Future Plans

I have ambitious plans for the future, but there's a lot I have to do before they're realized. Currently the goal is to make this tool functional, and reasonably useful cross-platform.

Phase 1: Minimum Viable Platform

Building a great RSS Desktop Client

At minimum I need to build a functionally complete RSS reader which will include:

Phase 1 issues

Once this phase is complete I will begin preparing releases.

Darknet Support

Censorship resistance matters!
Tor & I2P sites should be first-class citizens and handled accordingly.

This is currently supported via the system-wide daemons, but in the future will use mechanisms like arti-client

Information Management

Categories

Manage feeds and put them in logical groups

  • requires triggers to stay up to date...
  • Can help a great deal with performing as a useful search engine

Strong Multi-media support

Currently I'm able to detect media, handle it differently, but not display it.

Phase 2: Enhancements & Polish

Issues

Information Management

  • Export stories to Markdown/base for knowledge graphs
  • Archiving
    • wayback
    • local archive

Podcasting 2.0

Where possible the podcast namespace should be supported (transcriptions, chapters, etc)

Discovery Service

RSSCAR will use links from the content to discover new feeds. This adds a crucial discovery feature that can help people actually browse the independent web without worrying about censorship.

Phase 3: Dream features

Issues
