I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well.

It gets relegated to playing Fraggle Rock and Bluey on repeat for my kiddo these days, but I am absolutely in love with the software.

What are some other FOSS gems that are a better experience UX/UI-wise than their proprietary counterparts?

EDIT: Autocorrect turned something into "smaller" instead of what I meant it to be when I wrote this post, and I can't remember what I meant for it to say so it got axed instead.

Does it load articles into a unified view or do I have to deal with each site in a browser view? This second feature is what I am after and I have not been able to find it in an OSS app. Inoreader does it and they have a free tier, so that's what I'm using at the moment.

It downloads the html file as markdown I believe (Or whatever format it uses to store it) and displays it to you in it's own reader. From the article you can a button to redirect you to the actual site.

Having offline access to the articles is the main reason I use RSS over social media or simply visiting the websites.
