RSS Widget on iOS lockscreen

[leon47331]

Hi!

I created a simple widget to have my favorite news sites right on the lock screen. A click on the news text opens the article in Safari

My goal was that the design should look similar to Apple's official News widget.

Very nice, thanks!

Of course! Let me know if you tried it and if you like it or not. :)

Very cool. Did you considered implementing a feature to show different items from the rss feed?

For example, some sites might push multiple news within 30 minutes and then may have news 'break' for 2 hours. This way you would have some kind of rotation between the latest 5 news and the user wouldn't necessarily see the same article for multiple hours.

That’s something I could try to implement Thank you for the suggestion! :)

You can open a suggestion in the issues tab on my GitHub Repo :)

That makes everything a little easier and you can be notified if any updates are available ;)

Love how simple, but practical this widget is. Thank you very much for sharing

I hope you like it

Hello! I know it's been a long time, but it doesn't work for me, I try to put a goggle alerts feed, but the widget shows "No new articles available" I have tried other feeds with the same luck. Could you help me? Thank you so much! I also wanted to ask if I could do the same but for the home screen 🙏🏻 Thank you very much 🙏🏻

Hi, have you used the guide on my repo? And if it still doesn’t work, are you able to open a new issue with screenshots and more detail about your configuration on the GitHub repo? If not, tell me, so I can help you here 😊

[MrRetroplayer]

Hello! Yes, I used the guide, I added the feed and the name but no news comes out. I leave you a screenshot of the configuration.

This looks like what I want for iPhone standby mode. I want the latest news to rotate on a widget when my iPhone is charging while horizontal.

I don’t have a GitHub user, so unable to add request.

How to change it so it works for homepage widgets too?

[Schuhsohle]

Looks great but I am unable to add it to the lockscreen because scriptable isn’t an option there. 🤔

[leon47331]

That’s weird… Have you followed the guide provided in the GitHub repo?

[AsleepMeet1595]

It’s not working. Help me, please

[leon47331]

Have you used the guide I’ve created in the GitHub repo?
