Happy daily user of FeedBro in Firefox here. I've been using it for 3 years and it's exactly what I expect it to be. It just goes.
Feedly's bullshit about AI and enterprise "insights" is incredibly irritating. Like, I read articles about cooking and math. Why would I want AI-powered security insights? Why would anyone want them, for that matter? It seems incredibly... clueless.
It's government's social program.
Most people are so ignorant about digital security that governments force media providers (social media, newspapers, bloggers) to make native content about how to not tell your bank password to a random person on the internet.
I built an RSS reader in 2005. I never figured out how to 100% reliably detect already downloaded articles.
I would like an headless RSS feed aggregator that stores (and categorizes?) feeds and articles in a DB and exposes a rich API.
If you're in the Apple ecosystem (Mac, iPhone) NetNewsWire is an absolute delight. It's not a commercial product any more, Brent Simmons runs it as a (very serious) passion project. Here's a recent post by him explaining part of his philosophy for it: https://inessential.com/2025/10/04/why-netnewswire-is-not-we... Crucially, it syncs feed read state between my laptop and phone.
I have used NetNewsWire since 2003. Really. It’s flawless. It just works. There are no gimmicks, there is no weird effort to gamify it into a social media play, it’s just a user-focused news reader. And that’s great.
