I absolutely love the You apps. That’s what vanilla custom ROM devs need: simple FOSS good looking apps. Fossify is great but alternatives are welcome

I just wish it had a better name. Anything You just makes my brain feel like it hiccup’d trying to reread the sentence parsing it a second time as a name.

Yea a new name would be nice. Not everyone knows what Material You is and for them the names will sound low-effort translations or even phishy

Is there a list of the other apps? Can’t seem to search for just “you”…

Though it looks like the RSS app isn’t a part of the pack. It’s either unofficial or just a name coincidence

It has a great design, which I often find missing from FOSS apps. However I still like Feeder better.

Try to export again in feeder as sometimes it generate bad file.

Different use. Feeder only works locally.

Read You can sync with multiple types of RSS servers. I love using it with FreshRSS. Great for people who use multiple devices.

I just tried to import the OPML file from feeder and it doesn’t seem to work.

That’s because Feeder does their OPML file differently. Their OPML file includes Feeder settings. You have to wait for v0.9.13 release that makes it compatible. It’ll be the next release. Current release is v0.9.12

I just switched some weeks ago from Flym. Flym was my alltime favourite RSS reader, but it is not developed anymore. Read You comes closest to Flym’s minimal design and slowly I am getting used to it.

I really love the design of this app, but it’s still missing a “Older first” settings which is keeping me from using it.

Have you had issues with entire feeds spontaneously marking themselves unread? I finally uninstalled readyou after fighting with that one for a year - it’s not particularly good UX when the app decides that 80+ posts in a feed are new again and worthy of a notification.

hmm, i don’t know, I don’t have notifications on for it. I read from it when I get the need and what is recent.
