Any recommendations for an RSS reader?


I use Newsblur, mostly. It feels a bit dated at times, but does what I want it to do and has an email address that you can send newsletters to to read like feeds. I've been meaning to switch over to miniflux for a while, but can never really get up the momentum. It seems nice.



https://feedbin.com/ for a reader designed with admirable restraint, resulting in a lack of feature creep.


I have been using feedbin since Google Reader was killed. No regrets, I happily pay for it.


NewsBlur - I'm on a paid plan since I'm a packrat with almost 700 feeds. It is a pretty busy interface but has tons of functionality. Their mobile app is also pretty good.

what do you do with 700 news feeds?!


NetNewsWire if you're on macOS/iPhone


I use this as well, source on GitHub:

I use FreshRSS and host my own after Google Reader died - https://freshrss.org/


I use an RSS-to-email service to email them to me. Then most feeds get sorted into folders for reading later. A few got to my inbox for more urgent response.

I currently use an RSS-to-email service that I operate but I used other services for almost a decade before that. There are a handful available ad supported and paid or you can self-host.


On the Apple ecosystem, Reeder remains my favorite: https://reederapp.com

It's got a simple and clean user interface, and it stores the feed in iCloud, so no need for a third-party server application.


I moved all my stuff to Thunderbird a while ago, and unless you have more specific demands, having a basic self-run RSS reader beats just about all fancy hosted solutions out there. Old-school e-mail works well a lot of the time too.


I like The Old Reader: https://theoldreader.com/

It's largely a reimplementation of the Google Reader experience.


I can't find any pricing info, what's the deal?


I use the free version and for my needs it's fine (basically 100 feed limit and after a while old posts drop off the feed, I'm not sure how long).

For 25 dollars a year you get 500 feeds and one year retention (up to 1000 posts per feed) and you can pay more for a larger number of feeds.


I personally prefer to read my feeds via my email client, and hacked up an RSS to email script:

Having the feeds in your mail client makes sorting, and searching trivial. Plus you get the content archived for future reference.


I know NetNewsWire and NewsBlur have already been mentioned, but I use both of them together. I use NewsBlur on Windows, and NetNewsWire with my NewsBlur account on Mac/iOS. NetNewsWire also supports iCloud, Feedbin, Feedly, and other services (and locally without syncing).


I like Newsblur on the web. Also use Unread on iOS/iPadOS with Newsblur as the aggregator.


I prefer a daily digest so I use this tool which I built, easy to setup:

https://github.com/piqoni/matcha

It generates markdown locally but Obsidian is also on my phone so its also mobile.


I’ve been using miniflux, and it’s quite cool. David Winer’s Feedland is nifty too.


I use Feedly, which is more a scraper, but can be pointed at RSS sources.


I use Feedly for RSS exclusively. Works great, simple and clean.

QuiteRSS on Windows and Linux.

Flym on Android.


I've heard nothing but bad things, and had nothing but good experiences with Thunderbird.


Feedbro extension on Firefox


I use @rss2tg_bot that channels RSSes to a telegram chat.


if you like the cli on linux/unix then newsboat is great


newsboat if you want something for the CLI
