Hey all,
I've been getting super burned out by news and even Reddit lately. Too much politics, outrage, and just general noise. I still like keeping up with stuff, but I wanted a calmer way to do it.
So I ended up building my own app: Wabii - Daily News Detox. (The name comes from wabi-sabi, the Japanese idea of simplicity and finding peace in imperfection. Felt fitting.)
Here's what it does:
There's also a little hidden trick: you can switch to a "slick view" that's way more visual with big images, inline video autoplay, smooth scrolling. It's especially good for Youtube & Reddit content like photos & videos, while the standard mode keeps things minimal and distraction free.
I've been using it daily and it's honestly made feeds enjoyable again for me. Since this is r/rss, figured some of you might vibe with it too. It's free for the first 2 weeks if you wanna try it out, after that I'm planning to make it $9.99.

I'd really appreciate any feedback. Things that feel off, features you wish it had, or ideas to make it more useful for feed nerds like us.

Here's what it does:
- Pulls in RSS, Reddit, YouTube, and Podcasts all in one place
- Lets you block keywords so you don't get sucked into things you don't care about
- Has a reader mode with text-to-speech, so you can listen instead of read
- iOS share sheet support, so you can save stuff straight into the app
