#KDE #akregator ftw ๐
I'm happy that I was succesful in convincing both the maintainers of Akregator and RSSGuard to add support for the "feed:" protocol to their apps. This helps websites providing links for feeds that really end up in the feed reader a Linux user has installed.
The KDE folks have already merged a fix for the help issue. ๐
Akregator seems to have gone nuts on my feeds though, and is reloading all of the articles, no matter how old.
I also wish it would remember sort order and that I only want to view unread articles.
On to the next one, I guess.
Current Akregator can't find its help though: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507808
And the docs that are available are (I think) for the 5.x version, rather than the current 6.x: https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/akregator/akregator/configuration.html
KDE's docs being out of date for Plasma 6 is a problem I keep running into. Great opportunity for potential tech writers to develop a portfolio of workโฆ
Akregator (the official? KDE feed reader) loaded my feeds and folders successfully and quickly!
There was a weird UI bug where it also temporarily created empty feed entries, one per imported feed. These went away when I fetched articles (or when I re-arranged the folders).
Since I'm running KDE anyway, I'll give this a go for a bit and see how well it works day-to-day.
