BEWARE:

Google added some restrictions to news app and I don't see how Flym (and other RSS aggregators) could comply to that. For instance, Flym cannot provide a "valid and verifiable contact information" for the feed, nor it can assure that "each of the sources must meet News policy requirements".

AS OF TODAY, FLYM UPDATES ON PLAY STORE ARE BLOCKED BY GOOGLE. So I have archived this project in order to clearly show that I won't maintain it anymore. I'm not aware of any official way of publishing an RSS client on PlayStore and do not have motivation to argue with Google. I also do not have time and motivation to maintain Flym only for F-Droid repository, so I simply encourage people to fork if they want to continue the work.

I'm deeply sorry for all the people who like or contributed to Flym and I kindly ask you to not send me angry emails. I created and maintained Flym for free during several years, and since it is open-source you can try to give it a second life if you want to.

  • Auto mark as read when scrolling through posts

    Auto mark as read when scrolling through posts

    I replaced feedly with FeedEx as part of an attempt to shift to open-source apps wherever possible and after the newest update (navigation drawer) I'm very happy about that. Thanks!

    One feature I miss that feedly has is that posts are automatically marked as read when I scroll through them (one by one when they're being scrolled up out of sight). That would be much more convenient than trying to hit the checkbox for each one and often unwillingly opening the post. You could add a switch in the options menu to de-/activate the feature.

    Another problem I had was accidently sliding left/right while reading a post. It would be nice, if one was able to disable this as well.

  • Automatic refresh setting updates feed entries, but not widget

    Automatic refresh setting updates feed entries, but not widget

    I noticed that when feeds are automatically updated the widget is either not being updated at all or lags way behind the main app window listing.

    On my Nexus 4 (Android 4.4.2) I have to do one of:

    • reboot
    • remove the widget and re-add it
    • move between home screens (not 100% sure on this one)

    in order to have the widget display the current entries.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled and find that the widget will update initially, but not on subsequent schedules/update windows. I attribute this to the same "workaround" mentioned above where I remove and add back the widget.

  • per-feed expire time

    per-feed expire time

    I have almost 10000 items. That's slow 😠 Looking at my feeds I see that along with usual news feeds injecting lots of items I also have some oldish small feeds to read later. So for me there's no good choice for "Time interval to keep entries". To fix this there may be a per-feed setting or another way to limit entries pollution: by number of entries What do you think?

  • All feeds get the same name when first fetching posts

    All feeds get the same name when first fetching posts

    Thanks for this awesome app!

    I imported around 60 (yeah, that might not have been the brightest idea …) feeds via opml today and after I first updated them they now all have the name of the first feed (which incidentally was a tumblr-blog called „pancake pancake pancake“, so I have about 60 feeds with that name now ^______^).

    Another related issue: I seem to be unable to delete all the feeds to try again (I'm not going to do that one by one, a Select All or tick box option would be cool). When I delete the app and/or only the Application Data the feed list get's reloaded when reinstalling/reopening. Why is that?

    Interesting: I just deleted two of the feeds by hand and imported the opml again and the feeds are now named correctly. So I just need a way to delete them all …

    Update to API 30 and use new APIs for fullscreen/system bars

    API 30 deprecates a ton of things including the way to do fullscreen apps underneath the status bar/navigation bar. This updates the app to work on API 30 and adds if/else for these new inset/window APIs.

    Also fixes a crash when swiping is disabled on entry fragment.

  • Updates to Finnish and Swedish translations. Strings improvements.

    Updates to Finnish and Swedish translations. Strings improvements.

    • Changed English strings to use 'Wi-Fi' consistently. Before, there was a mixture of 'wifi', 'Wifi' and 'Wi-Fi'. 'Wi-Fi' is the registered trademark and it's what Google seems to use at least in the Settings and Drive apps.
    • Changed the wording of the new image fetch mode setting to be a bit simpler and more in line with Google's design guidelines. "Load images automatically" used to be a setting in Mozilla/Firefox, so maybe some users are familiar with it (it's since been removed from the Firefox UI).

  • Roundrobin sorting option

    Roundrobin sorting option

    It would be great if there was an option to sort the feeds in a Round Robin way.

    So basically if I have posts from A, B and C instead of sorting newest to oldest you would sort them like this:

    A1, B1, C1, A2, B2, C2...

    The reason I would love this feature is because I have some feeds which rarely get published (e.g. Arch Linux news) and some that are filling up my news feed (e.g. Stack Exchange favorite tags). It gets annoying having to go through 5-6 Stack Overflow posts in a row to get to something from another source, and I also never get to see any posts from Arch Linux since they are very far down the list.

    With this new sort order I would be able to read posts from all my sources regardless of how many each post.

    I've installed Flym and added two rss feeds. Today there was a big update for one feed with over 20 new items. However Flym only displays the first not and not the 19 others as new.

    Other RSS readers like Feeder or Brief display it correctly.
