Pulp provides a workflow focused on reading through an excessive number of RSS feeds with the goal of regularly marking all read, resting in a state akin to an empty inbox.
Contributing to quickly parsing excessive articles:
- Marking read while scrolling.
- Ensuring full article titles and longer excerpts are visible in the article list.
- A large mobile-friendly “mash roughly here” button to mark the list read and continue.
- Minimising everything else, in both UI clutter and functionality.
Complimenting Pulp being a bucket that you’re aiming to keep empty are the abilities to share (via Mastodon, Telegram, Reddit and mail) and save (to Wallabag, Nextcloud Bookmarks, Nextcloud Notes and Iotas).
The goal here isn’t to be a typical RSS reader,
This is free and open source software.
