RSSence was created in response to a request on r/SomebodyMakeThis, bringing to life the idea of a beautifully animated, fullscreen RSS visualizer. Inspired by classic RSS screensavers from the past, RSSence transforms your screen into a dynamic news hub, displaying headlines in a visually engaging way—think flipping cards, smooth transitions, and modern design. It’s an open-source, free tool designed for anyone who wants to bring their favorite feeds to life, whether on a TV, monitor, or secondary display.
