Winds: A Beautiful Open Source RSS & Podcast App
Blog post from Stream
Winds was an innovative open-source application designed to transform how users interact with RSS feeds and podcasts by offering a personalized and integrated content consumption experience, though it is now sunset and unsupported. Developed with Stream's technology, Winds provided a seamless platform for discovering, reading, and sharing content, allowing users to manage podcasts and RSS feeds within a single interface and facilitating easy migration from other services. Its open-source nature enabled continuous evolution through global developer collaboration, while its personalized content curation was powered by advanced machine learning algorithms. Built using modern technologies like React, Redux, and Node.js, and supported by partners such as Algolia and AWS, Winds aimed to redefine digital content engagement by prioritizing openness, integration, and personalization.
