Replacing Three Social Media Apps with One Using Skyscraper

Skyscraper is an app that supports Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, and standard.site in a single app that runs natively on IOS, Mac, Apple Watch, and more. But can it replace all the different apps I use for these purposes?

@fastfinge I bet it can't replace lire for the RSS side. Lire's full-text extraction and customizability is unmatched.

@amir As I mentioned in the article, it can if you use miniflux. Otherwise, no.

@fastfinge Right, but Miniflux itself isn't enough to provide full-text extraction for feeds which display a couple of lines per article.

@amir Yes, it is. Miniflux supports full-text extraction, and does a better job than Lire. Especially on RSS feeds that block Lire's extractor.

@fastfinge Oh really? I have seen it fail with a few websites where lire succeeds. Maybe I should take a second look after a few years. Wired, in particular, is something worth testing.

@fastfinge And has Miniflux been set up on your server? I ask this because I can't set it up like that because I don't have a server. And the Iranian ones are mostly crap.

@amir Yes, I use my own selfhosted miniflux. It's the only way to get around websites that use cloudflare to get full article text.

@fastfinge That's the best of both worlds!
