Comments and Reviews
Similar to NetNewsWire on MacOS, NewsFlash is a clean, stable, fast, free, no-clutter and no-nonsense RSS/Atom newsfeed reader for Linux. It syncs new posts quickly and I haven't had any issues with it getting stuck the way I had with Communique (before the latter stopped working entirely!)
It's an app, not a service, so it's not tracking you or inserting ads. That also means there's no web version. But it can sync with various cloud services. (I use it with Nextcloud News)
Built for GNOME, but I've got the Flatpak working just fine on KDE Plasma and LxQt.
Clean and easy to use RSS Reader that integrates very well with GNOME.
Don't like NewsFlash. No card view and other many features like in Fluent Reader. To read full text of article user must every time push shift+C. Not every launch NewsFlash can load feeds - sometimes it breaks. But, in other hand, it simple and clean app for read feeds.
The most modern feel I've found in an RSS reader: it doesn't mangle the pages too much, and makes them enjoyable to read.
