I use my own RSS-to-Email service https://feedmail.org/ . I've written about my setup and why I prefer RSS-to-Email on my blog nearly a decade ago https://kevincox.ca/2013/06/27/email-as-rss-reader/ . I used to use https://blogtrottr.com which I do still think is a good product, they just didn't quite fit my needs so after about 8 years I ended up creating my own.

I have used Blogtrottr since Google Reader went away, and I love it. It's great not having to check yet another app for updates, and all the filtering and labeling tools of modern email clients can be used.

Miniflux. 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 also use miniflux but not as pwa. What changes if you use it as a pwa?

Not much. It just has its own button on the home screen (iOS) and behaves (mostly) like a native app. A browser bookmark would work as well.

Miniflux is designed to work well on a small screen with touch input. So the fact that, unlike some other options, it doesn't have a native app is not too much of a limitation.

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 are always drowned in a sea of the former. Reddit deals with this problem by weighting posts from each subreddit you subscribe to so that your frontpage contains content from as many of your subs as possible.

All I want for Christmas is for this idea to get some traction. Hoping to make the time to hack on this myself Q1 of next year.
