I'm a truck driver who built a privacy-first RSS and webcomic reader

I drive trucks for a living and build web apps in my spare time. RSS Ninja started because I was frustrated — Feedbro is dying, Feedly wants £8/month and sends you algorithmic recommendations, and Google killed their reader years ago.

So I built my own. It's a Firefox/Chrome/Edge extension that does two things cleanly: RSS feeds and webcomics (Comic Ninja is bundled in). No algorithm, no ads, no tracking, no "recommended for you." Just the feeds you choose, presented cleanly.

It's paid (£2.50/month or £25/year or £65 lifetime) with a 14-day free trial. I'm a solo dev so the subscription is what keeps it alive and means it won't get abandoned like every free RSS reader eventually does.

Happy to answer anything.
