What is it?
Read You is an RSS reader for Android. It lets you subscribe to RSS feeds, import and export subscriptions as OPML files, and receive notifications when new articles arrive. Its interface follows Google's Material You design language, with the app's colors adapted to the device's system theme.
Beyond local feeds, the app can connect to several third-party sync services as data sources, including Fever, Google Reader and FreshRSS, so existing accounts can be used. It also supports multiple accounts, full-text extraction for original articles, readability optimization, and read-aloud of articles.
The project is written in Kotlin on Jetpack Compose and is distributed through GitHub releases, a Telegram channel and F-Droid. Nightly builds are available from GitHub Actions for testing.
