After google reader, I use theoldreader.com

Is anyone else having very old posts (e.g. published in 2003) float up as just published on top of their TheOldReader "all items" timeline? I subscribe to some blogs that include very old posts in their feeds and it seems like TheOldReader wraps timestamps around at some point.

I wrote to their support about it since it's getting annoying, but I haven't received any reply (I'm using their paid tier). I'm guessing its kind of a rare edge case.

inoreader right now the free version. Although you can't delete RSS entries which is annoying, only mark them as read.

But I'm building my own product soon because I see quite a few UI flaws with inoreader.

Feedly. Switched when google reader died, and honestly it's filled the hole perfectly, does all it needs to do, has premium options to support them. Fast, and clean.

Same, it's great.

bazqux.com

The subscription is $30/year. I voluntarily opted in $50/year just because I like it so much.

Reeder with feeds from Feedly (manually added feeds, not suggested).

I use the marvellous ReadKit (https://readkitapp.com/) on the Mac – it has RSS and Instapaper support.

On iOS I use Reeder.

My feeds themselves are managed by Feedly but I rarely use that interface.

https://www.inoreader.com - suppose the best replacement after Google reader death ;(

I am also happy user of Inoreader. The best feature it has is the ability to subscribe to the "global" feed. For example, when I'm waiting for some specific thing (like product launch or announcement) I can make a global search instead of some subscription.

I use Newsblur[1] in the browser. The best part of Newsblur for me, is its intelligence trainer. Suppose you want feeds from website A, but don't want certain stories tagged with "mice", or titles containing "epistemology", and you only want to see articles published by an author named "Joyce Smith", you can do that. It's pretty great. Reading RSS feeds has become so much more pleasurable. The articles that do make i…

This. I tried bazzillion different RSS readers / aggregators and Newsblur was the only one that resonated with me:

1. No-nonsense web UI. Simple, fast, logical, intuitive. 2. No ads 3. Decent free tier 4. Great intelligence trainer 5. Good search (finally!) 6. Pre-caching news content on your mobile device (great Android client by the way!) so when it comes to reading content, it comes up instantly.

€36/annum feels a bit steep (it used to be €12/annum when they started as far as I remember) but it works for me.

https://miniflux.app/ Minimalistic, simple, easy-to-use. I use a dockerized version running in locally with a postgres database.

Miniflux is awesome, loads fast even over very slow VPN. Amazing software.
