Tuvix Tricorder - An RSS Button For The Web - Lemmy.World

Tuvix, the self-hostable RSS aggregator, now has browser extensions to help you discover and follow RSS feeds during your internet travels. https://tuvix.app/blog/tuvix-tricorder-browser-extension/ [https://tuvix.app/blog/tuvix-tricorder-browser-extension/]

Question: I do remember the days of those RSS buttons everywhere. But I never managed to see the value in it.

Can anyone share their experience with following feeds, and how they consume this content? Is there some kind of spam/tracker free functionality that people enjoy? Are there apps out there that organize this in a way that changes the game?

I’d like to give it another shot, sorry for all the questions.

One of the benefits when I used to use RSS was that the feed could be updated and cached so articles could be read when you don’t have an active Internet connection. Not as big of a deal these days, but a decade ago cell networks were spottier and free Wi-Fi wasn’t always available.

I always loved how pulse layed out each of the feeds and showed the headline and first image of the article.

The issue now is that most RSS feeds do not include content. Which is understandable So its really more of a link aggregator now. Tuvix is not a reader app yet, maybe it will be, but I have seen some apps that will fetch and cache the page for offline viewing. Maybe one day.
Yeah, it kinda seems like RSS died shortly after Aaron died
