How would that work exactly? I bookmark many things that are not feeds.

You mean like Firefox’s smart bookmarks or something else?

Probably because those are 2 different things?

@finalarbiter I agree but how hard can it be to just let me save articles in a freshrss 😭

how hard can it be

Pull requests welcome

It shouldn’t be that hard. I’ve had such a thing in readeef since forever

But the usage heavily overlaps

FreshRSS + Readeck

You could run them in parallel, or fork both and smush em together

@lIlIlIlIlIlIl Do they work in sync? Like if I save something in FreshRss it shows up in Readeck?

Of course not, but you could of course fork both projects and kludge them together. FreshRSS is the feed provider, you could probably find an RSS client that saves links.

Do you simply want to bookmark posts you discover via RSS or do you wanna be able to add arbitrary links to it too?

@shrek_is_love arbitrary links to it too.. I just want to be able to save any link in my rss reader

I bet there’s a bookmarking app that can output an RSS feed since they’re pretty simple; then you could just subscribe to it from any feed reader. You could possibly even build a simple one. Where do you want to be able to save bookmarks from? And what RSS reader do you use?

Nextcloud has both RSS reader and bookmark manager, the bookmark manager had a link you can click to bookmark the site your on

Same reason that there isn’t a product that combines a George Foreman Grill and a tablesaw.

yet

There was. TTRSS had both of these functionalities in its app. There was a ‘Read Later’ shortcut that put the article you wanted to save into the app via an Android shortcut. It was beautiful. The owner was a famously disgruntled (read: asshole) coder who finally gave the app up. The new coder does not include this functionality the revamped app.

Dunno if it is what you are looking for, but there is Linkwarden. It is primarily a bookmark/archiver (Saves a copy of the page), however, it has the ability to subscribe to feeds and will automatically bookmark anything in that feed.

@patthecat @selfhosted miniflux has a save button you can integrate with a lot of other apps. I’m using it with readeck.

@monotux @selfhosted Is it? I didn't know about it. Will check it out thanks

This question is how new apps are born

I want to make an rss reader app at some point because I have a lot of sources but really struggle telling which are quality. I want an upvote/downvote (or smth more granular) system so I could pull up the page with stats for the source and see how well it works out for me. However, as of now, I have neither the skill or time to develop it, and I’m also already working on a different app which is a big time sink by itself.

I’m using Readwise Reader for years now and it’s the only service deserves it’s subscription for me. It’s not self hosted tho.

Probably not an answer you’d like to see: I am using FeedFlow which supports bookmarking articles, having FreshRSS as the source of truth.

Because you haven’t coded it yet. 🤗

Chop chop!

I use Karakeep, which is a bookmark manager with an RSS feed option, but you need to add some auto tags or your feed will just become a mess - it saves ALL the links from RSS feeds you add.

Do you mean bookmarking web pages? Vivaldi browser has rss, email and the usual bookmarking functions.

Can someone please explain RSS to me? I just don’t get it and I’ve been using Firefox since it was Netscape Navigator 2.0

Explain how it works or what it is?

It’s just a feed you can follow (think of following someone on IG or twitter). You’ll get notified about the new content on that feed.

You can subscribe to all the feeds that are interesting to you and now you have a place to read the all and get notified when something new is out.

I don’t have ig or teitter

Imagine you had a feed like Lemmy’s home feed, where things from the places you follow show up in a single feed you can look through and open the items you want to read.

Sites used to publish an RSS feed of everything they posted. GReader was the king like 10 (omfg, 20?) years ago. They they fucking killed it like they do with all their good, non-mail/YouTube projects.

But I’m sure you get the gist

Someone can publish a list of updates in a computer-friendly XML format at a given URL.

An RSS client polls it periodically for updates, maybe notifies a the client’s user when new updates show up, tracks which they’ve viewed.

Some people use it to provide notifications when their blog has new entries. Some to notify about new podcast episodes. I’ve seen it used to provide notifications of new BitTorrents being started on a tracker.

See every update from the websites you want updates from without trusting an algorithm to surface them to you.

Freshhrss with a configured share to a bookmark service like linkding? Is that what you are looking for?

Surely that’s just FreshRSS with a plugin like Wallabag or Readeck. I use FreshRSS and Readeck for precisely this. One-click bookmarking (and archiving of the page, too).

@tenebrisnox Yeaa I guess this was what I might do. I just wish I could star any link in freshrss to read it later instead of using another app

Have you tried favouriting the post using the star button? I’ve just tried it and it does work as a read-it-later function even if you mark as read.

??? Highly unclear what exactly you are imagining.

I use Reeder (reederapp.com) with FreshRSS (freshrss.org), and there is a read-it-later option. Here I can add URLs from the browser and articles from the reader. This works quite well also as some sort of bookmarking. I’ve used bookmarks mostly as a read-it-later tool. 😅

Linkwarden?

linkwarden.app/blog/releases/2.9

@patthecat @selfhosted no one gonna mention that a freshrss contributor is doing exactly that ?
