![]() NetNewsWire, probably due to its current beta status, had a slightly more frustrating onboarding process. Upon launching the application, I selected "freshRSS" for the location of my feeds:Įntering my URL, username, and password worked exactly as expected. This can be done by going to the Authentication settings, then clicking Allow API access (required for mobile apps), followed by Submit.įeedReader setup was also quite simple. The only tricky thing on the server side was ensuring the API was accessible. I ran into a few nags along the way, so here's a guide to how I set it up: -Īfter adding on some Traefik labels, I was a simple docker-compose up -d away from a full FreshRSS instance. ![]() However, these are minor issues given that I finally have a centralized location for all of my YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, PeerTube, Mastadon, podcast, and blog content. I must expose my FreshRSS instance to the internet, as, in order to allow clients to access it, I can't put it behind Authelia until I successfully manage to get my own VPN set up in the way I want. FreshRSS is written in PHP, which my strongly-typed Rust-loving self finds unsettling. FeedReader opens links in its native browser instead of my system browser, and I'm yet to find a way to avoid that without simply copying the URLs.

As far as I'm aware, this is the first iOS application to support FreshRSS. Why? Turns out, NetNewsWire 6.0 is adding support for FreshRSS. I came upon this when, earlier today, my friend sent me a link to the NetNewsWire TestFlight beta.

I am slightly ashamed of this as someone in favor of the open and decentralized web, I gave in to the invasive and harmful platforms.Īs of today, that is no more. It just became too inconvenient compared to directly visiting a small handful of centralized websites like HackerNews, Reddit, and YouTube, directly leading to me losing track of smaller and independent creators.
