For a long time, I'm heavily utilizing RSS as the main way to organize my web content consumption (Blogs, Websites, News articles.) I use two different RSS readers (Alligator as a native application and FreshRSS as a web application).
Recently, I stumbled upon #Feedlynx. A super useful tool, to simply add any link into an RSS feed by just pressing a button in the Firefox browser. Like a universal "read later" function, that saves directly into my feeds.
After just 3 days of using Feedlynx, I already have more than 80 entries saved that way and it became an important part of my web (and youtube) consumption habits.
I run it as a rootless podman container, that is started upon login by a systemd user service. And the official Firefox add-on too add links into it.
Thanks @wezm for that awesome piece of software!

Announcing Feedlynx
My latest project, Feedlynx, is a self-hosted tool that allows you to collect links in an RSS feed[1]. You subscribe to the feed in your RSS reader of choice and read or watch later at your leisure. Plus it has an adorable mascot! Feedlynx runs on most mainstream operating systems including Linux, macOS, BSD, and Windows and has no runtime dependencies. Check out the latest release to download pre-compiled binaries for some common platforms. After a few weeks using Feedlynx myself I think it’s ready for others to check out. Read on for more information about my motivations behind building Feedlynx.
