What’s the difference between this and say FreshRSS?

[–] TechSquidTV@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Same concept, different implementation. FreshRSS is a PHP app, in my opinion.. a little ugly, still super functional of course. I wanted to try to create something with a more modern UX, and try to appeal to not just the tech folks. FreshRSS still supports things I don't yet, like WebSub, but give me some time to catch up. I have the massive benefit of just starting much later when many awesome libraries and AI exist.

I actually started this API in Go, and it was nearly complete before I started over entirely in Node. And I did that so that it could run in serverless environments. You can of course still run this in Docker Compose, but it's actually focused on Cloudflare deployments, where you can run this entirely for free.

For free you say?

When you say AI, do you mean you’re vibe coding this, or like you’re using AI as a learning tool?

FreshRSS doens't give the impression that it's fishing for VC money for one

[–] TechSquidTV@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I'm not interested in money and you can quote me on that. I just care what my shit looks like
