Simple web-based news reader for Nextcloud that feels faster in the browser than some desktop apps I've used. Took me all of a minute to install on my Nextcloud server, and a few more to find the export button on Feedly. (It imported my subscriptions perfectly.)
There's a corresponding app for Android that's lightweight, fast, and stable. It works exactly like you'd expect, down to swiping gestures to save/archive posts from the list view, or flip through article view, and matches the system light/dark theme by default. Super easy to set up if you already have the Nextcloud app on your phone.
This extension was broken and unusable for more than half of the year for stable versions of Nextcloud: since version 28 was released on December 12, 2024. Seeing an official extension having so little maintenance is sad, it provided one of a few good features I liked in Nextcloud.

I use this as a replacement for Tiny Tiny RSS. It works really well, and is easy to install (provided you already have a NextCloud instance). The mobile app is also very solid, and my primary way to read the news feeds. Definitely recommend it.
