What's your RSS setup right now?

I wonder if we’re the exception or the rule re:Reeder? In this discussion, all of us (who use Reeder), stuck with classic and dislike new. If that’s the case beyond people on this forum, maybe new goes away and classic gets refreshed and moves forward as-was?

Wishful thinking, for sure.

Maybe it’s a larger trend of trying to stay of social networks and scrolling?

The new one could work, if he changed a few things IMO. But opinions vary and we all won’t agree.

I wish I could change a few things. Maybe I can change some of these and just haven’t found the option, but for now I’m back on Reeder classic - eyeing a return to Unread.

My Reeder 6 Wishlist:

  1. Let me change the view of the articles. I just want mostly text titles with small images. I don’t like that each article gets a big block and takes up so much space.
  2. What is the point of folders if I go into my “News” folder and read a bunch of articles, only to see them again if I go back into the “All” feed? If you read them in one spot it should mark them as read and remove them from other locations.
  3. Remove the counts. If the purpose of the app is to reduce count anxiety, stop showing how many articles I have left to read
  4. I don’t know why but I feel like the article list - it scrolls in the wrong direction. It should go the other way.

Just Netnewswire! Nothing else.

I completely agree. I understand the purpose, but it doesn’t fell like RSS to me. Ok, maybe that’s the point, but I get more anxious scrolling a timeline than reading all the articles delivered in order. And being able to “mark as read”.

I’ve tryied Unread, but, for me, it’s too “show-y”: large fonts, bright colors…

You star the articles to read later?

Yup, another vote for News Explorer. On all my devices and synced using iCloud.

I also only use NetNewsWire, with iCloud syncing. My “read later” is really simple. I just don’t read it and it stays as unread for later.

The only caveat is if you leave it long enough, some feeds will remove it. This could also be considered a feature.

That’s more than a little misleading. ReadKit doesn’t require payment.

Sure, you can pay to get extra features but the free features are more than enough.

I chose to pay purely to support the dev, and I don’t use any of the extra features at all.

Yes, sometimes leave the pages on my Safari but not often as I just don’t read them most of the time.

Indeed: ReadKit - FAQ

It’s been quite a while that I used ReadKit (on Mac); maybe I should have another look.

(But Reeder Classic might be my all-time favorite iOS app; love its UI/UX)

Quickly installed it…

Nice: Miniflux support!

Not so nice: only 1 account for free, so I couldn’t add Instapaper and would already need a subscription… (or the lifetime option)

I read this today in the Installer newsletter today.

I’m using Inoreader right now, and the reason is that it loads full articles instead of just snippets. I’ve downloaded NetNewsWire and for most RSS feeds it only loads snippets, is there a way to force NetNewsWire to show the full article?

117

Not an answer to your question, sorry.

But fwiw I use FreshRSS as middleware and it does support retrieving full articles from most sites whose feed only contains excerpts.

ReadKit also allows you to set a feed to load the destination web page rather than the excerpt, which is a nice alternative.

I use both

This should force it. I’m not sure if this setting syncs between devices.
