A potential future for Capy, ruminations on Android RSS readers.
tinsukE@_jocmp I did try #ReadYou when searching for my Android #RSS reader of choice.
While it got the job done, it was inexplicably slow at loading my feeds. And it felt a bit cluttered. So much so that I gave #CapyReader a try, and I'm very glad I did.
Capy works well, is very performant, and is clutter-free. I see its simplicity as a plus, really.

@_jocmp I'd be sad to see Capy go or become a fork of ReadYou, but since you're considering that, wouldn't it make sense to think about making those changes as contributions to upstream instead?
The maintainer seems quite open with contributions, they even accepted my mTLS PR when I was trying it as my main Android reader 😜:
https://github.com/ReadYouApp/ReadYou/pull/940
I think there's room for Capy to exist as-is, keeping things simple and smooth

Support specifying a client certificate for mTLS auth by tinsukE · Pull Request #940 · ReadYouApp/ReadYou
Using a reverse-proxy with mTLS (client authentication) is a decent way to expose your self-hosted services on the internet. This PR adds support for using a certificate that's installed in you...
Thanks @tinsuke, it's good to hear your perspective. To your point, I forget sometimes that Capy benefits from the simplicity, which sometimes makes it speedier.
