I create a telegram channel and few lines of shell script and a systemd timer to feed it. Advantage is that I get to read the entire post fast without going to a browser or custom app (instantview only works only in mobile app). E.g. https://t.me/instant_news_tech
Ask HN: What RSS Reader do you use?

#192I self-host my own, since I found that other self-hosting solutions were too much of a pain to set up. It's brutally simple though, and basically only supports my RSS usecase (notifications, not consumption): https://github.com/rcxdude/nobsrss (if it looks dead from the repo consider it's still running fine and I haven't needed to touch it since then)

#193Feedly as the backend, Unread as my (iOS) reader, it's a very nice looking application and doesn't scroll weirdly like Feedly does/usedto. Instapaper to save things for later or to read on a computer to act on something.
Unread also does an Instapaper-like reader view which you can turn on feed-wide for those shitey RSS feeds that only give you the excerpt.

#195I've been using Tiny Tiny RSS since Google shut down their reader. https://tt-rss.org/ Certainly not perfect, but it fits my needs and doesn't cost anything. Also has an Android app, so I can easily check my feeds whenever I want.
Note that the forum for tt-rss has a category called "Gas Chamber" for hiding threads, and the maintainer actively defending this choice[1], which might or might not influence your choice. It definitely does for me.

#198Like a few others here, I use an RSS to email converter, although I'm using a custom-written one. The main difference from rss2email is that I'm not actually doing any SMTP - I'm just dumping files into a Maildir and letting isync do the uploading/downloading. The actual reading then happens mostly with Mutt (which also just interacts with Maildir). Like some others have noted, using email as a storage mechanism redu…
This makes a lot of sense, because RSS is quite e-mail like anyway in so many ways: the feeds look like an inbox, where items are marked read and such.
Also, a lot of sites use email where they could (should?) be providing RSS, for updates and news stuff. So to see those in the same place as RSS feeds, either you use a common client for both, or convert one into the other.
Feedbin seems to permit receiving email newsletters as a feed, so that's one of the few making email into RSS, whereas the others all turn RSS into email.

Re: Ask HN: What RSS Reader do you use?
#200This has been a process for me. I started out using TinyTinyRSS and a few other apps. I always wanted an RSS reader that I could use anywhere on any device. I have finally settled on rss2email. I can read on any device I can access my email. I have setup an email just for rss feeds (rss@mydomain.com) and use a server side filter to put the feeds in the correct mailbox. I love the idea of not introducing another app t…
Yeah I'm the same, I wrote a quick clone of rss2email in golang as I tend to avoid running python code on servers I run.

Since feeds go to your mailbox you can easily read them from multiple locations and also search them via your mail client.
