A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Miniflux + News App (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by conrad82@lemmy.world to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

I started using miniflux a while back, and enjoy it. Recently I also gave News app on F-droid a try, and the combination of the two is one of the best news reading experiences I've had.

Miniflux: https://miniflux.app/

News app: https://github.com/bubelov/news

Just wanted to share!

EDIT: Based on comment from @refreeze@lemmy.world , I am now mostly using Flux News https://github.com/KevinCFechtel/FluxNews . But I could go either way

It works OK from the web page, but scrolling to the next item was a bit wonky for me. Using the swipe mode mis-fired when I was horisontally scrolling code. And double tapping didn't always work.

The UX feels smoother in News. You also get thumbnail images. And you can open the link to the source directly, which I prefer for some of my feeds. For me, the experience is smoother.
