I'm interested in something similar. I currently tame various firehoses by using regex filters in QuiteRSS. That makes switching to NNW a non-starter right now.

But, both of these readers still make the assumption that I want to keep a feed reader open all day every day to check feeds and interrupt me when new ones come in. I'd like something that runs on a server and emails me a link to an rss "digest" once a week. I currently imagine that digest being a "newspaper" stream where the full content of every feed item is listed in chronological order. You can skip ahead to the next item with 'n' if you don't want to finish the item you're on.

I'm sure I'll get around to building it one day.




That’s basically what I built, and I very much prefer to read that way. It’s a lot calmer.

You can find the link in my website, if you’re curious.

Edit: major difference there: I don’t download the content, just link to it.


Cool! I found it. The site's down. :(


Hmm, which one? https://focusd.co should be working


That's the one. "This site can’t be reached. focusd.co unexpectedly closed the connection." in chrome. It works in firefox and safari.



So I got in touch with the owner of https://downfor.io and he was super helpful in order to get me to discover an issue with my SSL setup in Chrome < 71 (I'm currently on 77). I got it working now, hopefully for everyone!

@ScottFree please reach out to me, I'd love to pay you back somehow for making me discover this problem!


Oh wow, thanks for that. I’ll check it out.
