App release - Lumio News RSS reader

Wait 5 sec.

Hey everyone. So I just released my RSS reader app to the App Store and wanted to share it with you all to get your feedback. It's called Lumio. I've been working on this on and off for about two and a half years. I used to love the old Pulse news app with the side-scrolling lanes, and nothing since has really scratched that itch for me, so I decided to just make my own. I also wanted an excuse to learn React Native. Full disclosure, I've been a backend engineer for about 10 years and never really built anything on the frontend, and my design skills are honestly pretty bad lol. My first drafts were horrific and what we have now is just a lot of iterations on Claude Design and Figma. Along with this, I also built a small Go crawler as a feed search and discovery service. It was going pretty slowly for a long time, just picking at it here and there. Over the last six months I started using Claude Code, and that sped things up a ton, especially on the UI stuff I'm not good at. I probably wouldn't have released it without it, to be honest. I know there are a lot of vibe-coded RSS readers out there right now, so I get it if people are tired of seeing these. I figured I'd throw mine in the mix anyway, since it can't hurt to have more options. I'm open to any feedback or suggestions, and critical stuff is welcome too. https://lumio.news/ Thanks for checking it out!   submitted by   /u/kis897   to   r/rss [link]   [comments]
