AldusRSS

Social networks have gradually replaced RSS as the primary way to access news: by remaining within a closed ecosystem, publishers lose control of their audience. AldusRSS returns to an older idea—RSS—that drives real traffic to news outlets: each article links to the original, and "Read the original article" opens the source's website, not an internal copy.

Unlike traditional RSS readers, which display all sources with the same card template or keep them separate like inboxes to be emptied, AldusRSS behaves like a real newspaper: it draws from multiple outlets and organizes them by topic, not by source.

HOW IT WORKS

• Add the RSS feeds you're interested in (just the website address: we'll try to find the feed ourselves)
• Each article is automatically sorted into a section — Current Affairs, Economy, Sports, Technology, Culture
• "Front Page" compiles the most relevant articles from all sources, with configurable priorities for each
• Each section has its own editorial identity: masthead, typography, and colors designed specifically for it, not a single, uniform template
• Night mode with dedicated dark themes
• Interface in Italian and English

NO UNREAD NOTIFICATIONS

The newspaper updates itself. You open it whenever you want, not when a red counter tells you to.

PRIVACY

No account, no tracking, no ads. Your feeds and preferences remain on your device only. The only permission required is internet access, which is necessary to download the feeds.

The name pays homage to Aldus Manutius, the Venetian printer who invented italic type and the paperback book in the late 15th century, bringing editorial care and readability to every page released by his Aldine Press.
