  • matcha

    Daily Digest Reader (by piqoni)

  • I prefer a daily digest so I use this tool which I built, easy to setup:

    https://github.com/piqoni/matcha

    It generates markdown locally but Obsidian is also on my phone so its also mobile.

  • RSS-Bridge

    The RSS feed for websites missing it

  • For sites that don't offer feeds you may want to check out rss-bridge: https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/

  • readeef

    Readeef feed agregator

  • I've been using my aggregator since google reader died: https://github.com/urandom/readeef

  • rss2email

    Convert RSS feeds to emails (by skx)

  • I personally prefer to read my feeds via my email client, and hacked up an RSS to email script:

    https://github.com/skx/rss2email/

    Having the feeds in your mail client makes sorting, and searching trivial. Plus you get the content archived for future reference.

  • archiveis

    A simple Python wrapper for the archive.is capturing service

  • Yeah, I still have quiterss setup like that, but this is my alternative to doom scrolling Reddit/pop news sites. I use this Chrome extension and the feed mode to be more selective about my news. https://archive.is/

  • SaaSHub

    SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives

  • nitter

    Alternative Twitter front-end

  • Note that you can use third-party services to create feeds for Twitter users. (example https://nitter.net/) This can provide a good way to get some content into your reader, then you can add/remove feeds based on how you are enjoying them.

  • NetNewsWire

    RSS reader for macOS and iOS.

  • I use this as well, source on GitHub:

    https://github.com/Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire
