Tweets to RSS free service?

[WST16]

Hi,

Anyone knows of such free services? I used one but it died. There’s a good one called rss.app but quite expensive for my limited (self hosted) use.

Hi,

I'm using this one:

News Explorer - Your news. Anywhere, anytime.

World's first RSS newsreader that runs on all Apple devices, with iCloud based sync and a streamlined reading workflow.

betamagic.nl

It's not free, but it's great.

Thanks. Isn’t this a full fledged RSS service, or am I wrong?
I’m running FreshRSS in docker. All I need is something that can give me a URL for a twitter feed to add to my FreshRSS.

 

[SynoMan]

Hmm, yes, it is... But here you can add Twitter feeds.

Not sure about any other app. Maybe Reeder 5, but it is again a full RSS service.

Reeder 5 is an RSS client as far as I know. I have a client (Lire), that I use to read from my FreshRSS feeds (on Docker). But I want to add twitter feeds to my FreshRSS on the server. Twitter used to allow that but no more. A few services (some are free) did (or are doing) that now. That’s what I’m looking for, free ones.

rss.app is great but the subscription is expensive. You’d give it the twitter URL (e.g. https://twitter.com/synoforum and it’ll generate a URL that I can add to my FreshRSS. And the tweets are fed as RSS. But it’s not free.

 

[SynoMan]

Yes, I understand, but don't know any app of that kind.

Wasn't aware of this one and they don't say anything about prices. How much does it cost?

I still keep a FeedBin account based on the original annual pricing (it's now $5/month for new subscribers). I could try and explain it but this is better

Feedbin is the Best Way to Read Twitter

feedbin.com

There's also a personal rss feed that is created from articles you 'star'. Couple that with an action to star all Twitter articles and you can see them in FreshRSS. I don't do this with Twitter but I do send NAS alert emails to the FeedBin personal email address and feed them back to FreshRSS.

Yep, Reeder 5 is a client with built-in sharing/aggregator that uses iCloud storage. This is my client of choice for FreshRSS.

About $9/month. Not bad if you’re fully using it, but all I need is a few twitter feeds

FeedBin account

Thanks. I’ll take a look.

Here’s their price tiers…

Looked at Feedbin. rss.app looks more polished. But it could be an option if all fails.

Do you know about Lire. Once you use it you won’t go back to Reeder
No free trials unfortunately, but a one time payment of $10.

Reeder ftw. Period. :P

 

[SynoMan]

Or News Explorer. Period

I don’t know about News Explorer but with Reeder 5 (and I have the iOS/iPadOS version). It shows a three liner for a lot of the articles and if I want to read the full thing I’ll need to tap and it takes me to the publisher’s website to read it. I hated that so much. Lire caches the articles.

Reeder 5


Lier

I went through a fair few RSS readers from Palm through iOS and Mac. Eventually I settled on Reeder 1 or 2. With so many going and coming back I found it nice to have some stability. Plus I wanted to try a free app first and not rely on in-app purchases either.

But it's good to hear about other FreshRSS compatible readers Lire should get themselves on this list here GitHub - FreshRSS/FreshRSS: A free, self-hostable aggregator…

Have you enabled Full-text view for feeds? From the Mac app settings for FreshRSS.

From the Mac app settings for FreshRSS.

I don’t have the Mac version. Only the iOS version of Reeder. Can this be done on the iOS version?
