Goodbye, Feedly

I've left Feedly at the first sight of premium options few years ago - I wanted to try something new and it worked for a while. But RSS reader in bookmarks (livemarks as Mozilla once called these) is and tbh always was enough for me.

Foxish live RSS does job nicely in Vivaldi.

I agree with you about useless PRO features.

I loved the 'Mute filters' feature, but they ruined it forcing to use Leo, expressions like "title:HackerNews" are no longer available and LEO is less useful than a simple search by keyword

but... there is a "but", I use Feedly APIs and I love them, I developed apps for myself to aggregate and quickly find informations starting from the feeds, using Feedly is so easy, so I continue to pay for a really small subset of features only to be able to extract info from my RSS feeds

For many years I'm using ReadKit for Mac and couldn't be happier. Paid once in like 2014 and the app is still getting updates plus I get to my content without third parties. Why use a web service for something that doesn't need a backend to function?

I dont understqnd this attitude. I use feedly and like the author of tfa I don't pay them any money, so I ignore the junk. This is the price you have to pay when you get something for free. I have a lot of sympathy for feedly: it seems like a really hard thing to get people to pay for. What does the author think feedly should do with its free tier?

Before feedly I self hosted TinyTinyRss for a while (kind of slow) and before that Google Reader. And before that Newsblur. I never paid for any of them and now I have more than enough paid subscriptions for stuff. Reading rss feeds just doesn't make it over the line of things I'd be willing to pay for.

Edit: I pay £10/month for Adobe Creative Cloud and get Photoshop, Lightroom, XD, Illustrator, etc. I pay ~£8/month for Office 365 and get Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. All massively rich and powerful tools. Why does feedly imagine I would want to pay £5/month to read rss feeds?

One of the most useful features of Feedly for me was that you could export full articles with highlights as PDFs. Yet to find another RSS reader that can do this - am currently using Inoreader's highlighting features.
