First of all, thanks a lot for your awesome program, I'm using it to sync RSS feeds between my phone and my Linux desktop. Related to that, I was wondering if you considered supporting the "spiritual successor" to FeedReader, Newsflash. It's made by the same devs, and they are currently looking for services maintainers: https://gitlab.com/news-flash/news_flash_gtk

I would like to support Newsflash, but technically it isn't straightforward. It written in Rust which I am unfamiliar with and I would have to create Rust bindings for my library. I do want to look more into it, but for now I focus on making sure Feedreader keeps working.

Understood. Thanks for the answer! I'll keep using feedreader.

Rather than integrate into applications why not create a decsync bridge for RSS, say for example a daemon that converts data between decsync folders and the fever api. Then apps like newsflash could just connect to the daemon/bridge through the fever api. It would be like the radicale plugin but for rss. It would be platform agnostic and not tied to one particular application. Hell you could implement other APIs than fever
