I've been using Feeder on Android, and it's been quite simple and responsive - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nononsense... If there are any other recommendations for apps on Android, those would be welcome too.

I guess it's a matter of opinion because Feedly's interface looks cluttered to me. It's not a bad offender for a webapp but compared to other feed readers its interface is IMO busy. Also a matter of opinion but app developers IMO shouldn't use their apps to market. I've already got an email app and a Feed reader. If I want to keep up with you I'll subscribe to your mailing list or follow your feed. I disable auto-upd…
Tangential: if updates bother you, you might want to give NetGuard a try (not affiliated). FOSS, though the pro version license costs $5 iirc. It is a great way to make apps behave nicely - even Firefox is too chatty (telemetry & co.) for my taste. Since updates are often from a different domain, you can just block them. How it works is that all the traffic on the phone is routed through a local (just an app on your…

PiHole is similar to this but self-hosted (and also blocks ads)
Going 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…

I've been using Feedly since Google Reader shut down and I've visited their site like once every six months.
I use Newsify on iOS and ReadKit on my Mac.

> 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? According to the article, Feedly no longer upholds the basic promise of an RSS feed reader: to allow the user to curate a list of RSS feeds and follow them. From the article: > For example, I recently wanted to add an RSS feed for a Reddit user, but it was not possib…
I’ve been very happy with https://feedbin.com It’s a paid RSS syncing service and web app too, costs $5 per month, I use it with Reeder (and NetNewsWire etc). It doesn’t have any social cruft or AI assistants or ML companions. I was also a Feedly user when I decided to try Feedbin, and I immediately noticed how much faster fetching the feeds was on Feedbin. I also like to have my email newsletters in same place (forw…
I switched from Feedly to FeedBin recently for all the same reasons and noticed all the same things you highlighted here. I don't mind the nominal fee of $5/mo since it is a delightful experience that is powerful, fast, and clean. They have added features that I think we need, without the Bloat. Ironically Feedly is only $1 more per month, but I was never enticed to upgrade because the experience was really just awfu…
Yes but not for Feedly, for those users.
To contrast other opinions – I think it's a valuable feedback for the company. I also stopped using Feedly when realized that it has become something else than "nice minimalistic rss-reader". I settled with NetNewsWire and super happy with it, really incredible piece of software. I wouldn't mind paying some bucks per month for extra features like proxying sites-without-rss or similar stuff (I need to use third-party…
Just use an app. It's great.

I read about their redesign today. I was with them for about 5+ years but then eventually shifted to Inoreader.
What are the differences that made you switch?
Try Inoreader. Besides a bevy of rich feature set, Inoreader has sales ONLY on Black Friday, and they usually extend the service by an additional 6 months if you pay yearly. It lacks Feedly's stupid UI. It's functional, fast, and I can zip through hundreds of feeds in no time. My favourite is the IFTTT and Readwise integration baked in. Alternatively, you can have the complete experience in Vivaldi itself. It comes w…
Another shoutout for Inoreader. Been using it for years. The free tier is great, but the paid tier is seriously one of the best investments I've ever made
I would subscribe to Feedly except their desktop Firefox and Chrome extensions for saving a page for later are both broken! On mobile it works except ~10% of articles it says it cannot parse. Just put a link in my feed then!
Anyone have another option that supports RSS, save-for-later, and email?
Edit: Wallabag does RSS and save-for-later but not email newsletters
Instapaper can send articles to your Kindle which is intriguing
Figured out how to configure Zapier, it's not too cumbersome, so much better than IFTT.
