Ask HN: What's your favorite RSS reader?

[tnorthcutt]

I'm open to paid or free. I know of Feedly and haven't been crazy about it; wondering if there's something better to check out.

When Google Reader got shipped off to the farm upstate, I switched to Feedly briefly, but wasn't very happy with the web client.

Once I found Feedbin though, It's integrated seamlessly into my daily routine, becoming something that I use all day but almost never think about. I consider that the greatest praise I can bestow upon software. It's been worth every penny to me.

(FWIW, I use "Press" reader on Android, which syncs with Feedly, Feedbin and other services, too).

I like NewsBlur. The site training system is very effective at filtering out stuff that I don’t want to see and it has reasonable mobile apps for both android and iOS.

It’s probably one of the more expensive of the hosted options though.

I've been a happy Feedly user since GoogleReader shutdown, and i've recently built Aktu: http://aktu.io

It already has some nice features, and many more to come :-) - Rss feeds - news aggregation from thousands of feeds (like Google news) - content categorization - entity extraction - personal dashboard / master feed for all your rss feeds etc...

ReadKit [1] for macOS is still pretty nice. You can pull in feeds from Feedly, Feedbin, etc and also send articles to a read later app like Instapaper or Pocket. I prefer the native app approach over a web app for this use case. It's also a one-time purchase. Reeder [2] is pretty similar as well.

BazQux Reader: https://bazqux.com .

$20/year, and absolutely worth it. It just works.

[tnorthcutt]

That looks appealing; my only hesitation is the sign up methods are Google/FB/Twitter (or OpenID, which I honestly don't know how to use. Is it a pain?)

I like Feedly, been using for like a year.

Only thing I really want at this point is to be able to filter out for certain keywords, but it's a pro feature. Does a different app offer this for free?

[StapleHorse]

I use https://www.inoreader.com/

The UI is kind of similar to google reader.

[andymurd]

I like theoldreader.com. It's very similar to Google Reader and worth every cent of its annual fee for premium access ($25 IIRC).

[clircle]

I like to use Thunderbird for reading RSS. It makes sense to me to have RSS in my usual email program.

[ducatdusk]

Thunderbird works really well as an RSS reader. It's only because I read my feeds on multiple devices that I use a hosted service.
