Po Tay Toes

Thank you for being the only one mentioning swipe, you’ve convinced me to give it a go.

Edit: It doesn’t even ask for internet permission. Delightful.

Thr wheag fron the chadd?

I think some sort of sync capabilities is almost a must have now a days. My impression is that only power users use RSS and they usually have several devices, at least a computer and a phone.

Who doesn’t have a dedicated toilet tablet for browsing RSS and registering poop quality, both very dependent on sync capabilities?

I run NC News. It’s in no way comparable to FreshRSS and have like only the official companion app for mobile use beyond the web interface.

The main benefit is that it’s not another platform to run on one’s server. On my big server I’ve integrated two FreshRSS’s (one for text, one for video) into Nextcloud through iFrames, on my home hosted Raspberry I just wanted something simple that didn’t require reverse proxies and other advanced setup. Thus NC News.

There used to be a couple but they didn’t seen to be too well maintained the last time I checked. But to be fair, it’s a niche implementation of what at this point is a niche internet tech.

Not buying anything: $0.

Both our options are equally far away from an open source music player.

Tasks.org and JTX Board are two of the most used, available on F-Droid.

Yeah, and doesn’t support (coming soon apparently) mobile extensions so no feature parity. But what stopped me from using Joplin for tasks was the unreliable alarm.

Joplin is pretty good as a lot of other stuff though.

Have you heard about MMS before?

Some say “yes, by a lot”. In my experience a 10 seconds fetch rate on apps costs only a few percentages of battery per charge if the fetch is reasonably sane. Checking 75 podcast feeds with thousands of episodes every 10 minutes isn’t sane.

I have tested and got better battery on Lineage/Clean ROMs as compared with stock as well. I put it down to bloat and spyware constantly running in the background with elevated priviledge. 🤷‍♂️

Yes, the optimization is setting up how often the app and phone should wake up and check with your matrix server if there’s any new messages.

Choose and host yourself. For me the latter part is half the battle.

You are forgiven. Element constantly runs a worker to check for new messages on the FOSS version (depending on your configuration), unlike PUSH which just sits idle and listen for new messages.
