FWIW, I found TechHut's Jellyfin YouTube tutorials super easy to follow when I was just starting out. He also has a video on FStab which you might eventually find handy. I haven't watched this stuff in long time though so it might be outdated. https://www.youtube.com/c/TechHutHD
It doesn't matter if you're doing OSS or looking for venture capital, you need to sell your project/product to users. In an OSS project, prospective users need to understand why they should invest their time. You always need an elevator pitch or one liner. In github, the elevator pitch is the "About" section on the right hand side of the page (on desktop).
If you want to see what a good sales job looks like for Open Source, check out hoarder. It's one of the best I've seen and certainly one of the main reasons it has received over 13 thousand stars in about one year.
I don’t do it for privacy, although that is a benefit.
I use RSS for convenience (all sources like news, YT, link aggregators, etc. are in the same place) and also to escape “the algorithm“. With RSS, I am in more control over what I see rather than what the Apple/Google news algorithm wants me to see.
Also it helps to prevent doom scrolling. When you’re at the end of your feed, that’s it. There’s no more. You find something else to do.
Does anyone know about the team in this project? I’m concerned that development stalls after a little while when things get hard or they get tired of it.
For me, customizing a new browser is a heavy lift so I don’t usually jump headfirst into browsers without first knowing a little about the team’s background.
Mentioning Five Filters because no one has mentioned it yet. It will pull the full text of the articles and present them to you in your RSS reader (or FreshRSS) so you don't have to navigate to a browser to read the article. Everything takes place in your native RSS app. I use it as a docker container. Actually, I create a stack with FreshRSS and Five Filters in the stack.
Outside on the BBQ lol
