This episode introduces Tiny Tiny RSS (TTRS), a self-hosted web application designed to help users manage and organize news from their favorite websites efficiently. It utilizes RSS and Atom feeds to aggregate updates, allowing users to create a personalized news stream without the clutter of traditional news feeds. TTRS offers features like folder organization, OPML import/export, and deduplication to streamline information consumption. It emphasizes user control over data privacy, as it is free and open-source software, fostering community support and transparency. The platform also supports customization through plugins and themes, and can handle podcast feeds. Technical requirements include a web server and database, with options like Docker simplifying setup. Users can explore TTRS through a public demo on its official website, tt-rss.org, which resets frequently for trial purposes. Community forums provide assistance for new users, while ongoing development ensures the software remains up-to-date. Ultimately, TTRS empowers users to curate their information flow, making it a valuable tool for those feeling overwhelmed by online content.
