Closure. The devs confirmed via Discord they're using Flutter for Kagi News. Neat!

Kagi News has the feel of a Flutter app based on a few aspects. This is pure conjecture, and based solely on my curiosity on how apps are built. For starters, there are Material icons on both the iOS and Android apps, Material ripple effects on iOS. 1/2

I was experimenting with Defuddle as the default content parser for Capy Reader, but at the end of the day, Mercury Parser's plugin system remains extremely useful specifically for reading news. Mercury will return as the default starting in 2025.10.1172.

The latest dev release introduces the "Sunset" theme based on Feedbin's own sepia tone theme. I'm hopeful that this helps personalize the reading experience while still putting the content up front. Let me know what you think!

I ported over Mihon's theming system to Capy Reader tonight. This should also improve the pure black/OLED/E-Ink experience.

It still needs some touch-ups, but you can try it out in the latest nightly build which installs a separate app alongside Capy Reader.

I love RSS for following news sites, newsletters, and blogs, and you can even follow YouTube channels if you want!

I use NetNewsWire for macOS (and iOS back when I used that) and Capy Reader for Android.

"Open in browser" by default for Capy Reader is near. I'm kicking the tires and then I'll push it to a dev release. Here's a sneak peek.

I've had some downtime so I redid my website using microblog. Using git is great and all, but there's something nice about using a CMS to make quick edits without the hassle of a CLI.

The next version of Capy Reader will reintroduce the "Mark All Read" button to the toolbar.

The floating action button will still be an option, but I want to free up space for more complex UIs, specifically audio playback which will occupy the same bottom bar area.

I started looking for a different API client when Bruno walked back its licensing plans and started ramping up monetization. Yaak has been good to me so far, and the keyboard shortcuts are pretty nice too.

An interesting bug (feature?) with the Miniflux Google Reader API. The Miniflux v1 API will toggle bookmarks only, whereas its Google Reader implementation will also sync integrations like Readeck or other read-it-later services.

Miniflux has been supported in Capy Reader for a while now. But I want to add it to the "Add Account" list to make it that much easier to find. Let me know what you think!

One of those "huh, I wouldn't have thought of that otherwise" bugs in Capy. I was using a NOT IN operator with a list of IDs. Turns out that's a hard limit of 999 entries!
