miniflux is great. I'm hesitant to ask for more features to a lightweight, stable RSS service, but it would be super-nice to be able to enter a youtube username (for example) and have it build a feed from it, as Google is, at best, wildly inconsistent about providing youtube RSS feeds. Essentially baked-in rsshub functionality. But I'm fine running rsshub in parallel. |

Agree entirely. Which is why I never bothered to even ask the dev about my “nitpick”.
I did try a few git repos that would do similar, but they were based on old builds of ruby and well, it didn’t go too well (and I’m not a Ruby on Rails person).
That said I will just periodically purge all reads, and history, and refresh all feeds in background to keep it running smooth.
It’s actually how I came to this very thread.
Re: YouTube, have you tried putting in a channel URL? Miniflux is great at finding rss feeds from indirect urls. But I have noticed rss is increasingly being stripped from sites, probably in an attempt to drive actual traffic stats. I usually try to visit the external link for some sites to give them the traffic/hits. Nevertheless some of my favorite feeds like TalkingPoints Memo and The Drive have completely stripped RSS off their site, which is a shame.
