The RSS Dashboard plugin transforms your vault into a comprehensive feed reader supporting RSS, Atom, JSON feeds, YouTube channels and podcasts. Browse articles in a clean reader view, save them as markdown files with customizable templates and organize feeds into folders with tags. The plugin includes a curated Discover page with hand picked feeds across categories. YouTube videos play embedded, podcasts have an integrated audio player and articles convert to markdown automatically. OPML import/export lets you manage subscriptions easily. Auto refresh keeps content current, while filtering and sorting help you navigate large feed collections.
Beta release 2.2.0-beta.4
ℹ️ Important: Migration Steps Required Before Updating to Beta 4
Hey everyone,
Beta 4 reverts the storage backend from SQLite back to JSON (data.json). If you're currently on Beta 3, please follow these steps before updating to avoid losing your feeds and articles:
Before updating:
- Open RSS Dashboard Settings
- Go to Backup & Restore
- Click Export Settings to JSON and save the file somewhere safe
After updating to Beta 4:
- Install the update (your old SQLite data will no longer be read)
- Go to Settings → Backup & Restore
- Click Import Settings from JSON and select the file you exported
- This will restore all your feeds, articles, folders, tags, and settings.
Why the change?
We originally planned to ship SQLite as part of 2.2.0, but during beta testing we ran into cross-device sync issues, sqlite performs a full binary rewrite on every save, doesn't support merging, and sync conflicts can corrupt the database entirely. These are fundamental problems that need a proper solution, not a quick fix.
We've decided to hold off on SQLite and revisit it for a future major release (3.0.0) where we can do it right.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you all for your patience and support through the beta. Your testing and feedback have been incredibly valuable.
