[Abandoned] Is spaRSS still maintained? #293

Open tasmo opened 5 years ago

The last commit in this repository which is not a translation is beafe17f4c70357afd39b0a5f5b1bc0a0055f829 from Jun 19, 2016.

The last version released is the latter "Version 1.11.8".

The development is obviously dead like asked in #259 on Feb 26, 2017. This makes the critic on Flym is obsolete.

Why spaRSS ?

spaRSS is a fork of Flym. It uses the same license (GPLv3) and has quite the same behavior. So why I created this fork ?
https://github.com/FredJul , the official maintainer and developer of Flym has decided to not maintain his app as much as before. (see https://github.com/FredJul/Flym/blob/master/README.md ).
However, as Flym is a great app, and I wanted to add some features (like the Authentication Cookie, see https://github.com/FredJul/Flym/pull/296 ), I decided, with the OK of FredJul to start the fork.
Everyone, included FredJul is free to contribute or to use the spaRSS code for his own app, if it's GPLv3 compliant.
So if he decided to re-start on his app, I'll be very happy to help him to push all the modifications included in spaRSS into Flym.

Personally I prefer to use spaRSS in favor of Flym because it has some nice features I miss in Flym. Also other forks like ReadifyRSS do not fill the gap.

Actually Flym is also dead in favor of Flym2. And, yes, Flym2 is quite alive and well Agree on Readme needs fixing

Where can I find Flym2?

ildar commented 5 years ago

It is in the F-Droid )) It shares app id with version 1 though it is the full rewrite.

tasmo commented 5 years ago

Flym2 is a nice app. It just does not fit to all of my expectations after using spaRSS.
