A small tweak to Capy for the end of the weekend - simple unread badges.

It's here. Support for Miniflux in Capy. Let me know what you think!

I've refreshed Mercury Parser's internals significantly. Here's a deep-dive on what's changed for v3!

Hopefully this is better late than never - long press will be included in the next release.
Podcasts will be included as an experimental feature in the next Capy release. Put simply, this feature is meant to make podcasts playable. There are much better fully featured podcast apps if you want more!
Perfect, thanks for confirming!
You can try it out now via the GitHub download.

FreshRSS labels have been an ongoing project in Capy Reader. I added article labels in the latest release. Here's a demo of how it works!
This is fixed in version 2025.12.1182. That should appear in Google Play soon and F-Droid within the week. Let me know if you still see problems after that!
Hey! I've seen this too, I believe it's a regression. I'll take a look.
I've been heads down on performance in Capy Reader. I found one improvement resulting in a 20x speedup for long articles, 100ms down to ~5ms. I've also added a slight fade to complement the faster navigation speed. Demo below.
Closure. The devs confirmed via Discord they're using Flutter for Kagi News. Neat!

Super helpful, thanks! I'll take a look at Feedbro too.
Hey! I don't have any plans currently to build out local feed rules, but if you have some ideas (or links!) to what you like about Feedbro's implementation, feel free to drop them in on GitHub and I'll investigate further.

Good to know! Anything particular like links or just extra, unnecessary content?
The dropdown in settings has the same timing animation in both which is rare for fully native apps. Navigation is handled in the activity "pop up" animation on Android, and nav controller style on iOS in analogous screens. 2/2
Kagi News has the feel of a Flutter app based on a few aspects. This is pure conjecture, and based solely on my curiosity on how apps are built. For starters, there are Material icons on both the iOS and Android apps, Material ripple effects on iOS. 1/2

I was experimenting with Defuddle as the default content parser for Capy Reader, but at the end of the day, Mercury Parser's plugin system remains extremely useful specifically for reading news. Mercury will return as the default starting in 2025.10.1172.
Amazon’s workaround has been to use its LLM models as a kind of translator. It interprets what you say, then hands off the request to deterministic systems — APIs, device controllers, or local Matter connections. The unpredictability of LLMs is a poor fit for smart home control, where reliability and repeatability are crucial. I’ve found this works most of the time, but if the LLM translates a request incorrectly or there’s a gap in the API, it appears that handoff can fail. I assume that’s why my bathroom fan sometimes turns on as requested and why Alexa sometimes insists on creating a routine but then forgets to finish the job.
The essential failure of LLMs in the smart home - where natural language processing should shine - is the best evidence that LLMs as a technology simply may not be able to do the things they’re promised

The latest dev release introduces the "Sunset" theme based on Feedbin's own sepia tone theme. I'm hopeful that this helps personalize the reading experience while still putting the content up front. Let me know what you think!

I ported over Mihon's theming system to Capy Reader tonight. This should also improve the pure black/OLED/E-Ink experience.
It still needs some touch-ups, but you can try it out in the latest nightly build which installs a separate app alongside Capy Reader.
