Ask HN: What's your favorite RSS reader?

I'm open to paid or free. I know of Feedly and haven't been crazy about it; wondering if there's something better to check out.

When Google Reader got shipped off to the farm upstate, I switched to Feedly briefly, but wasn't very happy with the web client.

Once I found Feedbin though, It's integrated seamlessly into my daily routine, becoming something that I use all day but almost never think about. I consider that the greatest praise I can bestow upon software. It's been worth every penny to me.

(FWIW, I use "Press" reader on Android, which syncs with Feedly, Feedbin and other services, too).

I like NewsBlur. The site training system is very effective at filtering out stuff that I don’t want to see and it has reasonable mobile apps for both android and iOS.

It’s probably one of the more expensive of the hosted options though.

I've been a happy Feedly user since GoogleReader shutdown, and i've recently built Aktu: http://aktu.io

It already has some nice features, and many more to come :-) - Rss feeds - news aggregation from thousands of feeds (like Google news) - content categorization - entity extraction - personal dashboard / master feed for all your rss feeds etc...

ReadKit [1] for macOS is still pretty nice. You can pull in feeds from Feedly, Feedbin, etc and also send articles to a read later app like Instapaper or Pocket. I prefer the native app approach over a web app for this use case. It's also a one-time purchase. Reeder [2] is pretty similar as well.

BazQux Reader: https://bazqux.com .

$20/year, and absolutely worth it. It just works.

That looks appealing; my only hesitation is the sign up methods are Google/FB/Twitter (or OpenID, which I honestly don't know how to use. Is it a pain?)

I like Feedly, been using for like a year.

Only thing I really want at this point is to be able to filter out for certain keywords, but it's a pro feature. Does a different app offer this for free?

I use https://www.inoreader.com/

The UI is kind of similar to google reader.

I like theoldreader.com. It's very similar to Google Reader and worth every cent of its annual fee for premium access ($25 IIRC).

I like to use Thunderbird for reading RSS. It makes sense to me to have RSS in my usual email program.

Thunderbird works really well as an RSS reader. It's only because I read my feeds on multiple devices that I use a hosted service.
