I’m using NetNewsWire on Mac & iOS with Feedly as the sync engine and it works really well

This post got me to venture out a bit. Been using Inoreader, but don’t really use all of it’s features. Gave Bazqux a try and I like it so far. Been an RSS junkie for years.
Reeder 5 is the iOS and macOS client of choice, works like a charm and looks good too!

I’ve been using Feedbin and Reeder 5 for the past couple of days. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!

I just went through the change in RSS during my Covid boredom. I left Feedly Pro after years and moved to Feedbin and Reeder 5. Been enjoying them both for the last 2 months. I’m trying Reeder 5 iCloud sync this month just to compare. Probably won’t leave Feedbin but I’m always looking to cut a subscription.

I am the same. I dont know what it is about the subscription that doesnt sit well with me. Believe me, If I had a choice, I would pay upfront for a lifetime version even if its paying upfront for 5 years etc.

Hi @macsorcery ~ Where did you find the Fiery Feeds custom url share/action settings for DEVONthink PDF, Web and Markdown? Same with the OmniFocus url actions. Any pointers or examples would be greatly appreciated!

I use a mix of Feedly and Pocket. I am curious about your workflow @ryanjamurphy - how many PDFs are being created?
Maybe I am using Feedly wrong 
But I have about 30+ RSS Feeds in there.
2x a day - I go through all the Feedly articles (morning coffee and evening tea) and whatever I want to read or find interesting I save to Pocket for later reading during the day when kids are occupied. Sometimes, I don’t get it to the weekend.
Open up Pocket…go through 1 by 1, favorite and archive the ones I want to keep long term, or get rid of the rest.
Ideally, the workflow posted by @ryanjamurphy seems like a good idea for my use case, but just worried that would be overload of PDFs. 
Hi @schmidgall
For devonthink:
Help > Documentation > Automation > URL Commands
ex: x-devonthink://createPDF?location={article-url}&title={title}&paginated=No
for omnifocus:
ex: omnifocus:///add?project=ToBuy&name={title}¬e={url}&autosave=true&x-success=fiery:///

Sorry for the delayed reply on this!
It’s probably hundreds of PDFs a day… but I use other smart rules to delete items on different timelines. MacRumors? Delete it in six hours. Scientific journal? Leave it for a week, see if I get to it.
Actually, I should’ve mentioned this aspect outright, as it’s probably the best part of this approach. I used to feel burdened by my feeds (and the need to get them to 0), but now they’re just streams I can tune into and out of when I have the space to do so.
Edit: The worst part of this system is that DEVONthink locks up when converting a lot of documents at once. In practice, this means it might take a couple seconds on first launch if it’s been a couple days. Not a huge loss of time—it’s just a little jarring that the conversion doesn’t run in the background. I’ve been meaning to submit a feature request to this effect…
are you speaking of the “OCR to readable pdf” problem? It’s a known AABBY bug and they are working on getting AABBY to fix it but apparently AABBY is slower than moles asses.

Thanks! No, this happens when converting HTML to PDF—no OCR involved.
I’m so glad I spotted this, I hadn’t twigged I could use News Explorer for YouTube too (Fellow SetApp user here). I have a similar aversion to adverts…

that’s pretty much all I use NewsExplorer for, YouTube

Feedly as the back end: Free, syncs very well.
NetNewsWire (Mac): Superlight, fast, native, no-nonsense RSS reader. Love it.
Newsify (iOS): I like the article-like presentation on iPhone, very pleasant to read.
Pocket for read later on all devices.

I am exactly the same. I always would prefer to pay once, even significantly more, to get a lifetime licence. I think it’s just psychological…

+1 for Reeder plus Feedly
Many RSS feeds are well defined Google alerts (last Google service I still use, and which I am slowly moving over to Talkwalker)
