I remember those days when every web design worth its salt would have RSS icons on literally everything!

My favorites were sites that required a login to view the feeds, which AFAIK no RSS reader supported, making those feeds basically useless. But, they got to include the icon, which was what was important!

FeedDemon Pro [0] -> Google Reader -> a lot of experimenting with all the new readers before finally settling on Newsblur [1, 2] -> TT RSS [3] for a while, until my install had some issues -> I decided to try FreshRSS [4] which I’ve been using since.

[0]: http://www.feeddemon.com/

[1]: https://newsblur.com/

[2]: Used from 2013 to 2018, when the prices were raised, as I was using pretty much none of its advanced features. It’s selfhostable, but pretty involved.

The original decentralized social network. Still works great today - I really like NetNewsWire as a reader, it has good read state sync between macOS and iOS.

I am using Reeder 4 for a while now on macOS and iOS. The UX is very well thought and still has all the features I need.

Reeder 5 is out and is fantastic. It also has a built-in RSS aggregator that is synced to all of your Apple devices via iCloud.

You’re right, I forgot it was version 5 already. Time flies!
