I tried both, but Miniflux was like 15% _too_ bare-bones for me. FreshRSS hit the sweet spot for me, combined with NetNewsWire as a mobile UI
Yeah, even as a desktop UI NetNewsWire is great. FreshRSS rocks
NetNewsWire is beginning to choke for me because I have a large number of feeds. I was using it today and when I pressed Alt-K to "mark all as read", it beachballed on me and I had to force quit. This has been happening more often recently as I've added more feeds.

#103I’d like to suggest newsboat (https://newsboat.org/index.html). I’ve been happily using it for a few years. It’s fast, runs in the terminal, with a great set of keyboard shortcuts.

#104I'm sad that a basic description of what RSS consists of makes it onto HN. I still upvoted to help educate the kids :/ FYI FreshRSS is fairly trivial to self-host, and is a really nice option for an RSS reader app.
Who old enough to remember when everybody was syndicating all their favorite RSS feeds on their own blogs, and then some joker posted a blog entry to his own RSS feed with a title like "What happens when you put an unbalanced tag into the title?", and the ENTIRE BLOGOSPHERE started blinking?
People were literally XSSing themselves and the worst someone did was a funny prank. Those were simpler times.

#105Love rss, but the upside of not having an algorithm determine your content consumption quickly results in a fire hose of content. Sadly, filtering features seem to be only available for paid subscriptions of online services, or for self-hosted solutions. Or are there solutions I am not aware of?

> The parent comment raises a valid distinction. Not really, as described in the quote you shared, it is common to refer to "recommendation systems" as "algorithms", even if its not actually such a thing. There are plenty of examples of well-known aliases to concepts that obfuscate actual meaning in the English language, but they aren't wrong , as language is usage.
It’s actually not such a thing. So is the distinction valid or not?
It depends how pedantic you’re feeling.

#108Boy do I feel old if a short, low content PSA about the existence of RSS is considered "hacker news."
I mean.. it shouldn't be controversial.. but people keep claiming rss is dead. not in my world it aint.
I was extremely bummed when setting up RSS for the glance app to find that a bunch of stuff I'd assumed would just have RSS feeds, do not. Mostly local things that post regular updates to pages that already look like feeds.
- Three local independent theaters
- Every local venue I checked in my city (admittedly only checked a few I was specifically interested in)
- The local dvd rental place (we still have one and it's neat. The announce their newer niche additions via an updating page)
- My local folk school that hosts events and has an updated news page with no feed
There were a few things I can't remember now that I was shocked to see regularly update pages with lists of updates that there is no way to subscribe to. I would have expected most of these sites to be built using some kind of automated tool that would just include rss or atom. I guess most of the offer email lists, which is a crappy way to get updates comparatively imo.
I'm probably going to use a combination of changedetection.io and rss-bridge to get updates from these sites, but like, seriously?

#109I keep using RSS daily through Feedly classic mobile app and I'm quite happy with it.

You can give notify-me.rs a try if you want as well. We have a free plan available, and we should be able to track all of the sites you mentioned.
If you do give it a try, let me know what you think, since I'm one of the founders.
Cheers!
