Show HN: Zebra – Social Feed Reader

by thorio on 10/6/22, 3:08 PM with 6 comments

I build zebra - a cross-over of rss feed reader and micro publishing service. The idea is to make following rss feeds a much more seamless experience and and deeply integrate with a set of social media features.

I would call it a community around everyone's media diet and want to create a place for exchange around daily updates about all kinds of topics people are interested in. Making users micro-columnists in their personal newsroom.

Essentially you can like and comment on everything you see. zebra tries to enrich rss contents as much as possible and has different representations for the types of sources (forums, articles, blog posts, etc.). It's completely written in flutter and has it's own nodejs backend to collect and serve both feeds and community contents.

I'd love to hear all kinds of questions, feedback and will soon release zebra officially on Android Play store after leaving open testing. Publishing an iOS version would be easy, it's just, that i currently lack the necessary hardware.

    This is not showing up in the Australian Google Play Store. Shame, I'd love to try it.
