It usually takes less time than that with backend mode on, but yeah you're right I should put some kind of an indicator for it.

Thanks for the feedback and the compliment!

adhamsalama··on A Preview of DuckDB v2.0
I was building an OpenTelemetry observability platform in a single executable file (in Golang) and was using ClickHouse as the database, and replaced it with an embedded DuckDB, so now it's truly a single executable file platform.

Were you logged in or not?

If you were not logged in, then the conversation happens on the Kindle itself so yeah it's gonna be slow.

If you were logged in and the "backend mode" was enabled, then the delay will most likely be fetching the article images, compressing them and converting them to jpeg on the backend, but there's a setting to choose if you want to embed images or not.

But you can read the blogs online without downloading them, with full control over font settings. Is that not good enough?

Can you tell me which feeds you tried and whether or not you're logged in?
adhamsalama··on I turned my RSS feeds into an e-ink newspaper to stop reading on my phone
No, I only have a Kindle, but if it's compatible with the Kindle browser then it may be compatible with Kobo as well.

If you have a Kobo device can you try it please?

I really like the idea of reading blogs on my Kindle, so I built https://inkfeed.xyz

It's a web-based RSS reader optimized for e-ink devices (especially Kindles) that allows you to read blogs online via the Kindle browser, and download the blogs (directly on your Kindle or email it to your Kindle email).

I only tried it on my Kindle, can you try it on your ReMarkable and give me feedback?

And it does support fetching the full article using Mozilla's readability package!

Please try it and let me know what you think!

I think I might have what you want.

I built a web-based RSS reader for the Kindle browser (but it should work on other e-ink devices too).

You can read feeds online or download them directly on your device.

Please try it and let me know what you think!

I'm working on a FOSS Web-based RSS reader for the Kindle that works on the Kindle browser, no need to send articles via Amazon or Calibre!

It's called Inkfeed

It would be great if you opened an issue on GitHub (or a PR) so we can fix this. I definitely want this to work on all Kindles including older models. Thank you.

It's hard for me to debug this because I don't have a Paperwhite 7. I assume it's a JS compatibility issue but not where the exact root cause.

Since the reader is Open Source, can you run it on your machine and view it on your local network to debug and tell me what's the issue so that I can fix it?

adhamsalama··on I turned my Kindle into my own personal newspaper
I haven't open sourced the Backend yet, but the reader frontend repo is fully working without the Backend. The Backend is used for emailing yourself and doing file conversion on the Backend instead of the Kindle to save battery.

So without the Backend you're only missing the email feature. All you need is a proxy to bypass CORS.

To be honest I was thinking of keeping the Backend closed source to add subscriptions ($1 per month) to cover the hosting (4$), which means I only need 4 users to break even haha.

Will think about open sourcing the Backend and get back to you.

Sorry for the delay. Will check it out.

I faced the same issue, but I wanted to use my Kindle to read RSS feeds without relying on my PC, phone or Amazon, so I built a FOSS web-based RSS reader compatible with the Kindle browser. It may make your life a lot simpler.
