Third Party Sync Services

[jocmp]

I'm looking for interest in other sync services beyond Feedbin. If you use a sync service, vote!

Update

FreshRSS and Google Reader API are now supported. See the announcement for more details

• FreshRSS and Google Reader API support now available #492

[jocmp]

Small update: I've searched high and low for Feedly's REST API. I believe they're moving their API away from RSS and into thread intelligence only 👎 Please let me know if there's support otherwise.

On the other hand, FreshRSS has a few different options, and I'd like to implement this within the coming months.

[jocmp]

Yeah I'd like to add both to Capy Reader at some point, it's really just a matter of time and whether they get used - for instance if every service that offers GReader also offers Fever, it would be easier to maintain just one.

For what it's worth https://freshrss.github.io/FreshRSS/en/developers/06_GoogleReader_API.html has some background reading (including sync strategies at the bottom), it also links to the main README where it says greader is better/more efficient. That's the context for my prior comment.

I haven't used Fever or the Google Reader API before. Based on what I've read most sync services that support Google Reader API also support Fever. It seems like gReader API is preferred?

For example miniflux supports both so support for either would be awesome :)

[jocmp]

@woj-tek that's good to know! I didn't know Google Reader was an option for Miniflux.

I'm making progress on adding FreshRSS. Behind the scenes the code supports any Google Reader server. I'm planning on adding an option on the "Add Account" screen for Google Reader in addition to FreshRSS specifically.

[woj-tek]

Awesome, that would cover lots of services IMHO as many (self hosted ones) support Google Reader API :)

[jocmp]

No timeline yet but I'm going to add FreshRSS first by popular demand.

• Add FreshRSS support #332

[jocmp]

First pass at FreshRSS support is now available #492

[jstride]

I've been using it since it was released and it is working well so far, thanks @jocmp - one query - does Capy have mark as read on scroll?

[jocmp]

hey good to hear. and not yet, I'd like to add it but when I tried awhile back I wasn't happy with my implementation. I'll pull the ticket back onto the project board here

• Add option to mark articles read on scroll  #271

I've been using yarr which implements Fever's API as the only API. Would be nice to have a good Android client. ReadYou doesn't like uncategorized feeds in its Fever implementation, which is also seemingly deprecated 🙄

[jocmp]

I've noticed that both Reeder on macOS and ReadYou list Fever API as deprecated. I believe this is because the underlying service Fever is no longer available. But the same is true for Google Reader after all!

I'll track Fever support via #421 with yarr in mind.

[valpackett]

the underlying service Fever is no longer available

Note that it is self-hosted (PHP) software, not a service. Not officially maintained, but it never stopped working for those who have it :)

i use google google api to connect miniflux and it is work fine but i can't see any thumbnail for my feeds.
do i miss something?

[jocmp]

hey @Monirzadeh What feed is missing thumbnails for you? It might be possible that Miniflux isn't picking up the images. Capy looks for the enclosures returned by the Google Reader API. More details on that here: #562 (reply in thread)
