And yes, I’m annoyed perpetually by the “tags” concept, which doesn’t exist in OPML, only folders. Utterly awful if you use a lot of tags (folders) like I do. In Feedbin, you have to have the feed visible (unread or switched to “all” mode), the old way you’d hit Tags (folders) and just change the text in the dialog box, but they changed it to an Edit button which pops up a giant list of all your tags (folders) and you switch them on/off. Update: One feature I’m loving is drag-and-drop blogroll reorganization. Maybe it’s possible to open a browser tab in the background?Ī million times better than the years-late, rarely-updated Black Pixel release which had their own broken sync server. For webcomics (which rarely put full-size images in the feed) I often launch a bunch of them into their own tabs and then read them, which in Feedbin’s web UI is (while more-comics? (middle-click title) (press ‘space “next comic”)) and in NNW is (while more-comics? (press ‘b “open the current comic in browser”) (press ‘alt-tab “back”) (press ‘space “next comic”)). Stays in dark mode when I have that selected I’ve seen a couple feeds insert their own background image/color which is obnoxious, but if that’s what the feed contains, it should probably show it. The code’s on github, so worst case I can just fork it and hack my own keys in. I’ll either get used to them or see if I can rebind them from system settings. I’d prefer vi keys, and those are a dangerous habit with Brent’s keybindings ( l is mark all as read, next k is mark all as read I almost never want to do that, and want to hide those behind a warning). NNW has everything keyboard-driven, but I’m not enamored of some of its choices (Help, Keyboard Shortcuts). ![]() I like Feedbin centralizing that nonsense, just replacing the UI has been a problem. NNW also has local OPML subscriptions, if you don’t need to sync and don’t mind waiting forever for it to fetch from every blog and deal with everyone’s crazy broken RSS. ![]() Syncing to my Feedbin account works great the Feedbin web UI is usable, but especially the last redesign leaves me somewhat annoyed, and it has very limited keybindings. NewsBlur helps here a bit as it has filtering, but that takes a bit of time to get right.I’ve been running it for the last day, and it’s stable and fast. I think most sites should offer far more RSS feeds so you can subscribe to the specific things you want to read. Now, my problem is I'm subscribed to too many RSS feeds especially for SaaS products that either rarely update their blogs or rarely publish something I'm interested in (especially updates about their products). I use its web view on desktop, then on mobile use Reeder to sync NewsBlur and Instapaper. And it has a bit of the old Google Reader-style network to discover feeds others like. In a similar vein, you could self-host it if you want, but I'm happy paying for the service to sync feeds. Once it quit being supported and my install had some issues, I ended up going with Newsblur. Download HACK for Hacker News Reader and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac OS X 10.15 or later. It was just simple and easy to use-never worked great on mobile web, but most of the major iOS RSS feed apps supported it.
