Miniflux 2.0.33

Published on in 💬 Micro

Miniflux 2.0.33 got released. An exciting release because it features Telegram integration (new articles can be sent via Telegram) on the one hand, and on the other hand it includes my contributed changes to also hide individual feeds on the unread list and not just whole categories.

A new Miniflux release

At first I didn’t perceive the new Miniflux release as something special, at first glance I couldn’t see any big changes in the changelog.

But Ru’s post drew my attention to a new feature:

Added option to hide categories from the global unread list

Finally I can subscribe to news feeds again and just look through the entries when I feel like it!

What I’m still missing: Hiding individual feeds as well. This would be a chance to do some coding while on vacation and create a pull request…

Update: I decided to not only talk, but do something. I submitted a pull request with the feature.

To all of you who use Miniflux to follow my JSON feed: My (first) real contribution to Miniflux fixes the problem. 🤓

I also learned today that the Miniflux code base is not as complicated as I always thought. Maybe this will motivate me to fix bugs or develop features more often in the future. After all, it’s boring if I only work on my blog software all the time…

Speaking of web comics that I follow via RSS, ATOM or JSON feed: ideally I would like to see the comics directly in my feed reader (Miniflux). Some feeds already show the images directly in the content, others do not.

Although I unsubscribed from all YouTube channels and removed the app from my phone, I now try to consume videos in a more controlled way. I now subscribe to channels using my feed reader Miniflux.

RSS is still alive

I just found this article from Gizmodo about RSS while going through the list of new items in my feed reader (Miniflux) because it was on the front page of Hacker News, to which I subscribed using RSS. The article says that RSS is a better alternative to consuming news through social media (especially Twitter).

News the minimalist way - Why I use Miniflux

Like two or three weeks ago, I was a little bored and thought about installing something new on my server again. Yes, I really like installing “things” (it’s actually just adding some lines of configuration to a file), especially when those things improve my life in some way. I installed Miniflux and using it really opened my eyes about the way I consume news. If you don’t want to host Miniflux yourself, like I do (which allows me to tweak the configuration), there’s also a very cheap hosted version for just some bucks a year.
