For once a good app for news and articles appears, and within a year it is killed off because of “limited market opportunity.”
Urgh. I just HATE the modern internet.
But thanks for the alternatives list. Maybe something will catch on. Feeeed looks really cool.
Yeah, I truly enjoy Feeeed. It’s cool. There was one that a Fedi dev had but unfortunately I don’t think he’s working on it anymore and it’s no longer available
It’s too bad about Artifact shutting down. I jumped on that app as soon as it was publicly available last February and thought it had a lot of potential.
If anyone’s looking for a good FOSS RSS Reader for Mac and iOS I highly recommend NetNewsWire.
I’m trying to get back into using RSS but have noticed that all sites - for example tech news like The Verge - publish a shit ton of content daily nowadays.
How do you use these apps?
I added a few feeds and now have 300+ news every day that I need to sort through and 95% of them do not interest me. That was what was so great with Artifact, it did the sorting and learned my interests.
Are there separate curated feeds (similar to Artifact) to subscribe to or is it possible to filter by interest (keywords) in the RSS apps, like Netnewswire?
I don’t have time or the nerve scrolling through feeds with dozens or hundreds of posts a day, it’s a pretty awful user experience.
Some sites seem to have separate feeds for different themes but that’s also not very flexible.
Thanks.
Unfortunately all but feeed, which is not terrible, are subscription based & therefore banes of existence.
Note, Perplexity is less than objectionable without subscribing.
@dameoutlaw I’m trying to see if Flipboard works, since they joined activitypub. So far back to it after several years I feel Artifact was far better, with simple things such as a best recommendation / curation algorithm, aggregation of comments of several news of same topic and the simplest of them all: the ChatGPT resume of articles. Let’s hope folks from @dot_social solve this.
I used Flipboard back in its early days. I would love to hear about your experience
