'Enkel' translates to 'simple' in Danish (and some other Nordic languages as well).

It also translates to "only/sole/single" from Dutch.

In Danish it can mean ‘only/sole/single’ as well. Very strange. Danish has about 1/3 the amount of words that English has.

What does this offer over the competition for instance like Feedly which free tier offers more than this paid tier and whose paid tier offers much more than this paid tier? Clean, modern, dark mode, etc all our standards. So curious why this was created vs the competition?

Feedly is about the only app that I have left to get rid of (Android) that pings Facebook when you open it

Depends on how you count: https://www.merriam-webster.com/help/faq-how-many-english-wo...

Also, there are several everyday situations in which the English language has fewer nuances than the Scandinavian. "Flere/mer" (discrete vs. continuous amounts, "Flere trær" vs. "mer melk") comes to mind. In English, that's just one word: "More trees" and "More milk".

I can't even create an account with an email in Feedly. And Inoreader has recently updated design and became unusable: too much bells and whistles. So, there's no more simple and clean rss-readers that I know of.

umm, you can? It isn't obvious from the UI, but you can definitely create one - https://feedly.com/v3/auth/login?newUser=true
