G'morning #FediFriends! Do any of you use #RSS readers? Any recommendations? I used to use #Netvibes, but that went belly up last year. Desktop or mobile or both, all suggestions welcome! #Tech #RSSReader cc: @jackyan

CommaFeed is a self-hosted RSS reader inspired by Google Reader.

Fully open-source, privacy-friendly, and built to handle thousands of feeds and users. Perfect if you want to escape cloud-based RSS readers while keeping full control of your subscriptions.

Yesterday I wondered aloud why RSS readers look like email clients.

@brentsimmons replied. Turns out he borrowed that layout for NetNewsWire in 2002 — and twenty years later, he's asking why no one's tried something different.

That conversation became an essay. I built a visual version (with an ASCII fallback).

Why RSS readers look like email clients, and what that's doing to us.

Just a reminder! If you are looking RSS starter packs, The RSS Review has downloadable OPML files for each category. They can be imported directly into your feed reader to subscribe to the entire category at once.

If you want to add a feed or feed category, then post it in the comments.

I've written a little script for the @powRSS account to find posts from the Random section on the site.

The idea is to bring visibility to older blogs which may not have published recently.

This in turn means you can now follow powRSS in your #RSS reader for the occasional low frequency dip into #indieweb discovery.
