  1. I've released v1.2.0 of OldNews, my client for the . This version adds some cleaning/filtering to the full article grab facility, explained here: oldnews.davep.dev/grab_filters/

  2. I've just released v1.1.0 of OldNews, a client for . The main change in this release is to add the ability to download and display the text of a page for an article you're viewing; useful for those sites that are stingy with the summary in the feed.

  3. The winter break project is (post-break) getting dangerously close to being usable as a daily driver. At this rate I’ll have to do some proper docs soon!

  4. The winter break project is coming along okay. The UI doesn't look much different than before, but I've been on a side quest of trying out local database/ORM options, etc. Ended up settling on TypeDAL (typedal.readthedocs.io/en/late). So local DB sync is mostly working now.

  5. @johnleonard I don't know why. But I'm seeing the same thing here. I've been using The Old Reader for years. I hope this will be fixed. I don't want to have to find a new rss reader.

  6. TheOldReader has been down or down-ish for the last few days. Anyone know why? #theoldreader #outage #rss

  7. I've used The Old Reader ever since Google Reader was killed, but I really wish there was an Android app that worked with it.

  8. I've always written userstyles. But just recently have I started to share them with the world 😄

    I use #theoldreader as my CSS reader but I'm always annoyed by how it handles font-size, there are so many inconsistencies. I try to fix this and make the font-size more consistent with this new #userstyle: userstyles.world/style/18115/t

    (and you can even adjust the default font-size in the style settings 😉)

  9. I’ve been using as the backend for reader apps (and on occasion its web interface as a reader) since 2019; I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever seen it have downtime!

  10. @galroth @hen #Inoreader has their own client. I've been using #theoldreader for many, many years, but had a brief affair with Inoreader meanwhile; it was ok.

  11. I'm building out a new RSS reader on Flym, and going through The Old Reader and all the blogs I used to follow regularly in the late 90's and early aughts. Shooting off the hip, I'd say that 5% are still posting regularly.

    I miss the blog era and would love to see it come back.

  12. @qkslvrwolf I haven't used #TheOldReader although it looks really nice too.

    I'm in favour of any #RSSReader that works for people. I still believe that #RSSFeeds are seriously undervalued.

  13. Back in November, with the whole birdsite ordeal, I wanted to get back to using a #feed reader.

    I paid for #Feeder in 2021, but I didn't use very much, even with the AI features they tout.

    I paid for #theoldreader this time. I had used it before so I opened a time capsule of feeds I added back when Google Reader went down.

    It was grim to see so many websites that no longer existed. I removed the dead websites, added new ones, and I still did not use it regularly.

    I think now I know why.

  14. Any #GoogleReader refugees here? What are you using?

    I used #TheOldReader and now I'm using #inoreader. I finally realized (thanks to @christitus) that I can subscribe to #youtube #rss feeds, instead of following channels directly on youtube...
