#122Same comment as last time
Never understood why nobody talks about NewsExplorer
https://apps.apple.com/app/id1032668306, the only third party app on my phone that is available on ALL iDevices it’s actually insane
iCloud sync without needed rss backend, snapshot/export/import/folder Also reads Twitter private lists and feed
Search inside articles
Stable with tens of thousands of articles unread

#123Miniflux. I'm incredibly happy with how simple and usable it is. I mostly use it as a PWA on my phone. https://miniflux.app/
I really like miniflux, but I really wish it had a weighted post ordering rather than a simple chronological ordering. I posted a feature request about this earlier this year[0], but the gist is this: If you subscribe to some feeds that post 100+ times a day (like a major news outlet) and others that post only once every couple months or so (like many personal blogs), you'll never catch the latter because those posts…
It's a tricky idea to implement in a way that doesn't violate the "principle of least surprise".
Personally, I "solve" this problem with existing settings by excluding NPR/NYT/New Yorker from my global unread feed. They belong to a category (/news) that I can choose to visit if I want to. I find myself not visiting it that often, personally.
That being said, I have thought of implementing something like this. Maybe something that "aggregates" posts into 24 hour buckets, so they'll still show up in your global feed, but won't occupy 80% of the screen space any more.
Curious to hear your thoughts on these ideas.

#124I've been self-hosting miniflux [0] for a couple years. Rock solid performance, deployment is easy, upgrades are small but meaningful, and doesn't use anything exotic in the tech stack (mainly Go, some vanilla JS, persists data in PostgreSQL).
I mainly browse on my laptop, but it's pretty decent on mobile.

Also a happy miniflux holster. On Android I use Miniflutt [0] as a client, mainly for the mark as read on scroll feature. Any fever API compatible app will work, though.

One more vote for feedly from me! One of the few online subscriptions I don't mind at all paying for. I especially like the ability to auto-generate email addresses for newsletters to "turn them into" RSS feeds within feedly.

#127https://www.inoreader.com/
I use Inoreader as well.
They run annual Black Friday specials that end up giving you 18 months for the cost of 12.
They have advanced filtering and rules.
They have some social features I don't use but that approximate what Google Reader was mourned for.
I really rather wholeheartedly recommend them.
The only negative thing I could say about them is that they seem rather close-minded in a rather non-P.R.-friendly way to feature requests, and don't seem very interested in improving the product in ways their customers request, although they do, however, still (slowly) improve the product. It's not in stasis as many other products sometimes tend to be (cough Remember the Milk cough cough)
That having been said, to me, the product feels rather rock solid as it is in its existing functionality, and to me, it feels like a solid power tool.

#129Ive been using Feedbin basically since Google Reader shut down. The web interface is very usable for someone who mostly navigated GR via the keyboard.

59 MB Android app. No, thanks.
I use Feedly Classic which is clocking in at around 37 MB. But I am looking at the other apps on my phone and the majority of them (maybe 90% roughly estimating) are well over 59 MB. Chrome, for example, is almost half a gig. What device are you using that 59 MB is an issue and are you also eschewing all the other apps that are that big or larger?
