Pulp

Skim excessive feeds Source

Description

Note: Today Pulp is available as available as a preview which includes direct RSS along with FreshRSS and Nextcloud News backends.

Pulp provides a workflow focused on reading through an excessive number of RSS feeds with the goal of regularly marking all read, resting in a state akin to an empty inbox.

Contributing to quickly parsing excessive articles:

Translators: Part of metainfo description
Marking read while scrolling
Ensuring full article titles and longer excerpts are visible in the article list
A large mobile-friendly "mash roughly here" button to mark the list read and continue
Minimising everything else, in both UI clutter and functionality

Complimenting Pulp being a bucket that you're aiming to keep empty are the abilities to share (via Mastodon, Telegram, Reddit and mail) and save (to Wallabag, Nextcloud Bookmarks, Nextcloud Notes and Iotas).

The goal here isn't to be a typical RSS reader, please see the README (via the website link) for more about what Pulp is trying to do and what's possible with this preview. There will be some bugs, reporting those (via the Report an Issue link) is greatly appreciated 🙏
