RSS pleasantly surprised me
1y 6mon ago in opensource@lemmy.mlI second that excitement! When I first found RSS, it felt like rediscovering the original intent of the internet. It gives you full flexibility of your sources of information all in one place, without giving your data away to a corporate entity, or signing up for any platform for that matter.
Tbh it is such a breath of fresh air compared to the feeds and platforms we've become accustomed to--and RSS has been around longer than them, which is crazy to me.
I just hope websites on the internet continue to support it--as many older, not as common technologies often get phased out.
You can turn newsletters into RSS feeds anonymously through Kill the Newsletter.
I've been using it for over a year and it works flawlessly. Highly recommend!

2y 21d ago in opensource@lemmy.mlI posted a similar question a few months ago if you want some more ideas :) (also looking to develop/design an open source app -- hmu if you want to collab on one!)

2y 2mon ago in fediverse@lemmy.ml from github.comThis is really cool! Congrats on bringing it to completion. I would love to do something similar one day 😁
What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?
2y 2mon ago in opensource@lemmy.mlI've thought about this for a while actually. I think the hardest thing to balance would be privacy. With a FOSS-oriented platform like this, and a broad amount of features like Facebook, you would have to have the users sacrifice a certain amount of real-world data to have these all be linked, and convenient. It could be encrypted in some way, so at least the instance's server wouldn't be able to read the data, but across users you would. I think a new line or definition would have to be made for people who want to use something like this. Most people, though, probably wouldn't care. And a FOSS version would 100% be better than Facebook's servers, where the data is mined and sold.
I've been using GrayJay which has been the game changer for me. I know it's not completely FOSS, but I feel like it is an amazing step in the right direction. I have access to my YouTube sub's AND the Odysee/Peertube/etc counterparts. So as channels transition, the subscribers can too. I feel like this is the necessary direction for more adoption, since like you and others have said, Odysee and Peertube don't have enough main channels for incentive
