For India - def scraping The Hindu or Indian Express would be good !

Please consider if possible :))

Added in v0.9.0

Subscriptions >custom > RSS

Currently for India only two channels could be selected -; how do we add more - sources too little.

There isn't a way to add custom sources

Can't you implement feed search by name/site and have the option for the person to add it manually?

Each site needs to be scraped differently, so I don't think its possible to have that option.
RSS feeds is an alternative, but not all sites support it. There are already apps that support RSS feeds hence I have no plans of adding it.

Ah yes, I had misunderstood, that the app was an RSS feed reader, the only problem for me is that these readers do not support automatic translation

can you add then please.

Since this thread didn't help me answer my question I'm gonna post it here: Is custom feed support something you want to support in the future? Like from a RSS feed URL or importing OPML files

from raven.

@D3SOX
Thanks for the question.
TLDR: Yes, custom feeds might be supported in the future.

When this issue was created I didn't have a plan to support custom feeds as for extracting the full article - scraping from the source would still be needed (RSS feeds dont have the whole content).

But a few days ago I came across smort.io which could help extract whole content. That would mean I just have to scrape smort and not the individual custom sources.

However I think depending only on smort might cause issues (it may go down etc). So I am planning to add a fallback first in case that happens, after which custom sources could be added.

Hope it makes sense // Let me know if you any other ideas.

@ksh-b Thanks for the detailed insights. I think supporting custom feeds without the full content is okay at first when there's a button to open it in the browser or an In-App-WebView.

The previous RSS readers I've used have basic support for fetching full contents locally:

• https://github.com/spacecowboy/Feeder
• https://github.com/msasikanth/Twine

Having something like smort.io as fallback would be a great addition.

Great! Should I open a separate issue for OPML import/export support?

from raven.

And I can't seem to add feed URLs because it seems to load indefinitely

from raven.

Yes. You can open separate issues for both.
The feed url in your screenshot doesnt load for me as well.
OPML support might take time.

http://pointieststick.com/feed works with morss though

from raven.

There are sites like https://www.haz.de/ which release every article for a few hours and after that period they are out behind a paywall.

There the scraper would be awesome to scrape the whole article.

And I would like to see heise.de as the biggest German it site in the supported sources too.

Scraping 'Times Of India' would be nice.
