Hi there, I’m quite new to this digital hygiene thing. I try to avoid apps on my phone that tracks useless data for their initial purpose. How do you guys read news ? Would love a “respectful” app that doesn’t track too much data, but I’m open to any solution. Would like to browse international and french news.
NetNewsWire supports multiple methods for accounts – local, various cloud services, and self-hosted. And it is free. I highly recommend someone interested in RSS check the app out and subscribe to a few feeds.
Looking for some starter feeds to sub? Check out Feedspot’s RSS directory.
Hosting your own FreshRSS instance is totally optional, and is absolutely a proper option for someone privacy-focused. It doesn’t have to be a big, scary monster – simple options exist, e.g., using fly.io to host FreshRSS, as someone wrote about on this blog.
