Description News feeds reader through a web interface.
Prerequisite None

Security Notes This service is secure except if you don't check the website certificate properly (like on Android, see below).


Access

Using a Web Browser

You can connect to the web interface using the following URL:

https://gossip.duckcorp.org/

Using the Android Application

You need the official ttrss application, see:

http://tt-rss.org/redmine/projects/tt-rss-android/wiki

(two other unofficial applications exist, but they don't work well)

You need to connect once through your web browser to activate the web API, which is needed by the Android application: look in Preferences -> Advanced -> Enable external API.

Then you can configure your application:

  • URL: https://gossip.duckcorp.org/
  • Login/Password
  • Accept any SSL certificate: true (unfortunately managing certificates in Android is a nightmare :-/)
  • HTTP authentication Login/Password: repeat Login/Password

Sharing News

You can share interesting news:

  • by mail (but there is no link to your address book)
  • by URL: these ones are public, meaning there is no need to authenticate to use them, so you can give them away to anybody
