FreshRSS Plugin for Sidefy is here

FeatureFreshRSS

Seamlessly integrate your FreshRSS feeds into the Sidefy timeline.

We’ve recently added a handy new plugin to Sidefy: FreshRSS.

If you use FreshRSS to manage your subscriptions, you can now sync today’s articles directly to your Sidefy timeline and view them alongside your calendar events.

Highlights

  • Fetch today’s articles from FreshRSS and display them chronologically on your timeline.
  • Automatically assign unique colors based on feed names for easy visual identification.
  • Click any article on the timeline to jump directly to the original webpage.
  • Built-in 5-minute smart caching ensures timely updates while minimizing server load.

Setup Guide

  1. First, set an API Password in FreshRSS under “Administration -> Profile -> API management” (note: this is separate from your login password).
  2. Enter your server URL (e.g., https://rss.example.com/api/greader.php), username, and the API password in the Sidefy plugin settings.
  3. Your articles will automatically appear on your timeline after saving the settings.

The plugin is now available in the plugin gallery. Feel free to give it a try.
