LamaFeed — RSS, made for scrolling.

★ Signature Feature

News that flows like
your favorite app.

Reel turns your feed into a full-screen, swipe-up experience. Each story is a single beautiful card — read, save, share, or move on with a flick.

Vertical swiping — like the apps you already love, but for actual journalism.
One tap to read the full article in your browser when you want the deep dive.
Atmospheric backgrounds generated from the article's image. It's just nicer.
No algorithm deciding what's important. Just chronological, just yours.

FAQ

Good questions.

Everything worth knowing before you install.

Honestly? It exists because nothing else scratched the itch. Most RSS readers feel like they were designed in 2012, others lock the good stuff behind subscriptions, and almost none of them have a Reel-style swipe view. LamaFeed is what happens when one person wants a modern, beautiful, functional reader they can fully customize — and just builds it.

Yes, completely free. No ads, no premium tier, no "trial period." If you want to support the project, a tip on Ko-fi means the world. ☕

That's the plan. If future features end up costing real money to operate (like cloud sync), we'll figure out a fair way to handle it — probably an optional pro tier. The core experience is meant to stay free for everyone.

Honest answer: cost. Apple charges developers ~€99 every year, just to keep an app on the App Store. Google charges a one-time ~€25 fee. For a free indie project, that math is rough. If LamaFeed takes off and there's real demand for an iOS version, we'll absolutely revisit it. A desktop version is already in the works.

Two easy ways: (1) Just paste any website's URL into the app — auto-detect handles the rest. (2) Search "[publication name] RSS feed" on Google. There are also curated RSS feed libraries online (try searching "RSS feed directory") if you want to discover new sources.

We only see what publishers put in their RSS feed. Some magazines deliver headlines and images, others deliver text only. It's their call, not ours — and we'd rather show you exactly what's there than fabricate something to fill the space.

Same reason as the images — publishers control how much article text ends up in their RSS feed. Most magazines run on ad revenue from their own websites, which is totally fair, and that's why many only share excerpts. The good news: a single tap opens the full article in your phone's browser, exactly as the publisher intended.

Yep, full-on vibe-coded. Built one feature at a time, often on weekends, with a heavy dose of "let me try this and see what happens." The result might not be textbook engineering, but it's made with care and obsessed over.

Awesome, please tell us! Drop a detailed email to lamafeed@emunator.com — what happened, what you expected, screenshots if helpful. Real feedback shapes the roadmap.

The kindest way is a coffee on Ko-fi ☕ — but honestly, telling a friend, leaving a review, or sending feedback all help just as much. This is a passion project, and any kind of support makes it easier to keep going.
