I've been looking for a good rss reader. Which one did you find?

I use digg reader which isnt fancy but works great for me.

Can't answer for parent, but I have settled for Feedbro, and it actually works really well. I have a couple of hundred feeds, OPML'ed across several readers over the years. Mercifully never the Google one, though.

It's the same I settled with.

The only thing I can think of that I want and isn't included are:

Auto sampling based on pages I visit (like old Google Desktop Search)

and auto following (not sure exactly how) of issues etc that I interact with on github etc.

The best I’ve found for Apple platforms is News Explorer. It costs a little but works quite well and syncs read items between devices via iCloud so you aren’t shown old items when you switch devices.

I am using reader on wordpress.com [0] - it works fine unless you need categories/folders for your seeds.

Miniflux 1.0 (the one that used SQLite)

I switched to Newsblur after the shutdown of Google Reader. It's paid, but after what happened with Reader I realized how important a good RSS feed was to me and that it was worth paying for. The cost is also reasonable.

Feedbro. Weird name but it works and isn't annoying.
