On November 1st 2025 I’m going to dismantle the entirety of infrastructure that powers tt-rss.org, cgit, this forum, and other related sites. The reasons for this are many but the tl;dr is that I no longer find it fun to maintain public-facing anything, be it open source projects or websites.

Try a good one such as Inoreader or NewsBlur, you’ll never look back
