Kindly RSS, a self-hostable RSS app designed for e-ink devices
In the last few weeks I've been working on a RSS application designed to be used in e-ink devices such as Kindle, through the device's web browser. It's a self-hostable app optimized for running on low-end hardware (such as Raspberry Pi, I actually run it on a 3b model). The project is in its early stages of development. It is usable, but you may (and probably will :P) encounter bugs from time to time. I did it for myself (I like to read at night before going to sleep but I don't like to use my phone at that time). I thought people could find it useful so I worked on it a little bit more to…
In plain words
Kindly RSS is a self-hosted RSS reader application designed for e-ink devices like Kindle, accessed through the device's web browser. It runs on low-end hardware such as Raspberry Pi and is optimized for reading feeds without using a smartphone. The project is in early development and can be deployed via Docker or by compiling source code. Users may encounter bugs, but the application is functional for those seeking a distraction-free reading experience on e-ink displays.

I thought people could find it useful so I worked on it a little bit more to publish it. At the moment it can only be run by downloading and compiling the source code or using the docker image (in the repo and the landing page there is a curl that executes the script to run the container, manual instructions can be found in the repo's README).

I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…

i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.
