[lknuth]

I built my own reader because I didn't want unread items to accumulate. It just shows what was published the last X days.

The result is that there is no need for persistent storage, so its real easy to host. If you're interested, its here: https://github.com/lukasknuth/briefly

My specific need for RSS is the accumulation. There are people who post once a week and I don't want to miss the posts because I was offline at the time.
