About this app

Like on Tinder but with your own RSS feeds, select the articles you would like to read or listen later. Swipe left the articles you don't like, swipe right the ones you would like to keep. Finally, take your time to read your selection of articles !

Fox RSS is a simple rss reader and quit nice to use. Free, open source and without ads.

The source code is available on my Github.

I like this as an alternative to feedly and really enjoy how it's laid out. But not having a button to mark an entire feed as read is killing it for me. Some sites don't remove old entries so you may never get through their whole catalog before you don't have "new" items from them. It's also inconsistent w/ showing the page correctly for webcomic sites. Played w/ podcasts just to see how it handled them - it worked, but after a while (10+ mins?) would stop playing the podcast.

Hi! Yes, some parts of the app are still under development, specially the one related to podcasts. I'll try to remember your observations for the next updates, thank you very much :) I'll try to add more options and ease the user experience. If you have any knowledge in android dev, please contribute to the project !

It's sleek and simple which I really like, but the tinder swipe to build a reading list is a burden and unnecessary gimmick. It's true that RSS feeds are overwhelming and need slimming, but curating each article and then reading is double handling. Also, can't retrieve feeds with https. I'd prefer if this app came pre-built with news RSS feeds to full articles.

The whole point of the app is the tinder swipe system. I won't remove it because it is the core feature which makes the app different from others. But I do agree it can be more a burden than anything in some circumstances... The app is still in development mode and I'll do my best to fix issues (like the https one) and improve the UX.

Very unique take on an RSS reader. I think it's pretty neat but could use some customization options (personally I prefer my items to come in ascending order instead of descending by date) and to change the cards so that images aren't as big and a bit more text could fit in
