Ask HN: Do you still use RSS?
11–20 of 126 posts
In a word, yes.
I use QuiteRSS as my reader of choice for news articles. As well as monitoring feeds for some of the websites and servers that I run.
The reason I like RSS is because it is focused on exactly the information I need with no distractions. No extra popups, menus, offers to subscribe to mailing lists and most of all, no adverts. All in one place in a common format that is easily parsed.

#13Yep. Inoreader. I browse 300-400 items a day through it.
This is me too!

#14Tragically, no. After Google killed Reader, I (amazingly) couldn't find another client that didn't have some fatal flaw that didn't make it not worth the bother.
I now use the dumb, low-tech solution of having a few folders of bookmarks of sites in various categories, which I'll occasionally check using "Open in Tabs".
Lamentable

#15I use RSS daily for all things. Those webpages without an RSS feed are ones I never visit as I don't want to change my habit of 15 years.

#19Yes, I use Feedly.

#20Yes, every day, for checking various websites. I realize most people prefer Twitter/Instagram for getting their updates, but RSS gives me only the things I asked for, right when there's an update.
