If anyone is using an apple device, NetNewsWire is open source and is dead simple. No extra features, no premium tier, can sync with iCloud or self hosted servers, and the reader mode can be applied source-wide.
I started fiddling with a self hosted rss thing but never got around to putting the app on my new phone. I might give a different one a try sometime it was kinda basic.
When Google’s shut down I switched to Feedly. They even imported my Google settings so there was no downtime. I’ve been paying for their Pro version ever since. It’s a really good app!
I highly recommend NewsBlur if you don’t want to host your own.
I seem to remember RSS's main issue being not really being able to tell "recent" from "popular".
Showed a whole lot of nothing much, and not very much of the stuff you wanted to see.
newsboat is also quite stable as a RSS reader. if you like command line
Does anybody have any recommendations for FOSS RSS readers with actual content surfacing features? So many RSS feeds are full of junk (this is particularly a problem with feeds with wildly disparate posting frequencies) and I've always felt they'd be a lot more useful if people were putting more effort into a modern way to sort through extremely dense feeds.
If RSS is so great why aren't people using it? Why isn't there a dozen readers on the market?
maybe it's just not that useful and that's why nobody is using it.
I kinda just like going to the site. It doesn't have to be rss or social media.
i find it frustrating if i can't immediately tell the poster of a site their content is wrong or sucks or is generally bad. therefore social media is my only option, because the world must know my valuable contributions.....🤌🤌
I tried to use RSS a decade ago and it was too confusing to set up. I gave up pretty quickly.
I would I would! But I cannot seem to find a decent one since Google killed theirs! What's a good one?
I could keep up with so much more when I used RSS.
I mean they talk about that in the article. That said, I tried Feedly and IMO it wasn't anywhere near Google Reader.
RSS has always been great! Thankfully I never relied on Google Reader and have been using Newsify for 5+ years. Great app with a great newspaper view as well as an identical web version. Keept me off of Google and don't have to rely on Feedly either.
Newsify also supports Feedly accounts though I've never needed to consider migrating. I think I've had a couple full text issues with certain items but it's been amazing great and I've really enjoyed their product and price point for subscription ($50CAD/yr, I believe)
What did you try to mean by, whatever the linguistic details. What are you talking about when you say linguistic details?
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
