I'm pretty excited about the prospect of desktop Android. Based on my experiments with the desktop OS emulator, Capy Reader will work alright. I just need to add keybindings!
@acallegaro I use it for everything. There are also apps for generating RSS from telegram channells or LinkedIn newsletters.
substack and reddit and bluesky have RSS.
Almost all podcast feeds rely on RSS.
I would suggest @freshrss as a backend. #capyreader as an andeoid frontend. @NetNewsWire is also great for apple.
New Capy update. Here's a break down of some gnarly sync changes. Buckle up.

Capy version 2026.05.1208 includes improvements to better support offline reading. Previous attempts at this relied too heavily on Android’s background worker as the state manager. This works on good network connections but drifts on spotty connections. Background jobs don’t always restart immediately when back online. Even when statuses did sync, it was outside of the refresh interval. Now, statuses are always added to an “outbox” controlled by the app, not the OS. This is a SQLite table that tracks “read” or “starred” states. This is pulled from NetNewsWire’s sync status model which is battle tested and works across many platforms.
Unwinding some past mistakes I made with the Google Reader API. This means I can finally support BazQux in the next release of Capy Reader.
I'm reworking Capy's sync engine to improve offline support. It's based on NetNewsWire's tried-and-true sync strategy. Here's a visualization of how the outbox database works via a debug CLI.
Essa funcionalidade de compartilhar um link com o #capyreader é simplesmente fenomenal.
Sempre que vejo algum toot compartilhando um link bacana, logo confiro se tem RSS e me inscrevo no feed.

#Miniflux server that a friend hosts, combined with #Newsboat on the terminal and #CapyReader on Android.
Oh, and the web interface itself is great. Very basic/brutalistic and fast.
