I use pipedream[0] to subscribe to RSS feeds and save the file into my cloud storage as a markdown file, all synced to my local device. I can then read them by using whatever markdown reader I have.

[0]: https://pipedream.com. Though I'd say that it's pretty easy to bootstrap a this using a period script in your own device, considering that you probably only need to fetch the feeds once a day at most.

I've been using the free version of Feedly for what I think is around 10 years. It does everything that I need it to, though I may not be enough of a power user for that to matter to anyone else, and I've never once felt that they're shoving the paid version down my throat. There have been times where the service was down, but it's been extremely rare, and luckily RSS feeds aren't that critical to me.

My experience with Feedly has been similar. I use the free version every day with no problems. The ads are unobtrusive, too.

It's an online service. It has features to extract the whole story from the source website, and to automatically filter feed items according to title, author, tags etc. There are android and iOS apps available; at least the Android one is opensource.

One can self-host it, but at $36/year it's almost worth it paying the author to avoid the hassle.

I use the new dashboard site that I'm currently developing, Glimpst.com. See the Imgur link below for one of the available layouts and the styling. I also have podcasts on my dash (but it has other available widgets too). I plan on launching this in the next couple of months. https://imgur.com/a/STWXsPN
