I self host Miniflux [1] and am really happy with it, although recently I have moved toward using Fraidycat [2]. I really like the way that Fraidycat groups things by author, whereas traditional RSS readers just give you a feed. This enables me to follow high-volume publishers (such as Marginal Revolution) without the anxiety of seeing the Unread count in my reader creep ever higher. The only downside of Fraidycat fo…

Firefox/Android accept all desktop extensions.

I use NewsBlur in Firefox and via the Android app, and I'm very happy with it.

I came to this post through newsblur, which does a decent job on sites that doesn't give a full feed.

Though I would want to try out a local reader that works offline, just because that would be nice.

I'm using my self-built reader called Feedist (not public) . It's extremely lightweight and built in boring PHP. The most important feature to me is the personal recommendation page which shows me the top 50 new posts in my subscribed feeds based on my previous reading behavior. It uses almost the same scoring algorithm as HN behind the scenes. It's so accurate and saves me a ton of time. Subscribing to a lot of feeds creates a lot of noise and this makes it easier to find content I might enjoy.

i really like https://newsboat.org/. very few keystrokes to remember, super fast, ~/.newsboat/urls is a simple file with 1 feed a line.

If you are looking for something more robust, I would recommend Fluxonaut (https://fluxonaut.com). It's only for Windows and is still in beta but you can mix RSS, Twitter and YouTube quite nicely through multiple screens!

(Full disclaimer: I'm a founder, but I truly feel it's the best way to consume RSS if you use 2+ monitors on Windows =) ).

I use fieryfeeds on iOS. It integrates with Nextcloud news and Pocket and is quite featurefull. I moved most of my reading off twitter which I used to access with Tweetbot.
