site: review — Folo (graduate from find)
Fact-check against folo.is, its pricing page, and the GitHub README corrected the license (AGPL-3.0, not GPL-3.0) and added mobile apps, real pricing tiers, and the self-hosting caveat the find omitted.

Fact-check (mandatory, against tintd.app, its /download page, the Mac App Store listing, Product Hunt, and PeerPush): the find held up on the core mechanic (auto color + icon by folder name, Folder Watcher for new folders) but undersold the rest — added bulk editing, emoji support, custom-image icons, one-click revert to default, an 11,000+ icon library, Finder right-click integration, and on-device-only processing. **Notable correction**: Tintd 2 is a relaunch, and the storefronts disagree — the direct tintd.app download is the real Tintd 2 (build 2.0.0, macOS 14+, one-time "Lifetime" from $9.99, no subscription), while the Mac App Store listing is still the older Tintd (v1.3.4, macOS 13.0+, $0.99/mo subscription or $19.99 one-time IAP) — Apple's review queue hadn't caught up to v2 as of this writing. The review flags this explicitly and points readers to the direct download. Maker: indie developer @jbbbeau (Oniri Inc.), Tintd 2 launched on Product Hunt 2026-05-28.

Hero: no hero on the find, so pulled a real product screenshot from the GitHub README (github.com/RSSNext/Folo) — the "AI At Your Fingertips" panel showing the article timeline next to the AI-generated nightly digest — richer and more on-topic than the site's plain logo og:image.

Category: reading (new — RSS/feed-reading apps didn't have a home in the existing category set). Topics carried from the find (macos-apps, ai).
|
||||
Fact-check (mandatory, against folo.is, its /pricing page, and github.com/RSSNext/Folo): the find's core description held up (24+ source types, Vibe Read AI triage, briefly #1 trending). **Corrections**: license is AGPL-3.0, not GPL-3.0 as the find said (the network clause matters — hosting a modified fork as a service obligates sharing changes); despite the open-source license, the README gives no self-hosting instructions, so the full experience (shared 1.3M-feed index, AI credits) runs through RSSNext's hosted service, not a DIY deploy. Added: native iOS/Android apps (find only credited "a web app and a desktop client"), 38.6k GitHub stars, desktop v1.10.0 (June 2026), and — most useful omission — actual pricing: a real free tier (150 feeds, 1 list, 1 inbox, 3 AI summaries/day) plus paid tiers from $4.17/mo (yearly) up to an $83.33/mo Pro tier with bring-your-own-API-key. Also noted: the project was previously named "Follow" (same maintainer, RSSNext — explains the `follow.is` repo and Nix package name).
