fraidycat

Fraidycat looks good, though it's more like a client than a self-hosted service. I especially like that it can follow / aggregate a bunch of different types of sources. https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat

Wonder what's are the differences from https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub and https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat I guess projects might have different goals in mind, but IMO would be nice to share the scrapers among the projects

I will suggest using Fraidycat. https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat

If you're interested in furthering RSS (and Atom, JSON Feed) - one way to help this along is to continue extending it to bring it modern. For instance, I've documented an extension for adding temporary 'status' to the feed - useful for pinned posts or broadcasting that a livestream is beginning. https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/wiki/RSS-Atom-Exten... It feels like there is still a lot of room to extend these formats - part of the advantage to them is how easily they can be extended. The media enclosure extension is the reason they've been so useful for podcast subscriptions.

And very down to earth. He recently took time to track down a bug in Fraidycat: https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues/220

Fraidycat is very cool and I encourage everyone to check it out. It is a fantastic idea and it generally works well. However, to save you time if you run into the same issue it has with Chrome that I encountered.. there's a bug where using the back button on many sites (including HN and many of our internal apps) can cause a non-logged in page to be fetched and rendered (as if the session cookie isn't being used) - possibly relevant issues: https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues/178 and https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues/194

I learned of Fraidycat in an RSS related HN comment yesterday and have been trying it out. Love some of the homemade quirkiness that I forgot software used to have -- the video is great too. Only question I have: do you really have to assign every Github issue to yourself, the sole developer? Something about it cracks me up: https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues > "Thanks for the bug report. Fortunately for you, our best man is on the job!" > kickscondor has assigned the issue to kickscondor Anyways, just playing. Great product and great shepherding of the Github project.

That's cool - thanks Pixxel! So Fraidycat literally just grabs the title and link from each post in the feed - so it has to do with how DF formats its feed. It appears that the JSON feed works correctly tho: https://daringfireball.net/feeds/json Also, there is a redesign underway that will give richer post view: https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues/30

Yes - I was resisting - but now I quite agree. Follow this issue: https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues/17

If you're interested in recent innovations on this front: (rather than just retreading the same Web as before) * Beaker (https://beakerbrowser.com) the peer-to-peer browser just released their beta release - and it has some exciting features. Particularly the built-in editor, meaning you can edit, serve and read your pages all from the browser. (Blogging in Beaker is as simple as visiting: hyper://a8e9bd0f4df60ed5246a1b1f53d51a1feaeb1315266f769ac218436f12fda830/. And the posts are stored locally.) * https://special.fish/ This completely low-tech social network has taken off. The innovation here is that it's all just focused on profile pages - not feeds of random posts. * There's a growing subculture of public Tiddlywikis (philosopher.life, sphygm.us, etc) - rather than focusing on protocols and APIs, they are much more focused on how to o

The Purpose paragraph you quoted from https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/blob/master/LICENSE... is far from “the only real content”. That paragraph is a statement of intent, not a compression of the details into one sentence. It’s not supposed to be unambiguous. The next seven paragraphs on Acceptance, Copyright, Notices, Excuse, Patent, Reliability, and No Liability are the actual rules of the license. The Blue Oak Model License aims to be closer to the MIT License than to the Unlicense. The Unlicense releases the software into the public domain, which means, for example, that someone who makes a derivative work could release that work under a proprietary license. In contrast, the Notices section of the Blue Oak Model License, just like the third paragraph of the MIT License, requires derivative works to be released under the same

This is likely due to Firefox 'Strict' Tracking Protection. If you are okay turning it down to 'Standard', it will be fine. https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues/26 Not sure how to solve this. Firefox thinks Fraidycat is "calling home".

This is huge for me too. You can follow progress here: https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues/31

This is in the plan. https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues/9 Just wanted to ensure the concept was solid before venturing into it. Also concerned about storage of credentials.

- Working on this. https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues/50 - Re: link colors. I think this is already the case for post titles. What platform did you try it on? - Re: reordering tabs. I've put this in the queue. Thank you. - Re: changing tabs. Part of this: https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues/70 - Re: empty home tab. Good point. If home isn't wanted, maybe I make it go away... Hmm need to think about this. - Re: graphs. I've added a tooltip in the next release and cleared up the logic. More improvements will come with the upcoming design. - Re: keyboard shortcuts. https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues/68 Thank you for the very thorough review! I hope these will improve over the next month.
