I have been thinking of creating a similar app; however I wanted to do a "Sunday paper". This look nice and I like the minimalist design, but I would prefer to have solution that I can self-host.

This would be interesting as a project using the Miniflux API (https://github.com/miniflux/v2). That way it would already use my existing feeds and I don't have a separate "reading tool".

For those looking for something like this but that updates on your own schedule and handles more than just RSS, I built Digest - https://usedigest.com

I created something similar a few years ago. It's been running fine for me and several other people. Its free, too. It's calm too, although it updates as often as 1-5 minutes.

I'd be happy if someone gives it a go and shares some feedback. I'd say it's quite similar to Artemis; however - you can set different priorities to the sources and the relevant topics.

I tried to import the OPML file exported by https://wordpress.com/read/subscriptions but it says "Failed to parse OPML."

Edit: just managed to find the support email. I'll send you the OPML file through it~

I love the idea of a simple, digest-style, mode. Might make some version of this for Instagram. There's nothing so important on Instagram that it can't wait for the next day.

I like the minimalist design. I built a similar daily feed for myself, using GitHub Actions to trigger a daily sync, FeedLand.com for managing subscriptions, and GitHub Pages for publishing. Artemis is much more user friendly.

I initially thought this would be an Instapaper alternative, or maybe a "Reader mode" similar to the one in Safari, but turns out it's a RSS reader? If so, I wouldn't necessarily call it a web reader.

This looks great! Congrats on shipping.

Have you considered open sourcing it? I would rather self-host something like this.

Isn't updating once a day a bit too rare for content heavy websites, like HN? I use online RSS reader just to keep up with all updates when I am not online. With updates once a day I'd probably be using desktop RSS reader app.

Unable to add my blog[1] hosted on Cloudflare. Is it an issue with CF?

Really like this.

Technical question: how are you dealing with feeds blocked by cloudflare protection or captchas?

thanks. I pay for miniflux through pikapods that I can now get rid of, thanks to your free and alternative offering.

Awesome!

For reference, and not implying it's better or worse than your work OP, I've pleasantly used Fraidycat (https://fraidyc.at/) in the past. It's a webextension, so completely local, and also incorporates the idea of having a "calmer" experience: no infinite list of links to check, different update rates, ...

I love your philosophy page, OP ! (https://jamesg.blog/2024/11/30/designing-a-calm-web-reader/)

What's a good place to discover high-quality RSS feeds these days?

I think this is a really interesting area. I wrote a command line took for web reading with some similar motivations. In my case, you queue up the articles to read the next day.
