I like #ReviveRSS but:

> Powered By: Stream, Algolia, MongoDB, SendGrid, AWS

My feed reader is an old PHP script running on a NUC.

Yeah I kinda feel like over engineering on RSS is going against the point. It's a simple tech, for a simple usage.

…for a simpler time?

Did RSS ever go away? Almost all of the blogs I follow still have RSS feeds. Maybe I'm just in a bubble. I think the decline in relative importance of RSS is certainly real, but that's more an effect of people getting their information from more centralized sources (like HN).

I have no idea. I'm still using it and all the blogs I read still use it. I'm a little confused. I think the death of rss has been greatly exaggerated. As an aside I described one of my worst experiences with food poisoning as "having the winds" I'm a little biased against the name I guess.

Any recommendations for cross-platform, light RSS readers? PDF export would be _great_, but not necessary

It didn't. But supposing it had, a combo newsreader/podcast player wouldn't have been the thing that brought it back.

Tiny tiny rss, all the way, you have great web based desktop ui and good mobile apps
