Quick install

Clone the project:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/spacecowboy/Feeder.git

Then build and install the app to your phone which is connected via USB:

./gradlew installProdDebug

My server is configured by default and you can use your Google account (no password required) to login.

More details

This is an RSS app for Android. Unlike some simple feed readers out there, this app interfaces with a server which is included in the server/flaskapp directory. The server allows easy configuration with a yaml-file and you can setup the server to only allow certain usernames/password. You can also configure it to accept a valid Google token so people can login via their Google accounts, without giving up their passwords (they only have to reveal their email addresses). Furthermore, you can also allow anyone with a Google account to login if you so desire.

The app is currently useless without a server to talk to as all the feed processing and parsing happens serverside. This is done to increase the speed (substantially) and allows synchronizations to be made extremely fast. Parsing the feeds on device can be quite slow. Future versions of the server might allow anonymous usage, or the app might allow device local parsing. I care about speed and that just isn't there at the moment.

Features

  • Offline reading
  • Lightning fast synchronization
  • Notification support
  • OPML Import/Export
  • Material desing

How to run your own server?

Either directly on your machine if you have Python3 installed, or using Docker, which is the most fool-proof way.

See server/flaskapp.
