If you are on Apple ecosystem, NetNewsWire is free, reliable and syncs between devices. You don’t need a paid third party service to use it. https://netnewswire.com/

Newsify is also good for a simple, visual block news scroll. It pulls images from the source site, so it’s like browsing with a polished news app.

I use Feedly, not sure why it's not more frequently recommended. https://feedly.com/

Unfortunately the iOS App has major problems for some users, see the app reviews. I like it, but as of now it's barely usable.

It has a 4.6 rating which is good, especially if I can't recall ever being bothered by those automated rating popups.

I use it everyday and works fine, "some" might be a small but vocal group? Might not be representative for a common user.

ttRSS, because RSS2Email is next to useless in the modern crappy feed usage where full articles are NOT on the feed... While as a concept it's very nice since I use notmuch, so I can manage mails and especially search&tag them very well.

I've used elfeed, it demand too much time to skim many posts, similar to Miniflux who is quicker but still demand too much time. ttRSS allow to scroll marking read, that's enough for me. Feeds nowadays simply have much value as a tool, but too little values per mean post.

Gnus with scoring is nice, but again too slow to skim, even with scoring help.

I also use miniflux but not as pwa. What changes if you use it as a pwa?

Not much. It just has its own button on the home screen (iOS) and behaves (mostly) like a native app. A browser bookmark would work as well. Miniflux is designed to work well on a small screen with touch input. So the fact that, unlike some other options, it doesn't have a native app is not too much of a limitation.

I suspect that’s because most “native apps” are really just web views running spas
