Of applications to read our RSS, now we've talked a lot in DesdeLinux, but we always find one more alternative, and if that alternative is nice, good and cheap, then we don't keep them, right?
Although in recent times I can not detach myself from Feedly, it is always good to know what applications we have on hand if we want to keep the news offline and take it with us on our Laptop, for example.
What is QuiteRSS?
Well I have found RemoveRSS, a reader RSS / Atom written in Qt / C ++, which is very small, but has a lot of options and functionalities, as well as a very simple and attractive interface.
QuiteRSS interface
As I said, the interface of this application is extremely simple and very pretty. The arrangement of the elements can be customized by placing the news browser in various positions.
In addition, all the bars can be customized and we can change the style of the application to adapt it to the graphic engine of our system. We can also open the news in tabs, and in the lower right, we can choose three options: AdBlock, Auto-load images and full screen mode.
QuiteRSS operation and performance
Well, like any other application of its kind, RemoveRSS allows us to add channels to which we want to subscribe, or import from an .opml file. By the way, for those who do not know if we are using Feedly, we can export our sources by accessing the link http://feedly.com/index.html#opml.
QuiteRSS also offers the possibility of exporting our subscriptions or backing up all its content in a folder that we can freely choose.
Likewise, we can catalog the type of content we are reading through predefined tags, or we can create our own from the application options, which I repeat, brings a lot.
The application starts up almost instantaneously, and unlike other more veteran RSS readers like Akaregator, updating the channels is done with surprising speed. We can minimize or close it in the notification area, and although it looks very simple and minimalist, the RAM consumption can reach 180MB.
Either way it is an excellent application. It is fast, simple and perfectly fulfills its objective.
How to install QuiteRSS
QuiteRSS is available for all the usual OS, and in the case of GNU / Linux (and even FreeBSD), we can install it in the following way:
ArchLinux:
$ yaourt -S quiterss
Fedora
# yum install quiterss
Gentoo
openSUSE, Mandriva
Ubuntu
sudo add-apt-repository ppa: quiterss / quiterss sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install quiterss
FreeBSD
RemoveRSS is already on Debian Jessie, so I won't have to suffer to install it by Launchpad PPA.
Interesting .. I just installed it on my openSUSE and it is great: D.
And does it pull KDE dependencies? I would not like that to have a good RSS reader (I have been looking for one for desktop and that has Offline included) I have to pull KDE dependencies as happens with several Qt <= v4 programs; otherwise it looks interesting to try
Well, if you don't at least try to install it, you won't know if you need dependencies. Although I already tell you that I don't think I need it.
AkARegator or akREgator? (penultimate paragraph)
testing 1 2 3… it works !!
Personally, I like Inoreader more than Feedly, mainly because of the social component it has, and as for QuiteRSS, the problem I see with desktop readers is the issue of synchronization ...
Gentoo:
sudo emerge -avDtq quiterss
Although I also recommend in the browser: Feedly and Inoreader.
I miss the classic opera so much: cry m2 bitch who loved you: ´ (
QuiteRSS is a good RSS reader, I found it while I was looking for an alternative to Lifera and I stayed with this one because despite being QT I don't crawl half KDE.
By the way, in Ubuntu 14.04 I did not have the need to add the PPA to install it since it is in the official repositories
This is my default feed reader. I was previously using Liferea, but suffered from crashes at all times. I'm a feed freak, and that's why online readers haven't worked for me, because they don't support all the channels I follow (seriously, I have a problem: D). A few months ago an error arose and I wrote to the developers, who very kindly answered my question and guided me on how to operate.
I have been using it for a long time and I must say that it has been improving by leaps and bounds. There was a time when videos caused problems in the browser; What to say when someone published a link to Vimeo: it was to restart or go back to the channels read, even if they were five or a hundred.
As JL mentions below, the but is that in order to have it on different computers there is no synchronization; but I solved that problem by taking the "feeds.db" file that it saves (in the case of Ubuntu) in /home/usuario/.local/share/data/QuiteRss/QuiterRss, which you put in the same folder on the other computer before starting and take your bookmarks and channels read and pending. I know it's a bit cumbersome, but I'm sure these guys will get in sync in future releases. Anyway, I hope someone serves the whole thing. Regards.
I know this is not going to here xD
But does anyone know what has happened to since android? Was the project canceled?
Regarding FromAndroid.NET, apparently the project maintainer did not pay for the domain renewal, and I don't know what else.
The one from Mint (Ubuntu Repo) is a version from a year ago.
I started reading the ChangeLog and got tired of reading from 0.16.2 to 0.13.1 that comes in the mint repository. So I raised the ppa and raised the 0.16.1, it is seen that the 16.2 has not been packed yet.
Anyway, that. I recommend that whoever can either compile or install the PPAs.
Regarding QuiteRss, it is much better than I expected although I have to configure it so that it maintains a more or less "nice" format so that it is comfortable to read since, like all readers, the original style sheet does not exist. Otherwise it looks very good.
regards
I've been testing Thunderbird for Rss use and it's very good. Since quiterss has frozen a couple of times.
