Ep. 92
This episode revolves around Fresh RSS, a modern tool for curating personalized news feeds without the interference of algorithms. Unlike traditional social media, Fresh RSS allows users to take control of their online content, creating a custom hub for articles, podcasts, and videos from their favorite sources. It is self-hosted, giving users ownership of their data and privacy, which is increasingly important in today’s digital landscape. The setup is user-friendly, supported by a vibrant community and extensive documentation, making it accessible even for those with limited technical skills.
Fresh RSS stands out as a free, open-source solution that continuously evolves with user contributions. It aggregates content from various sources, features a built-in reader, and offers powerful search capabilities. Users can customize their experience with different themes, extensions, and even web scraping for sites without native RSS feeds. The platform encourages intentional consumption of information, empowering users to break free from algorithm-driven feeds and fostering a healthier digital ecosystem. The conversation emphasizes the importance of reclaiming control over one’s digital life and encourages listeners to explore the possibilities of Fresh RSS.
