There are a lot of techy reasons why I like it (self-hosted is always nice, back-search is fun, I like the customization, etc) but especially during these stressful times, it's a great way of limiting obsessive scrolling in newsfeeds. I mark the news feeds as read about once a week regardless of whether I’ve gotten to it or not because most of it has a shelf life and if there was anything important I probably heard about it on some podcast.Īdjacent but related to this topic, I also use an RSS reader and I think it's something which a lot of non-programmers would really appreciate more. If it’s worth keeping for reference or to read again, it goes from Instapaper to my Pinboard Archive. I skim most posts, read some others in NetNewsWire, but if an individual post is long and I want to do more than skim, it goes straight to Instapaper. Most of those also send me Newsletters which I have automatically forwarded to my Instapaper account from my Inbox. I use RSS mainly for blogs and webcomics, but I have a couple of news sites loaded in there as well.

The current v5 series of releases is a very neat client, has a good team led by Brent Simmons developing it, and while I’m not sure what the feature is called, has a neat reader mode that can load the whole post even in partial-post feeds. I’ve used some version of NetNewsWire for close to 15 years now. NetNewsWire is my preferred client, but this is as much out of complacency as anything else. I like the clear cut relationship and expectations of being a customer, not merely an entitled user with a free account, and I like that Feedbin is effectively platform agnostic and not tied to a specific client as long as you have a client that supports it. A paid subscription, I forgot what I paid, but $50/year I want to say and 2. You haven’t mentioned what you want to use RSS for, so I‘ll try to provide some context as to how I use it.įeedbin account linked to NetNewsWire on my iPad, iPhone and Mac.
