feeeed: rss reader and more

This app is great for staying connected to the internet without social media. My fav feature is def that the feed eventually ends when you run out of stories to read (imagine that!) so you can just close the app and get off your phone. Otherwise, the UX feels very polished and intuitive. Feed discovery and general RSS aggregation works well, and the AI article summarizer helps me get a feel for whether i actually want to invest time to read an article (though it’s not great for actually consuming the articles, hallucinations abound like any GenAI).

Edit: Still love the app but the larger widget keeps breaking and to refresh it I need to make it a small one and then a bug one again. One thing I would love to see change is the ability to reduce the text size of the widget so I can see many more articles at once other than two or three at a time. Or the ability to scroll articles on the widget itself. Other than that: This app is wonderful! It does exactly as advertised and is beautiful and free at the same time. I really admire developers who aren’t shady when making “free” apps with hidden ads when claimed to be “ad free” and “premium” feature walls.

Haven’t the apps all gotten so boring? You see a developer realize a good feature has been implemented and, like clockwork, hide it behind a pointless paywall. You see an algorithm develop to no longer deliver you information effectively, but instead just make you angry. This app has avoided all of that. I hope it can sustain that for the future. The promise of extending your phones capabilities with applications has been weakened in the years since it was made, but this app reignites that dream
