Thankfully, as it's a decades-old standard, there are a few great apps that have thoroughly cracked this problem. You don't want to have to deal with weird UI quirks or even really interact with your reader app-it's all about seamlessly mainlining as much high-quality content as possible. Good RSS services have a weirdly challenging job: they have to gather content from loads of different places and display it for you, all while getting out of the way as much as possible. It means I don't have to constantly check and see if Derek Sivers or Tynan has published a new post-it just pops up in my feeds. I follow a few dozen tech sites, but it's also really great for following blogs that only publish a few times a year. For more details on our process, read the full rundown of how we select apps to feature on the Zapier blog.Īs a tech writer, I rely on my RSS app to keep me up to date on what's going on. We're never paid for placement in our articles from any app or for links to any site-we value the trust readers put in us to offer authentic evaluations of the categories and apps we review. We spend dozens of hours researching and testing apps, using each app as it's intended to be used and evaluating it against the criteria we set for the category. ![]() While QuiteRSS resolves the issue I had with RSSOwl I believe that QuiteRSS could be improved (IMO) by adding/changing the following things and was wondering are this possible implementations?: Firstly I would just like to say that I only started using QuiteRSS do to an SSL issue with my previous RSS reader (RSSOwl) and because of this certain feeds weren't working in that software so I decided to look for an alternative and came across QuiteRSS.All of our best apps roundups are written by humans who've spent much of their careers using, testing, and writing about software. (1.) A Feedly Sync - A way for the user to connect QuiteRSS so that if the user reads the feeds on Feedly the next time you start QuiteRSS those feeds will be marked read. (2.) Move News Filter Action - One thing I really liked about RSSOwl is that in the filter setting if an item matched the rule it could move that item to a new area. I think this would be a really added function since it would allow the user to separate the filtered contents from the original feed and make the filtered content more distinguishable from the rest of the content. I know QuiteRSS can add a label & star to a feed item but in my opinion it doesn’t inform them as well as a separate area for that content would. (3.) Only Get Notifications For Items That Match The Filter Rule - Instead of getting notifications for the whole feed or creating two separate filter actions to counteract each other it would be EXTREMLY beneficial to allow QuiteRSS to notify the user only when something matches the filter rule or a complete feed you’ve allowed to notify you. (4.) Don't Close Notification Until The User Presses X - Instead of setting it to the max amount of seconds to stop the notification from disappearing it would be useful to turn off the close notification setting so that it would remain on the scree until the user gets rid of it manually. (5.) Feed Not Responding Notification - A possible setting that the user could turn on if they want to be notified if a feed is not responding. This would be very helpful for people that have lots of feeds inside folders and cant see the little X on the feed icon. (6.) Improved Internal Browser Displaying - This improvement isn't a major thing but it seems that some other RSS readers present the content in their internal browsers a lot cleaner and clearer than QuiteRSS. (7.) Added Share Options - Like the previous improvement I mentioned this isn't a major thing but it would be really nice to have more added share options like Reddit & Pinterest added to the share options.
