Plenary is a modern RSS reader, News aggregator and offline reader app for Android. App serves two main purposes: 1. Subscribe to any RSS feed & get updates from those feeds automatically. 2. Download any article offline & read it later anytime.
I was casually discussing the RSS feeds of one of the popular news sites with one of my friends. I added that feed in the aggregator I was using back then. I was going to catch a flight that night and I thought I'd save the entire feed offline so that I can catch up during my flight. Well that's when I realised there is no way I could do that. Six months later, I launched Plenary on Play store to solve the exact same problem.
Plenary is a modern RSS reader (RSS feed reader), News aggregator and offline reader app. I'll start off with an example to get you going.
If you are a Product hunter on Product hunt, You can just go to `Add new feed -> Recommended Feeds -> Startups -> Product hunt` and subscribe. You'll get the latest feed automatically at your preferred interval with notifications. You can also save feed items offline of the product you like to read later anytime.
You can create a category "Startup news" and subscribe to TechCrunch, HackerNews under the same category to get all latest startups news from Product Hunt, TechChrunch and HackerNews at the same place automatically. Isn't it cool?. This can be extended to any category and any website that provides RSS feeds.
Here are the other key highlights of the app
