What would be the perfect desktop RSS application?

I've recently gotten back into one of my projects where I'm trying to build an #RSS reader with Rust & Iced
Things are coming together nicely since that last post...
- Items are now properly stored in a DB and actually retrieved for display
- I've written a module that parses description/content areas to build the layout (this was HARD!)
- It seems to work well with many feeds I'm testing out.

I really just need to get to the grind of completing it and adding the necessary features. But I'd love feedback from fellow open web enjoyers.

If you have any thoughts on must-have features I'd love to hear them.
My current dream list is:
- First-class #Tor & #I2P support with other options configurable (**I would really like suggestions on how to handle this well)
- Full text search (to be useful as a personal search engine)
- Import from FreshRSS (for entirely selfish reasons)
- Discovery features: the plan is to setup a way to discover feeds that your feeds link to.

For people who are monitoring the outages in Iran, I encourage you to read through this thread of observations about #I2P router health in the region. https://bsky.app/profile/np-tokumei.net/post/3lsdh7lwby22i

Thank you so much to Phong for continuing to maintain this resource and for providing more insight into this outage.

#diva has created a new I2Pd software release within #docker (Version 2.57).

See here https://social.diva.exchange/@social/114624134227954474

to @social and @i2p

More:
#diva is also reseed service provider for the #I2P network and is publishing #docker container versions of I2P (and also #tor). diva is also in 2025 a sponsored #OSS partner of docker.

My blog is available on #Tor #onion

But also on #I2P eepsite

The attack on the #I2P reseed servers of #diva (reseed.diva.exchange) failed again. It is a simple #DDoS attack coming from servers in #Turkmenistan. #diva remains online all the time - also for all potential I2P users in Turkmenistan.

The use of #I2P in Turkmenistan is illegal - which is silly. #diva is operated in #Switzerland - #freedom in all aspects, #privacy and #education are key principles.

Aujourd'hui nous célébrons le droit du travail et les luttes sociales.

Quelques rappels :

--> Le capitalisme est un système qui priorise le profit sur les personnes. Il conduit à une inégalité générale et à la destruction

--> La censure numérique est un outil utilisé par ceux en pouvoir pour contrôler l'information et supprimer les voix dissidentes

--> Nous sommes confrontés actuellement à un cirque politique et médiatique clownesque. Peu importe le bord politique, nous devons rester lucide et continuer à défendre une vision de justice globale

--> Vous pouvez contribuer et être acteur d'un internet plus libre, plus juste et beau .

Trying Ubuntu 25.04 in my daily driver, so far just missing some repos that don't have a version for Plucky yet (Puppet, Libreoffice, I2P). Other applications seem to work with their noble version (even Puppet)

I was curious about ZeroNet again today. ZeroNet was a #P2P web project from the 2010s along similar lines to I2P (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2P) and #Tor hidden services. The idea of hosting dynamic webpages in a completely P2P fashion, like torrents, remains super cool and appealing to me. In fact, at one point the #BitTorrent company had a similar proposal (https://www.bittorrent.com/blog/2014/12/10/project-maelstrom-the-internet-we-build-next/).

The ZeroNet website (https://zeronet.io/) is still up, but the project hasn't been updated in five years as per the GitHub repo (https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet). Someone was maintaining a fork at some point, and at other times I heard that ZeroNet was (now?) insecure, although I know no details. Certainly anything P2P isn't anonymous by default.

I found this question (https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet/issues/2749) about the creator of ZeroNet. Disturbingly, this article (https://www.newsbtc.com/news/sam-maloney-creator-of-morphis-and-dpush-shot-dead-by-london-police/) about a different developer killed by the police under unusual circumstances was shared.

My impression was that ZeroNet actually worked (works?) to some extent. Why aren't projects like this being funded? We need censorship-resistant ways of communicating online, after all.

I find networking tech fascinating, and I like overlay networks. I've recently found out about #I2P and it seems interesting but I'm not quite sure what a typical use case is. Anyone on the Fediverse want to enlighten me as to how they personally use it?
