Hacker News Reader

Just going to plug Tiny Tiny RSS here since no one else has mentioned it: https://tt-rss.org/

It's a PHP-based server-side reader with lots of customizations and great Android support.

Yep, I love TinyRSS. I use it for webcomics, blogs, even YouTube so I don't have to use their shitty web interface. Here are some dockerfiles I made:

Have you found a way to subscribe to youtube channels and view the video embedded insite ttrss? The official youtube feeds appear to be empty or just contain a URL to the video.

No, I just click on them or run them in mpv. I've thought about writing a plugin for TTRss where you can give it a channel name and it will add the RSS feed, plus store the channel's icon instead of the YouTube icon, but I haven't gotten around to looking at that (or seeing if there's a plugin that already does some or all of that).

Subcribe to: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=USERNAME or https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNELI...

and enable plugin af_youtube_embed

Yes, I'm using the https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNELI... format with af_youtube_embed enabled and it is just showing blank entries on the newest version of ttrs & plugins. Looks like my installation is bugged then, but I don't have the time to investigate at the moment.

You can always just use youtube-dl and sync local copies of the channel

I use TT-RSS heavily -- that's how I aggregate various news and information feeds into a single RSS feed that I read.
