      I just wish it had a better name. Anything You just makes my brain feel like it hiccup’d trying to reread the sentence parsing it a second time as a name.

      Is there a list of the other apps? Can’t seem to search for just “you”…

    I just switched some weeks ago from Flym. Flym was my alltime favourite RSS reader, but it is not developed anymore. Read You comes closest to Flym’s minimal design and slowly I am getting used to it.

    It has a great design, which I often find missing from FOSS apps. However I still like Feeder better.

        Try to export again in feeder as sometimes it generate bad file.

      Different use. Feeder only works locally.

      Read You can sync with multiple types of RSS servers. I love using it with FreshRSS. Great for people who use multiple devices.

        I just tried to import the OPML file from feeder and it doesn’t seem to work.

          That’s because Feeder does their OPML file differently. Their OPML file includes Feeder settings. You have to wait for v0.9.13 release that makes it compatible. It’ll be the next release. Current release is v0.9.12

    I really love the design of this app, but it’s still missing a “Older first” settings which is keeping me from using it.

      Have you had issues with entire feeds spontaneously marking themselves unread? I finally uninstalled readyou after fighting with that one for a year - it’s not particularly good UX when the app decides that 80+ posts in a feed are new again and worthy of a notification.

        hmm, i don’t know, I don’t have notifications on for it. I read from it when I get the need and what is recent.

    So far, I like what I see. It’s a small application, but I’m trying to figure out how push notifications work. Since I do not have Google Play Services and how often it will check for new feed updates

        So far as I am able to tell, this app does not give me any kind of push notifications at all, even though it’s supposed to. So I might have to ditch it for now.

          I do not find any option for push notifications, the app also is not trying to register using microg. I am not sure why it is supposed to give push notifications tbh.

            I just had a look at the description to make sure I wasn’t crazy and yes it says right in the thing that article notifications are a thing but it is not registering with unified push and it is not manually checking every x minutes for notifications so I don’t see how it has them.

    Good app thank you for the suggest! I hope they will add also the ability to mark read while scrolling. I’m used to read through Feedme app, but since it isn’t opensource this one could replace it at all!

      Reading feeds.

      Mostly blogs and videos. Some comics. Some odds and ends like notifications for various things.

      I use it to follow news updates, blogs, updates of apps that I like, some youtube channels and lemmy/reddit communities.
      I’m new to using rss feeds, but it seems to reduce the time to open pages on the browser to check for updates.

      For example:
      Feed with post titles and content from c/ Word of the Day:
      https://lemmy.world/feeds/c/wotd.xml?
      Lemmy has built-in rss feeds.

      I also use the FdroidUpdate subreddit to follow updates. Is there a direct rss feed to follow?

      Notifies me of updates for Jerboa:
      https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases.atom

      The same for PipePipe:
      https://codeberg.org/NullPointerException/PipePipe/releases.rss

      PipePipe displays rss feed urls of yt channels. So I follow some local yt channels.

      https://rss-bridge.org/bridge01/ - Helps to get rss feeds for services/websites that don’t have an rss feed of their own

      News websites like The Guardian and The Hindu(Indian newspaper, not a religious one tho) seem to have rss feeds for specific topics and main pages.

    I checked it out, seems interesting but I still prefer Feeder. Mostly because I couldn’t get Read You to actually show text/images from a page, for instance XKCD.

    I only wish it could zoom images.

    Tried using it. Terrible UX. Lots of small annoying things that make the app usage very uncomfortable.
