🛠️ Title: QuiteRSS (Help !)
(2/2)
(...)
It has a few shortcomings (it tends to bring up the same News and ignores other links), and recently I've started using Akregator as well (works better, but no search on feed names - only on articles, fewer options, and the reporting in the systray is unreadable). I've tried others, but none are powerful enough for the number of links I need to track for this site.

Is there anyone who could take over the maintenance of QuiteRSS?

@Le_bottin_des_jeux_linux I kinda feel the same. A shame really considering it's the only tool that really got me into usable RSS feeds. All the other options felt inferior in so many ways.

Yes, we mustn't let such tools die.
All those who read us, please, help the project 🙏️

@Le_bottin_des_jeux_linux if I understood right, the only true problem that made QuiteRss drop is the "rendering" part that went obsolete (webkit). Wish they considered using some more minimalistic engines likes dillo. But I feel like it'd be a major task (C is scary to delve into too).

I hadn't thought of that, but rendering HTML pages is like maintaining a web browser.

Too bad there aren't any ready-to-use frameworks based on open-source engines such as Firefox (gecko?) or Chrome.

It's also a pity to bother rendering in an RSS reader when I personally don't use them, preferring to launch links in my web browsers (I have several depending on my uses).

An RSS reader in text mode (but powerful and with a nice interface) would suffice.

@Le_bottin_des_jeux_linux thunderbird has a serviceable RSS reader
