Haha, funny to see this pop up on my ttrss instance on a vps that has been up for 2624 days straight (I haven't upgraded it ever, Debian 7.8). I can tell you that it works well, but I've been meaning to write my own for awhile.
mine is a slackware 14.2 with 1061 days. I turned off the auto-updating of the ttrss instance a few years ago as I intend to reinstall it somewhere else so this news is very disappointing.
I'm still running my 2006-era fork of ttrss on a VM that's so old I'm ashamed to say what it is. I had to stick a proxy in front of it 10+ years ago so it could handle modern SSL. I can't imagine using the web without it.
I ran TTRSS many years ago after Google Reader went away. There was one particular feature I really liked that people kept making forum threads asking about, and the maintainer would post angry rants in reply.
Eventually he said if one more person asks, he would just remove the feature altogether. Of course, that happened, and my enjoyment of the software was reduced.
Nobody needs "brilliant jerks" like that. Hopefully they've developed a better attitude in the years since.
That was one of the reasons I loved TT-RSS. People would ask inane questions and then get all put out when they got called on it.
I'm not sure why world seems to think all Open Source Software must have maintainers that treat everyone super delicately. I realise a lot of Open Source software is maintained by businesses these days, so of course they treat every ticket with "Yes sir of course sir 3 bags full sir" but I really found fox's attitude harsh but fair.
People HAD asked thousands of times, I understood his frustration. No one would read any previous threads, forge on in with the same question AGAIN and then got all sulky when it was pointed out to them.
What's wrong with that? Why must every open source maintainer be a sycophant towards their users? It's so bizarre to me that it's what's expected and everyone gets all "He's so horrible!" when they're not pandered to.
This was the only RSS reader where I found that there were good native clients available for both mobile (TTRSS-Reader) and desktop (liferea).
As I really need the synchronization, and the offline reading capabilities of native clients, I wonder if there's any other software that does this right now.
Gosh this has really hit me hard. I love TTRSS. There is no other RSS reader that has filters like it. Means I can ingest massive amounts of RSS but use filters to surface only the things I am interested in.
Wow.
I mean it's open source but seesh. RIP to one of my most beloved bits of software.

Looking at recent threads on the forums: No.
I do handle annoying feature requests on my open source project by just ignoring them.
This was the only RSS reader where I found that there were good native clients available for both mobile (TTRSS-Reader) and desktop (liferea).

Hope someone will continue the development of this excellent rss reader
