So, I’m using Reeder Classic on iPhone. However, I can’t use it on my PC and it seems the developer has fully abandoned the Classic version and barely updates his newest ReederPlus app (which misses a lot of features I like).
So I’m searching for a new RSS. I was looking on InoReader but it’s a bit expensive (either €80/yearly or €8,99/monthly) and it seems that many old users are not fond of InoReader’s decision making.
What are you using?
NetNewsWire on iPhone. Newsflash on desktop.
Miniflux + RSS Guard, Feedly, KDE Akregrator… Depending on what I’m following.
Elfeed in Emacs.
FreshRSS
My favorite is RSSOwl, but I’ve been using Liferea for a while now.
I self-host Miniflux and just access that through a browser/as a PWA. Simple and works well
+1 for miniflux. And I use android Miniflutt
This puts any RSS feed into your Mastodon feed.
Open source?
obviously it’s a remote service, so you don’t directly control it unless you run it yourself, but the website links to this repo https://github.com/gugray/rss-parrot so the code does seem to be available under a free license (I have not tried to run it myself)
Newsflash (Linux) -> syncing with Nextcloud News. And then NextNews on ios.
Freshrss, running alongside my nexcloud provider
I’ve been using NewsBlur since I read Cory Doctorow’s piece about RSS readers: https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/16/keep-it-really-simple-stupid/
It works fine, and I’m just on the free tier.
I use NetNewsWire and feeeed. NetNewsWire is a good traditional RSS reader, and feeed for when I want something more akin to a personalized “newspaper” than just a straight feed.
I use Thunderbirds built-in RSS reader.
I ended up using Readkit; started with Reeder, moved to Feedly and then Readkit. I cannot remember the cost but it was a one-off at the time I joined the service. I found it to work well for me.
I use the Smart RSS extension for Firefox. I like FOSS for this because I require next to no features for an RSS aggregator. It’s not maintained anymore and I’m sure there’s something better out there but I haven’t been bothered enough to look.
For what device? InoReader is nice and probably worth the price but I’m poor so I use NewsFlash on Linux.
Mainly for iPhone/ IOS but if it is possible to have it synch with Windows (PC) that would be a major advantage.
