After many tests I'm on YARR, not super-happy but for my volumes of feeds and time it's the best fit still actively developed, before I was on TT-Rss. I've tried elfeed and RSS2email with notmuch/emacs but while wonderful they demand too much time because they are meant to READ posts, while, well having many I more scroll and pick then going through all. Gnus with scoring maybe better but create the scoring for today news it's challenging...

#32I’d like to use this space to praise everyone involved in creating and keeping NetNewsWire alive. I (re)discovered RSS a few months ago via NetNewsWire, and it’s so calming and empowering to curate one’s own feed. Rumors of RSS’ death are greatly exaggerated.
NetNewsWire is SO good - both the macOS and iPhone apps. Real labor of love. We are very lucky to have it.
I agree. I'm just sad that, since I'll personally never upgrade to Liquid (Gl)ass, they stopped updating NetNewsWire for macOS versions before Tahoe.

Re: The View from RSS
#34Nice! I'm also around 2000 feeds in my reader, carefully selected over a couple of years. Only difference: I always click through to the website to read an article. Now in the process of slowly making RSS my only social feed. Have a hard time of leaving Youtube, but once I embedded the videos of the channels I follow in my RSS reader I see a way of not getting annoyed by the recommendation algorithm on their website…
YouTube does offer RSS feeds for each channel, you just need the channel id. For example, the RSS feed for the defunctland channel is https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCVo63lb... .
I used some strange wording when I read it back, but that's what I meant.

There are feeds of everything. You just have to look harder. edit: provide an example please
Not exactly a "news" site, but this is still an example site that you'd expect would have a feed: https://mistral.ai/news/
Mistral used to serve a feed actually up until 6ish months ago I guess? Their admin console used to be built with HTMX too which I found kinda interesting.
Now the news site and admin console is all in Next.js and slow and no feed.

#36The other issue is that bot detection has gotten pretty good. So fishing out the full content rather than a single sentence summary is getting ever harder.
Been toying with that and concluded you basically have to use a service. From a random VPS between 60-90% gets blocked

#37I'd like to share a preview of my RSS (&other sources) feed aggregator: https://aggly.com (designed to look better on desktops) It’s still a work in progress, so treat this as an early preview before I submit it to Show HN. Feedback and criticism are welcome.
This is cool.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the feed-per-column style as I like to subscribe to personal blogs which post a handful of times per year. Maybe 100 feeds which average 2-5 posts per year. Is there a way to merge columns? But may not be the intended audience.
I suggest OPML import to make it easier for people to move subscriptions. Feed discovery tools also like to integrate with feed readers, can you add an API like https://agglu.com/subscribe?url=https://example.com/feed.xml

#38I like rss2email sending to a local email box read with evolution or the like.

Here's an example https://help.abc.net.au/hc/en-us/articles/6147104938383-Why-...
Uh, they lie about everything?
https://www.abc.net.au/news/feed/51120/rss.xml
I haven't fully examined it but looking at the xml I see it was last build in 2026 and a headline about Women's Asian Cup 2026.
