New custom content extraction path in #RSS-Librarian now automatically links a Youtube video's counterpart URL and MP4 on @odyseeteam.bsky.social. Sample below shows ColdFusion TV.

Try here to store articles for later-reading in your feed-reader:

It's weird. The Internet is a steaming trash fire right now. But I'm somehow totally content with what I've got going with my nerd-ass self-hosted stuff.

I'm in a good place, and don't really see much that I'd want to change.

>>Amazingly, when RSS was just an idea on Bluesky a month ago, I wondered out loud if I could find a space to host the pilot course in person.

Are you still using RSS? If so, what reader?

With @mozilla.org shutting down pocket, I'm considering moving to RSS Librarian (github.com/thefranke/rs...) by @thefranke.bsky.social

But user experience matters. I need ios, android, mac and offline.

Bonus: API access and handling newsletters.

RSS-Librarian, a self-hostable read-it-later service, got two new features!

1. Abe Ramseyer has implemented feed item management.
2. A confirm dialog prevents accidental feed creations from users who forgot to store their personal URL.

Beginning to see a couple of cool adapted versions of RSS-Librarian around the web. If you are looking for a simple tool to save URLs for later reading through your RSS reader, look no further: github.com/thefranke/rs...

I hear you. How people do news without an RSS reader is beyond me. For me, open RSS, see news for day, close it and done. For research, as librarian, I got access to various (expensive) subscription databases, and I know how to use them, but also use Wikipedia for basics.

RSS-Librarian is now decentralized!

Instead of relying on FiveFilters, it will now detect a local Readability installation and use that (if available) and use FiveFilters a fallback. Extracted content should also look nicer and more complete now.
