Goodbye, Feedly

Re: Goodbye, Feedly
#72My biggest pet peeve with Feedly is that it doesn’t allow for filtering by keyword (which could be done on-device to save server resources if that’s a concern) without a monthly subscription that includes tons of things I don’t care about, like this AI thing and whatnot. I’d even pay a one time fee for this right. But forcing users to pay for something so simple in perpetuity seems ridiculous.

#73Huh. I use Feedly but access it through Reeder and don’t seem to have many troubles. Every once in a while I think of unsubscribing to a feed and it is a bit of an adventure, but that is my only complaint.
BTW I didn't understand the need for connecting Feedly to reader. Why didn't you simply import the OPML from Feedly to Reeder?
I set it up 9 years ago and OPML import was not made obvious to me.
Or possibly: I think I was using NetNewsWire on desktop or something when I set it up, so maybe it was obvious but I wanted read-syncing between different platforms.

#75Going through the article I realized this attitude is what eventually kills some really good software. If a software does what you expect it to do and does it well but includes a few prompts here and there for marketing purposes...is that really so bad? Live and let live, I say. Not everyone is running a charity and Feedly is nowhere even near the top of the list of software ripping off their users or selling their d…

Don’t change things. It’s not hard. Leave things alone. Be consistent.
Marketing? If you pay for it already that’s all the marketing needed. Don’t go trying to suck data from elsewhere with creeper policies to sell the data to creeper brokers.

#76Cannot stay away, because I'm a guy who used Google Reader and moved all my RSS stuff 1-2 years before Google Reader was finally closed.
I tried to use Feedly and other tools, but at that time I decided to use rss2email.
Right now I have my own tool (https://github.com/livelace/gosquito) for data gathering from different sources. One way to use it - just put news into mail system (I'm Zimbra user - https://paste.pics/7f48e9ca655de96f2160ecbff474bbca, and I use internal search engine heavily).
I don't depend on external services and can process data as I want.

#77The author complains he couldn't add a Reddit RSS feed. I once looked into this. It was already a few years ago, but I guess it hasn't changed. The problem is that updating all Reddit feeds of all Feedly users goes way above Reddit's API call rate limits. So, it's probably simply not possible in a centralized free service. The problem isn't so much Feedly, but the various sites' (not only Reddit) ignorance or hostili…

#78After going through Google Reader, Feedly, Newsblur and QuiteRSS, I've finally settled on Newsboat, as I can really customize it to my needs, debug it and even integrate custom html to rss generators.
For example, ebay has recently recently stopped supporting RSS through search results (an '_rss=1' query string was supported for over 10 years), and while there are some workaround such as using different search endpoint where the RSS has not been deprecated yet, with Newsboat, I was able to write a custom filter to extract RSS with just few lines of code: https://github.com/almog/newsboat-ebay2rss-filter

#80If you're looking for a cross-Apple-ecosystem reader, News Explorer provides MacOS, iOS, and iPadOS apps and uses iCloud to sync. No affiliation, just like using it.
If you're only following feeds on MacOS, NetNewsWire is also great.
