RSS reader recomendation

Feedbin and Newsblur look to be polished apps that were mentioned

Both Feedbin and Newsblur are open-source RSS readers and I think they would fit perfectly on here. I use both and I really like them.

Feedbin is a paid service for $5 a month or $50 a year. It’s web-based but plenty of RSS clients like NetNewsWire or Reeder support it. I know some people have tried self-hosting it, and someone made a Docker version of it, but the dev explicitly says on the Github page that he wouldn’t recommend it. It’s a very nice reader, though, and the API is fantastic. Support is great too! There is an iOS app but it hasn’t been updated in a while. It does run quite well on mobile in the browser.

Newsblur is a freemium service. The premium version is $36 a year and offers extra features like search, Twitter and Reddit support, unlimited feeds, and viewing saved stories under a tag. It’s web-based but also has an iOS/iPad and Android app. I know the iOS app gets updated fairly often. Like with Feedbin, it’s supported by other RSS clients including the aforementioned NNW and Reeder. The Github Read Me page has a lot of information on how to self-host Newsblur.

I think both of these apps deserve a spot on Privacy Guides. What do you think?

These might be worth testing, particularly if we get started on:
