Miniflux with the paid hosting plan[1].

Things I love about it (from [2]):

> Miniflux is a minimalist software. The purpose of this application is to read feeds. Nothing else.

> The Miniflux layout is optimized to scan entries quickly.

> The design of Miniflux is inspired by Hacker News, Lobsters and Pinboard.

> Miniflux uses Javascript only where it’s necessary.

And the content extraction for truncated feeds, customizable with CSS selectors, is an absolute killer feature that I use heavily.

I'm very happy to pay an annual subscription fee and I haven't looked back once since I started using it. I'm eagerly waiting for NetNewsWire to add support for the Fever API[3] so that I can use it with Miniflux. But the web UI on mobile is good enough to be honest.

After google reader, I use theoldreader.com

Ctrl+F > "old"

It's what I use too. And except for getting a new logo a while ago, absolutely nothing has changed since I started using it, which I love. I hope it never goes away.

Meanwhile, Apple invents a new magical way to set the alarm time on their phones once a year, and it infuriates me.
