Show HN: Kindly RSS, a self-hostable RSS app designed for e-ink devices
kindlyrss.appIn the last few weeks I've been working on a RSS application designed to be used in e-ink devices such as Kindle, through the device's web browser.
It's a self-hostable app optimized for running on low-end hardware (such as Raspberry Pi, I actually run it on a 3b model).
The project is in its early stages of development. It is usable, but you may (and probably will :P) encounter bugs from time to time.
I did it for myself (I like to read at night before going to sleep but I don't like to use my phone at that time). I thought people could find it useful so I worked on it a little bit more to publish it.
At the moment it can only be run by downloading and compiling the source code or using the docker image (in the repo and the landing page there is a curl that executes the script to run the container, manual instructions can be found in the repo's README).

Thank you for reading! I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. It looks great, might try it out. I've been researching RSS clients recently because I feel pigeonholed into doing something that feels like a right of passage for HNers: making my own RSS reader because of one specific niche not met by any existing options That one specific feature that I'm looking for is a reader that lets you use "tags" instead of "categories". I'd like to have a "podcasts" and a "mushrooms" category without being forced to choose which of the two buckets a "podcast about mushrooms" needs to go into The OPML standard supports duplicate outlines but that can get messy since many readers just straight up ignore that and duplicating an outline for each basterdized category-tag-thing Hey! Thank you for your comment. I'll definetly have that in mind when developing features related to tags/categories. At this stage the app needs some love at the core features
