A Better FreshRSS Experience

Admin Reading time: 2 minutes

I've finally got FreshRSS looking somewhat pleasant after a long stretch of not being happy with any of its default themes. I don't know what it is about them — a lot of people say they're just ugly. I'm not sure I agree, but there's definitely something going on that has always had me thinking, these could be better.

And it wouldn't take much.

What I've arrived at is a combination of settings, theme enhancement and plug‑in, just enough to make things easier on the eyes. So, go ahead and apply it to your own instances, and let me know what you think.

And by all means, submit your own improvements of themes. If you think you can do better, well, let's see it.

Looking at this and wondering where all the traffic is coming from.

I mean, I have one post, and it's a quote. That result is in Google, but to be honest the visits started before the site went live.

Better blogging is around the corner, BTW. I'm just getting things sorted and whatnot, and was just curious after glancing at my dashboard.
