OPML Import
Selfoss supports importing OPML files. Find the OPML export in the old application, it is usually located somewhere in settings. Then visit the page https://yourselfossurl.com/opml and upload it there.
APPS
Two third party apps are available for Android: Selfoss and Reader For Selfoss.
DEVELOPMENT
Selfoss uses composer for installing external libraries. When you clone the repository you have to issue composer install to retrieve the external sources.
For the client side, you will also need JavaScript dependencies installed by calling npm install in the public directory.
If you want to create a package with all the dependencies bundled, you will additionally require grunt. After installing it, execute npm install in the selfoss directory to obtain the required tasks. Then you can run grunt command to produce a zipball. As a bonus, you can also use grunt install as a shortcut for installing the selfoss dependencies described above.
Every patch is expected to adhere to our coding style, which is checked automatically by Travis. You can install the checkers locally either with your package manager or by calling utils/install-phars.sh, and then run the checks using grunt check before submitting a pull request.
