Trying the new Reeder app

Have you tried Unwatched specifically for this use case? It’s free and works great.

++ all my years of listening to Connected were worth it if only for that one app recommendation :rofl:. I feel like I have a proper way to keep track of my YouTube subscriptions now.

I have a feeling Reeder 5 isn’t already being neglected lol

See how bad the rendering is

Reeder

And this is how NetNewsWire renders

I’m seeing this across multiple feeds.

I love the new app. I’ve been looking for a non algorithmic “super feed.” If I could figure out a way to RSS instagram feeds it would be perfect. I want a Palma to be my primary electronic reading device and I would kill for an Android client.

Has anyone been using new version? I love classic, and am interested in new version but seems so different. Intriguing to have social feeds in there, might be a healthy way to handle social media. One thing I can’t see if it lets me handle my RSS feeds the same way I did on Classic? More just wondering opinions a few months later!

I am still using. I subscribed at a monthly fee. Primarily usecase is RSS, Mastodon and Bluesky. I like that everything is in one place and I can tag each post privately for future read-later.

I like that if there is a Mastodon/Bluesky conversation thread, it also captures it. And I don’t mind that I don’t get to post to these social networks. I enjoyed reading at my pace.

I’m using it. I don’t like the “scrolling” part of the app, but I’ve got used to my workflow: scroll through the timeline, mark interesting things as “later”, read it all at once on Saturday morning, like a personalized magazine.

The thing that I would fix about it is a download option on podcasts and better “resume” watching playback for youtube. Otherwise I love it.

An export to PDF feature for folders would be brilliant to get it on the kindle

The new version is absolute garbage. Trash. A travesty to humankind.

Reeder 5 Classic had a near-perfect design. It’s such a missed opportunity by the dev to make Reeder 6 an inexpensive $10 a year subscription (something I would pay for even though I hate subs) and have an actively maintained RSS reader.

Such a travesty. What a waste of development time Reeder has become and I think the dev heard it from his fanbane.

I’m still using Reeder v4.1.4 on my M1 MBA running Sonoma. Works and does everything I want.

I’ve started to like the new Reeder, and with the new option to hide posts that are older than a certain period of time, my feed isn’t as cluttered. I use it mostly for RSS feeds and YouTube subscriptions.

My only complaint at this point is that not all my RSS feeds from Reeder 5 can be found by the new Reeder app, and I’m not sure how to fix that.

I’ve given up on Reeder and moved to NetNewsWire. It works great. Open source and renders many newsletters much much better for me than Reeder used to do in it’s hay day.

After a few months, I’m taken with the Reeder UX but it’s not a fit for how I read most RSS (lots of non-linear skimming, checking off entire folders, subscribing just to search later.)

I appreciate that Silvio saw a problem–thoughtless, unappreciative content consumption in classic Reeder–and designed an interface to force a reckoning with it.

A few thoughtful blogs remain in the new Reeder from testing. I’ve found myself opening Reeder every week or so because it’s nice there.
