As I’ve been more and more interested in self-hosting, I stumbled upon miniflux for RSS feeds. I was using InoReader before on a free tier, and while there are advantages to it, overall it has features that I don’t really need, such as dashboards and whatnot. Other features were reserved for subscribers, which include highlighting excerpts from the articles, AI-tagging, and more.
I prefer the minimalistic nature of miniflux. Thanks to the CSS settings, I was able to use the same colorscheme I have on this website.
In this journey I also found out about linkding, which simply allows you to save links. They can be tagged, marked as read/unread, private or shared. This was exciting, since my link-saving, lol, was fragmented. For a few days I tried out InoReader’s extension to save links; I also have an are.na account; On Vivaldi I tried its Reading List feature. Mai pe scurt, a mess.
I cleaned up my browser extensions, some of which were from 2017…, and added the most useful ones in linkding. There is a browser extension to easily add websites, and I love it. I could also modify the CSS to ensure the same consistent Everforest theme I have going on.
miniflux and be integrated with linkding, such that you can save links to linkding easily.
Both of these were hosted on a Hetzner server instance I have for personal usage.
