My only gripe with RSS is the usual dependency on a synchronization server (whether it is a 3rd party server or self-hosted). I have been searching for way too long for a local-first RSS application for both Linux and Android which would store the RSS feeds (as in, the downloaded posts) in a local folder that could be then synchronized between Linux and Android applications using Syncthing or similar. Sadly, still no results. Anyone know about something?
There's always decsync but despite the author claiming it isn't dead, I say it's dead. ๐ฅ
Exactly. Otherwise, DecSync would be perfect (and I even used DecSync in the past).
@Adda @DrDystopia For Rss I've been using "SpaRSS DecSync" with Syncthing exactly for local rss feeds synced across my devices. It works, but yeah it would be nice if the ecosystem around DecSync were more live, more apps implementing it, to have more choice.

Aha, I haven't thought about using the same Linux application. This approach might be worth investigating. Thank you for the idea.
It's audio-specific but I use Audiobookshelf's RSS feed
I have a local folder where I put downloaded youtube audio and the RSS feed updates automatically when new files are placed there. Then, I access it through Lissen or the official audiobookshelf app.
It is definitely worth looking at. I am working with mostly blog posts RSS feeds, but this might come useful one of these days, too. Thank you for the suggestion.
