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.
Feedly, Inoreader, Feeder, Newsblur, Feedbin.
Thanks for the summary! More articles should be concise and more “complete” (e.g. mentioning alternatives like NetNewsWire or Vivaldi’s integrated RSS reader, as mentioned in other comments here).
Really surprised NetNewsWire did not make this list. Free as in beer and FOSS, and it’s been around for ages
Still using feedly since the google reader death, I just hate how browsers stopped doing RSS natively, it was great having the little folders of the sites I love right in the bookmarks bar.
After Google reader died and feedly became a subscription I said never again and just started self hosting my own. Currently using fresh rss and have used tiny tiny rss, both are excellent options.
I’ve been using Nextcloud News with my Nextcloud provider, works pretty well.
How is this working for you? The ui for it is completely busted on the newest version of nextcloud for me. I’ve been slowly moving most of my stuff to nextcloud but the news just isn’t working so I’ve kept my freshrss instance up and running.
Is Feedly a subscription? I don’t pay for it. Do you have to pay after a certain number of feeds or something?
this is the way; I did this too, built my own: https://s.marko.tech and some
Self hosted tiny tiny RSS for me with Android and iOS clients.
