RSS is still pretty great
NetNewsWire is excellent. Clean, responsive, blends into the desktop, and doesn't have memory leak issues like so many macOS RSS readers do. I wish all software could be like it.

Show HN: Twine – Gorgeous open source multiplatform RSS app
And like with most multiplatform apps, it doesn't look native at all on iOS. I prefer my current combination of: https://netnewswire.com + https://miniflux.app
Both open source too.

Reddit may force Apollo and third-party clients to shut down, asking for $20M per year API fee
+1 for NetNewsWire. No pushes for engagement, no upsells for premium features, just a simple and rock solid app that does exactly what you want and does it well. I would 100% pay for it as it’s a very high quality app, but the developers would prefer happy users to focus elsewhere.

As a Reddit beta tester, keep your expectations to the bare minimum
I’ve completely replaced my Twitter habits with a good ol RSS reader app. https://github.com/Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire they have an iOS app.

I use this as well, source on GitHub:

NetNewsWire: Free and Open Source RSS Reader for Mac and iOS
If you are using Miniflux for your RSS syncing you can already use it in NetNewsWire too now that Miniflux supports the Google Reader API. Apparently it will be exposed in a more obvious way in the Account dialog in the next version (6.2).

RSS can be used to distribute all sorts of information
It sounds interesting but I use https://hnrss.github.io/
Unless it had most of the features of hnrss.org I would not be able to use it.
Perhaps you could pivot your approach and submit a PR to hnrss for the feature?

JSON Feed: An Atom/RSS feed alternative
hnrss.org (https://hnrss.github.io/) provides a JSON feed version for every feed, just append .jsonfeed to any endpoint.
known (https://withknown.com/) also provides JSON feeds
micro.blog (https://micro.blog/) does as well
wordpress also has plugins available that generate JSON feeds

Ask HN: How do you stay on top of advances in AI?
I try to direct as much news to RSS as possible, where I can group feeds by topic, and not get distracted by a constant compulsion to refresh the page (which I feel strongly on HN and Twitter). Some tools I use:
* https://www.freshrss.org/ for subscribing to feeds
* https://netnewswire.com/ for reading them
* https://hnrss.github.io/ to get Hacker News into RSS
* https://mailgrip.io/ (project I'm building) to get email newsletters into RSS

News Minimalist Only significant news. All signal, no noise
You can sub to HN and put a score threshold: https://hnrss.github.io/#firehose-feeds
I would definitely sub to your News Minimalist if the same is possiblke.

Help make mass surveillance of entire populations uneconomical
I like to use Thunderbird not just for e-mails, but also for RSS. When using the global inbox, you can have emails and RSS in the same list without noticing the difference.
I don't have many RSS sources (11) and some have news just every other month. That way I don't have to open a separate program and when something comes up, I see it right when I read my emails.
Did you know that you can use RSS to get notified when someone writes a reply to your HN comment? I love it: https://hnrss.github.io/#reply-feeds

Ask HN: Following’ Other HN Users?
There's this page which offers a "Users" posts and comments RSS feed.
Is that the kind of thing?

Those making $500/month on side projects in 2023 – Show and tell
I did a Show HN 4 months ago[1].
The reason I started KTool was to spend less time on computer screens, and more on e-ink Kindle. I was afraid of going blind.
After 4 months improving KTool, it now becomes a tool to help you combat doom-scrolling. Instead of mindlessly scrolling the web, I deliberately send interesting articles to my Kindle.
Recently, I added newsletter & RSS support, it's 100% automated now.
My favorite source of content is Hacker News RSS[2], Stratechery[3], Indie Hacker Newsletters[4] and a few other Substack newsletters.
I can enjoy reading HN latest stories or my fav authors' latest pieces on my Kindle without spending hours browsing on my computer.
I just reached $620 MRR today (Jan 23)
