Been using it for more then a year, really good app.

Have you had issues with entire feeds spontaneously marking themselves unread? I finally uninstalled readyou after fighting with that one for a year - it’s not particularly good UX when the app decides that 80+ posts in a feed are new again and worthy of a notification.

hmm, i don’t know, I don’t have notifications on for it. I read from it when I get the need and what is recent.

Great app, just wish they had a radar.

Also for my American brethren that also use Freedom units, you might have to set speed, temperature, volume, pressure measurements to something our smooth brains can understand:

Cool looking app. I wish it was available on Google Play for people not familiar with third party app downloads.

Uploading to Google Play involves significantly more work.

Understood. I just think it could spread and be enjoyed by lots more via that path. Of course, it’s all up to the devs.

critical,

And fees

Is this “breezy weather” in the google play store? It looks similar but that’s an app with 100M users, doesn’t sound Ned…

I installed mine from fdroid. Just searched on the play store and couldn’t see the same one on there or even anything with the same name.

The icon is a yellow Pinwheel on a blue background.

This needs more contributors FYI. There’s a ton of issues and feature requests

What sort of things do people use RSS readers for these days?

Red_sun_in_the_sky,
@Red_sun_in_the_sky@lemmy.ml avatar

I use em for news feeds. Blogs. Its handy. Also widgets are nice to have on home screen for feeds.

Reading feeds.

Mostly blogs and videos. Some comics. Some odds and ends like notifications for various things.

Safipok,

Peertube channels, app/service development/updates, kick starter updates, nonprofit news, general news most importantly comics(and blogs)!

Achyu,

I use it to follow news updates, blogs, updates of apps that I like, some youtube channels and lemmy/reddit communities.
I’m new to using rss feeds, but it seems to reduce the time to open pages on the browser to check for updates.

For example:
Feed with post titles and content from c/ Word of the Day:
lemmy.world/feeds/c/wotd.xml?
Lemmy has built-in rss feeds.

I also use the FdroidUpdate subreddit to follow updates. Is there a direct rss feed to follow?

Notifies me of updates for Jerboa:
github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases.atom

The same for PipePipe:
codeberg.org/NullPointerException/…/releases.rss

PipePipe displays rss feed urls of yt channels. So I follow some local yt channels.

rss-bridge.org/bridge01/ - Helps to get rss feeds for services/websites that don’t have an rss feed of their own

News websites like The Guardian and The Hindu(Indian newspaper, not a religious one tho) seem to have rss feeds for specific topics and main pages.

devfuuu, to opensource in Newpipe is getting updates on fdroid again and seem like will be getting updates for the foreseeable future as the issue stopping it is solved.

Just glad that the comments not loading is now fixed.

I am a feeder user though i would be up for playing with it

nomadjoanne, to opensource in Read You, A modern rss reader for Android.

Noice. I am currently on feeder but I’ll tale a look at this

Nice app. I’m currently using the yr app from the Norwegian weather services. It would be great if that API could be implemented.

I only have one choice for weather data as it stands.

cinnamonTea,

From what I see, MET Norway is an option for weather sources, is that the right one?

Akasazh,
@Akasazh@feddit.nl avatar

It only gives me the one option in the app. But MET Norway should be it…

cinnamonTea,

For me it’s when I add a new location, then I get to choose what sources to pull from

Akasazh,
@Akasazh@feddit.nl avatar

Yeah but there are not as much options there as the ‘help me choose’ GitHub link suggests. Open météo is the only option.

Will have to look into this later.

cinnamonTea,

Very strange. I installed through the neo store a week or so ago and have a couple options https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/bc980ffb-7168-40f4-a3a9-9e8a68eeb8a5.png

cinnamonTea,

The version is 5.1.8_fdroid, which is the same one I also see in fdroid

Akasazh,
@Akasazh@feddit.nl avatar

In neo store it allowed me to install the Izzy version, which lets me select multiple sources. It’s weird not to have that in every install, though

cinnamonTea,

Definitely strange… Glad it worked out, though

Akasazh,
@Akasazh@feddit.nl avatar

I’ll try the neo store version later and see if it differs somehow. In the documentation there’s some take about ‘flavors’ of the same app, which is a bit bizarre imho.

Phrey,

It looks like it’s excluded from the F-Droid build.

any benefits over omWeather?

ManniSturgis, to opensource in Breezy Weather: An open-source, privacy-friendly Android weather app forked from the now-unmaintained Geometric Weather

Been using it for months now. Can recommend.

Kowowow, to opensource in Breezy Weather: An open-source, privacy-friendly Android weather app forked from the now-unmaintained Geometric Weather

A lock screen daily or weekly display would make this perfect

Armand1, to opensource in Breezy Weather: An open-source, privacy-friendly Android weather app forked from the now-unmaintained Geometric Weather

I’d been using Geometric Weather for many years, and I noticed a few weeks ago that it was misbehaving, not fetching data sometimes. I didn’t realise it had not had an update for almost 3 years!

I had switched to Google’s weather app, but maybe I’ll switch to this instead. Thanks for the heads-up.

@Thann@lemmy.ml avatar

Why is this in privacy? It has like a million unnecessary permissions

synestine,

Really? Such as?

backhdlp,
@backhdlp@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

obviously a weather app couldn’t possibly use your location for anything, must be spyware

  • read the contents of your shared storage
  • run foreground service
  • ask to ignore battery optimization.
  • view network connections.
  • view Wi-Fi connections.
  • run at startup.
  • set an alarm.
  • expand/collapse status bar.
  • run foreground service with the type "specialUse"
  • run foreground service with the type “dataSync”

None of these are used in my other weather app =\

SqueakyBeaver,

Most of those are optional lol The only ones that aren’t are the network ones, and after looking at the source code, it’s mostly used for error messages
