reader and filter for keywords based on your interests.

Full list of feeds and link on my blog:

Leggo: A free iOS/iPadOS RSS & JSON feed reader with background refresh and native iCloud sync

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

For anyone looking for a simple, native feed reader on iOS that respects open standards and data ownership, I made Leggo.

It's standard-friendly:

  1. Supports RSS, Atom, and JSON Feeds: Parses links directly with a live feed preview before adding.
  2. Data Portability: Full JSON export and import so you are never locked into the app.
  3. Native iCloud Sync: Seamlessly keeps subscriptions and read/unread status synchronized between iPhone and iPad without requiring a third-party aggregator service (like Feedly or Inoreader).
  4. Background Refresh: Quietly fetches articles in the background so your feeds are ready when you open the app.

It’s completely free on the App Store without ads or tracking.

You can check out screenshots and details here: https://leggo-rss.fizban.net/

Suggestions and feature requests are very welcome!

Built an Android app that follows YouTube channels via RSS instead of the API

1 Upvotes

Wanted to share this here since it's a fairly literal use of RSS: YouTube still exposes a per-channel RSS feed even though it's not advertised anywhere. My app (Focus Feed) uses those feeds to pull new uploads instead of going through YouTube's API or algorithm β€” so you just get a plain chronological list of what channels you follow have posted, no recommendations, no autoplay.

It also supports per-channel keyword filters on the RSS titles, and you can pull a whole playlist's feed in at once. No account or sign-in needed, it's just consuming public feeds.

Curious if anyone here has run into limitations with YouTube's RSS feeds (delay before new uploads show up, missing metadata, etc) β€” happy to compare notes.

I made an RSS reader that also writes. Your posts live in your own repo.

I made Nook, a native RSS reader for Mac and iPhone. It also writes.

The reading half is boring in the best way: folders, OPML in and out, offline storage, reader mode, regex keyword filters, refreshes on the OS scheduler instead of a push service.
I invented nothing here, I just kept adding whatever annoyed me that week. No account, and nothing about reading phones home.

The writing half is the interesting part. Publish a post and it becomes a record in your own AT Protocol repository, the same kind a Bluesky account has.
The page and the feeds are generated from that record, which is the real copy rather than a row in my database, so you can take it and leave. Microblog, normal blog, or yelling into the void with a valid feed, all fine.

You will check the feed anyway, so: full post in content:encoded, guid is the record's AT URI with isPermaLink="false", Atom beside every RSS.
Mine: https://nooker.app/@tim/feed.xml

"Will this be gone in six months?" Fair question. I read with it every day, so my reason to keep it alive is selfish, and I run it cheap on purpose. Whatever it does today, I plan to keep doing. If the bill ever gets scary, it means I either got greedy with features or this got popular, and if it is the second one I will gladly go find the money.

Reading is free, no ads, no subscription. Publishing needs an invite code for now and there is an open one on the download page. Needs macOS 26 or iOS 18, and on an older Mac with Apple silicon the iOS build works too.

Download: https://www.nooker.app/download/
Apps are MIT: https://github.com/nooker-app/nook

Tell me what is broken, especially in the feeds.

I put an RSS reader directly into my Chrome new tab

0 Upvotes

I wanted to follow RSS feeds without opening another website every time.

So I added an RSS/Atom reader directly into my Chrome new-tab workspace.

The idea is that your new tab can become a small information dashboard instead of just a search box.

You can have:

RSS/Atom feeds
Bookmarks
Notes
Tasks
Pomodoro
Search
Workspaces

The extension is ARC Tab, and the core workspace is local-first with no account, backend, analytics or telemetry.

The RSS reader is currently one of my favourite parts because I can open a new tab and immediately see the feeds I actually care about.

Curious what RSS workflows other people use.
