I used to host Miniflux using my leftover Heroku student credits. But about 1 month ago I started to respect the work that writers put into their website design, so I have no use for the inbuilt reader anymore. Made the switch to https://scour.ing/, it's a feed crawler in my opinion, pretty much under development but good enough for my simple use case.

another vote for inoreader, closest to the no BS approach as with google reader, just headlines, small summaries, nothing more needed;

I was dissatisfied with the available RSS readers, so I wrote my own called Follow https://follow.is . It addresses several key issues I faced: - Optimized display for images, videos, audio, and notifications - Specialized optimization for RSSHub, allowing subscriptions to thousands of websites that don't offer RSS, such as X, Instagram, and Telegram - AI-powered translation, summaries, and a daily important news sum…
