RSS readers allow you to collect the articles of specific sources in one app, making it a lot easier to find the content you’re interested in without crawling through a lot of noise. RSS (which may stand for Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary, or one of several other possibilities — nobody seems sure) has been around a while, having been first developed in 1999, although it wasn’t more widely adopted until a few years later.

Really surprised NetNewsWire did not make this list. Free as in beer and FOSS, and it’s been around for ages

I discovered this about 5 hours ago while searching for a reader for a new MacBook… definitely beats the $12 Reeder imo
