This question is how new apps are born
post
Same reason that there isn't a product that combines a George Foreman Grill and a tablesaw.
Probably because those are 2 different things?
Dunno if it is what you are looking for, but there is Linkwarden. It is primarily a bookmark/archiver (Saves a copy of the page), however, it has the ability to subscribe to feeds and will automatically bookmark anything in that feed.
How would that work exactly? I bookmark many things that are not feeds.
I use Karakeep, which is a bookmark manager with an RSS feed option, but you need to add some auto tags or your feed will just become a mess - it saves ALL the links from RSS feeds you add.
Probably not an answer you'd like to see: I am using FeedFlow which supports bookmarking articles, having FreshRSS as the source of truth.
Do you simply want to bookmark posts you discover via RSS or do you wanna be able to add arbitrary links to it too?
Surely that's just FreshRSS with a plugin like Wallabag or Readeck. I use FreshRSS and Readeck for precisely this. One-click bookmarking (and archiving of the page, too).
FreshRSS + Readeck
You could run them in parallel, or fork both and smush em together
@lIlIlIlIlIlIl Do they work in sync? Like if I save something in FreshRss it shows up in Readeck?
Of course not, but you could of course fork both projects and kludge them together. FreshRSS is the feed provider, you could probably find an RSS client that saves links.
There was. TTRSS had both of these functionalities in its app. There was a 'Read Later' shortcut that put the article you wanted to save into the app via an Android shortcut. It was beautiful. The owner was a famously disgruntled (read: asshole) coder who finally gave the app up. The new coder does not include this functionality the revamped app.
I’m using Readwise Reader for years now and it’s the only service deserves it’s subscription for me. It’s not self hosted tho.
Can someone please explain RSS to me? I just don't get it and I've been using Firefox since it was Netscape Navigator 2.0
Explain how it works or what it is?
It's just a feed you can follow (think of following someone on IG or twitter). You'll get notified about the new content on that feed.
You can subscribe to all the feeds that are interesting to you and now you have a place to read the all and get notified when something new is out.
I don't have ig or teitter
Imagine you had a feed like Lemmy's home feed, where things from the places you follow show up in a single feed you can look through and open the items you want to read.
Sites used to publish an RSS feed of everything they posted. GReader was the king like 10 (omfg, 20?) years ago. They they fucking killed it like they do with all their good, non-mail/YouTube projects.
See every update from the websites you want updates from without trusting an algorithm to surface them to you.
Someone can publish a list of updates in a computer-friendly XML format at a given URL.
An RSS client polls it periodically for updates, maybe notifies a the client's user when new updates show up, tracks which they've viewed.
Some people use it to provide notifications when their blog has new entries. Some to notify about new podcast episodes. I've seen it used to provide notifications of new BitTorrents being started on a tracker.
Do you mean bookmarking web pages? Vivaldi browser has rss, email and the usual bookmarking functions.
@patthecat @selfhosted no one gonna mention that a freshrss contributor is doing exactly that ?github.com/flusio/Flus
@patthecat @selfhosted miniflux has a save button you can integrate with a lot of other apps. I’m using it with readeck.
Freshhrss with a configured share to a bookmark service like linkding? Is that what you are looking for?
I use Reeder (https://reederapp.com/) with FreshRSS (https://freshrss.org/), and there is a read-it-later option. Here I can add URLs from the browser and articles from the reader. This works quite well also as some sort of bookmarking. I’ve used bookmarks mostly as a read-it-later tool. 😅
