So, importing OPML file with multiple levels will result in transforming everything into two layers. The next problem was that only two level hierarchy supported, while in QuiteRSS I have three level. It was painful because it doesn't allow selection of multiple feeds or feed groups at once. This is better ratio than for QuiteRss, but again more research has to be done!įirst problem I had was while removing feeds.
Once I mistakenly selected the option "Mark all news read" which is irreversible.
If you accidentally click on a link to PDF file, QuiteRSS freezes!.It still freezes with some RSS feeds and if that happens some history is lost (read feeds, marked/tagged feds, etc). You have to disable JavaScript because QuiteRss often freezes on some feeds while loading.The problems are the following ones, from the most important to the least important ones: I think that there are a lot of open issues but more thorough statistics has to be performed to know for certain. There are 212 open issues and 719 closed ones.
From 2012 to 2014 development was very intensive. QuiteRSS is basically in maintenance mode since there is no substantial activity since 2014.QuiteRSS is quite popular, 33 watches, 180 stars and 28 forks.From there, the following conclusions can be inferred: It is interesting to look at QuiteRSS GitHub page. It has the ability to tag posts, mark them as a read, etc. There is a homepage and GitHub development page. QuiteRSS is quite good and I'm using it all the time.
Also, I would like to hear you comments/sugestions, so if you have any, please leave a comment.
I'll still try all the mentioned readers and update it with new experience. But before that, note that this is a live post, i.e. I'll describe each of them in a bit more details below. This brought me to three candidates: QuiteRSS, FeedReader and RSSGuard.
Note that I have the following requirements: So, I started to explore RSS feed readers again. QuiteRSS was very good, but it turned out that the bug in Webkit started to annoy me. Besides, it turns out the last version of RSSOwl was released in December 2013, and isn't maintained any more. In the process I tried RSSOwl but I wasn't able to start it due to different XULRunner version on my Fedora. Not to mention that locally I have lot of disk storage that I don't have to pay, while storage in the cloud I would have to pay due to my heavy use of it.Īfter a search I settled on QuiteRSS. Web based readers are out of question, because I prefer desktop applications. Once upon a time, I used Liferea but since I have a lots of RSS feeds with lots of posts I want to keep around, turned out that Liferea wasn't designed with scalability in mind. I'm monitoring lot of sites using RSS so having a good RSS feed reader is mandatory for me.
