The devs aren’t worried about Janeway?
Any plans for OIDC and read-only/non-root/no-cap container running?
The docs look so good. So does the app.
Wait until you try the Win95 theme
The project looks nice and RSS Aggregators are the way to go.
I switched to a file based (cloud storage) syncing app like News Explorer a while ago. Sometimes less infrastructure involved is a blessing.
I’d still like some algorithm in my RSS aggregator. One, that detects articles talking about the same thing and groups them.
Yup and if you gave it a basic text to speech and an audio player and you got custom radio with a news break
My problem is finding the feeds lol
Just add sites (by top level domain) that you use to read. You would be surprised how many provide feeds and even more surprised how fast your feed reader gets overwhelmingly filled 😅
Ya. I’m working on that too. And trying to keep in the spirit of not being biased or heavy on algorithms.
My first step - A chrome/firefox extension. This is currently in review on the web store. This exposes RSS feeds on sites you visit to make it easier to subscribe to the places you already visit. This is especially great when you find a great blog on Reddit or Hacker News. https://github.com/TechSquidTV/Tuvix-Tricorder-Extension
MURDERER!
I have a feeling this will be unceremoniously killed and forked into two different projects.
Janeway did nothing wrong
Huh, the connection was actually intentional, albeit definitely not for that reason
Why “Tuvix”?
Tuvix is named after a character from Star Trek: Voyager who was created by merging two individuals into one. The name came to mind when thinking about one of Tuvix’s core features: merging multiple RSS sources into a new public feed. And who doesn’t love a good Star Trek reference?
We believe the best reading experience doesn’t require sophisticated algorithms or endless personalization. It just requires giving you the tools to find and organize content you care about.
Makes sense, but it still makes me want to grab a coffee and order its murder.
Of course
I’m sad that it took me a second to get it.
Is the selfhosted version able to also take email newsletters? I hate them and I’m using https://kill-the-newsletter.com/ to turn them into RSS, but I wish I had an all in one solution.
Also, is it fully FOSS or is it open core?
AGPL v3. Take that as you may. I’m *open *to changing it. I just wanted to give the project a chance to thrive without someone just hosting it as a paid app and calling it a day. That makes it so that if anyone does want to create a commercial product from this, they would need to offer up the source. My monetization plans only extend to possibly offering an additional plan on the hosted version to help cover hosting costs (which right now are $10 a month and I am covering that, it may become $30 a month if this gets popular).
While I support the idea of using RSS readers to break free from algorithmic and/or AI curated feeds, I’ve mostly stopped bothering, since all the content that gets into the feeds has become algorithmic, AI slop.
There’s just no escaping it these days.
While super fair and accurate, I take this as an opportunity to follow much smaller blogs. When I find a good post on Hacker News or stumble upon someone through my research, I now actively make a point to subscribe to their RSS.
TBH my original motive was to find good sources of content to submit to Hacker News… but all the same.
lol I started to reply, suggesting a recommendation feature to help find non-algorithmic tech feeds but then realized that’s exactly how all this started.
😆 . It’s a real problem though. So is prioritization. Algorithms aren’t bad, dark patterns are. The main issue with any algorithm, even if fully open, it, by definition, has to be biased in some way. I’m going to save this problem for much further down the road, but for discovery, I took the first step on that.
Tricorder! https://github.com/TechSquidTV/Tuvix-Tricorder-Extension
I broke out the package that does the feed discovery in tuvix and publish it separately. Now you can use it as a chrome plugin to add a subscribe page to any website. It is currently pending review on the Chrome web store. I haven’t yet submitted to Firefox or others.
I guess getting a flip phone and stick to an eBook reader would be a good solution
