FreshRSS + BPC

Fetch the complete content of articles from paywalled sites seamlessly using FreshRSS with the BPC extension. This innovative solution allows users to access full articles by simply starring them within their FreshRSS feed reader.

Features

• Effortless Article Access: Starring an article prompts the extension to utilize a headless browser that leverages your paywall-bypass extension to fetch the complete article content.
• Streamlined Workflow: Enjoy a smooth experience by following just a few simple steps:
  1. Star the article in FreshRSS.
  2. The extension detects the action and begins fetching.
  3. Refresh to reveal the entire article content without any hassle.
• Compatibility with BPC: This tool supports any site that BPC accommodates, ensuring broad functionality across various content providers.

Requirements

• A Docker instance of FreshRSS must be running.
• An accessible BPC URL is required to facilitate the fetching of content.
