Philosophy
|
|
----------
|
|
RSS Guard tends to be independent software. It's free, it's open-source. RSS Guard will never depend on other services - this includes online news aggregators like Feedly, The Old Reader and others.
|
|
|
|
That's why RSS Guard will never integrate those services unless someone else codes support for them on his own. Remember, RSS Guard supports online synchronization via MySQL/MariaDB or you can use Dropbox to synchronize SQLite data storage. |
