Trying to find an alternative to Google News that isn’t a RSS reader (tried Feeder and Feedly for a few days, hated both, may be stuck bouncing between sites)
Considering Notesnook or Standard Notes as an alternative to Google Keep.
Edit: Swapped to Notesnook. 😁
Edit Again: Debating if swapping from Google Authenticator is worth the hassle.
Try giving RSS reader a fair chance. Most website do have a functioning RSS or atom feed, its often not advertised. Switch the view to page source and search for RSS or atom or feed.
It might be tedious to setup but the end result is worth it.
Not all websites send full articles over RSS, but you can always open those in a browser.
Is there a RSS reader you prefer? I’m looking at the guide and I’m not seeing one that’s available for web AND Android. It’s either one or the other. Perhaps I should just use Feeder (Android only) and not bother with web?
I’m currently using RSSGuard. I also have used and liked using NewsFlash and Akregator. I recommend trying all three if you can. Fiddle with the settings to get the desired look and experience, they are flexible apps.
Only RSS option that is on web and android/iphone is either through nextcloud news.
Or try host your own tiny RSS or fresh RSS instance or find a public one you can use? Most RSS reader will let you login with them.
I prefer to read news and blogs on my computer so I have not tested mobile apps in any way.

Aegis and Vaultwarden are both awesome Google Auth alternatives and both super easy to backup.
And you can actually possess your TOTP secrets this way.
Very worth the effort.

I am using https://github.com/39aldo39/Flym-DecSync. It is not updated recently. But it is the best I got from Fdroid after trying almost all.
Personally I use freshRSS and pair it with Readably on Android.

Alright, thank you for sharing, I’ll take a look at the ones your suggested.
It’s not the same but I’m using harmonic for hacker news, it’s recommend you give it a go
Thanks, I’ll look into for sure.
