It certainly shouldn't do that. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it, it works fine here. Loading entries (among other things) is done with web workers. Are you blocking the execution of web workers or dynamic loading of remote javascri

I develop and maintain an open source RSS reader. In my experience it's not so bad. I strip CSS and javascript from feeds, and most of them are displayed fine anyway. I don't think I've ever found a feed that needed javascrip

I keep working on FeedBunch - http://feedbunch.com It is an open source general-purpose feed reader (RSS/Atom). It attempts to be as fast and intuitive as possible, hiding complexity from the user as much as possible.

It is a very nice library. However be aware that it currently has issues in chrome if your page has several icons: https://github.com/ejci/favico.js/issues/85

I have to mention that I develop Feedbunch, an open-source RSS reader. It can be self-hosted, needs Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL. https://www.feedbunch.com https://github.com/amatriain/feedbunch

It works in SQLite now. I'll wait for the next release. Thanks!

The search feature currently only works on Postgres. It builds an SQL sentence with an ILIKE clause, for case-insensitive matching, which I think is valid only in Postgres. It's not a huge problem for me, but I'd like having full

Yes, I was using the last version in all machines (some mint, some arch). I was trying to sync seven machines in three different physical locations, some with slow internet connectivity; only one machine in each location had its syncthing p

I really like the philosophy of the project and the guys running it, but my recent experience trying to use it as a dropbox replacement has been bad: machines that stayed "syncing..." forever, deleted files that reappeared after a

At the moment I'm afraid I can't offer an estimate of the user fees once out of the beta phase. The beta will among other things serve as a stress test, giving me an idea of the server resources necessary for the service. That wil

You're right, there's room for improvement in the signup process, to show the user something more useful and enticing after signup but before email confirmation. A couple of you have mentioned it. I'll work on it.

Feedbunch currently uses the default Bootstrap tipography, so I'm a bit surprised that it gives you trouble. However a couple of you have mentioned it so I'll definitely look into it. What do the rest of you think about the tipogr

Feedbunch does NOT mark entries as read after a certain period. That's not a feature of RSS at all, I guess it is a feedly-specific feature (or anti-feature, I guess, depending on your needs). What Feedbunch does, however, is limit how

Keyboard shortcuts are definitely in the roadmap. Thanks for the rest of the suggestions, I'll consider them.

There are many new users currently importing their OPML files. There is a rather large backlog in the queue but be patient, in a few minutes it will process your import. You will receive a notification email when it finishes.

Unfortunately I can no longer edit this submission's title. Anyway, the "About Feedbunch" of the landing page says that it is opensource (MIT license). Maybe it should be more prominent.

Keyboard shortcuts are in the roadmap, but not yet implemented. It's an often requested feature, though, so I'll prioritize it :)

Hi guys. I've released Feedbunch, a web app to read RSS and Atom feeds similar to the disappeared google reader. Signups are currently open and it will be totally free for at least as long as it is in the beta phase. It aims to be simp

Well, I don't fully agree with this guy (I think I don't, actually I'm not fully sure of where he's going). But I've also thought for some time that user-side scripting in modern AJAX apps is getting ridiculous. If you look at the javascrip

Paper and pencil are great, until you realize you have to insert a couple of lines of code up there.
