Slack, using the RSS integration. I have a channel dedicated to social watch, mostly HN through hnrss [1], and a channel for blogs and more article-shaped content.

I only use Slack as a "new article notification" system though, the reading happens on the original website where the content was posted.

I put “Read Later” things in a pg database via Retool[1], fetch RSS/Atom a few times a day into the same database, and serve it to Fiery Feeds[2] via the Fever API spec[3].

I use the Feedbro extension for Firefox, but grain of salt, I only just started using it a week ago. Not sure what features are good for Feed Readers, but this one is great for my office computer. I don't really "need" it to carry over to my other devices like Inoreader can do.

A strategy I'd think of:

- Make the petition on Change.org or something like that

- Put it on HN (there are a lot of HN'ers who'd want it)

I don’t think it would help. All of the value in Reader was its integration with the wider Google ecosystem. Just the mechanics of its RSS interface are easily copied (and have been).

Inoreader, the real successor to Google Reader.

That's what I use too. It's better than Google Reader was.

rss2email: https://github.com/rss2email/rss2email

Prior to that I was using Miniflux, but I wanted to apply some filters to a particular feed and I realised that I already had a tool with advanced features for filtering and organising short messages with a subject and body: email.
