Have you tried Vienna? I've happily used it for the last several years now. It's open-source. https://github.com/ViennaRSS/vienna-rss https://github.com/Vienna

I haven't tried it, heard about it before and—being from Austria—always liked the name. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to support Fever.

  I think you can write plugins for Vienna, maybe that would allow you to integrate that service. Fever is mentioned by a (main?) developer in one of the issues (dated 2013) https://github.com/ViennaRSS/vienna-rss/issues/160#issuecomment-15705208 https://github.com/ViennaRSS/vienna-rss/issues/160#issuecomm...

I second that recommendation, adding only that I also use TheOldReader and it all works pretty well together. I've never tried it with any other kind of sync backend, but I'd like to. If anyone has any suggestions for a FOSS selfhosted sync backend, I'd appreciate them.

Is it just me, or they just don't have any screenshots anywhere? I'd like to see the interface before downloading and running it.

  Yea, this also baffles my mind. It's probably the first thing I look for before even thinking of downloading something. Google images only has screenshots of very old versions it seems. Lack of screenshots usually indicates to me that the interface is probably not worth showing.

      Thank you, that actually looks better than expected.

        I've only had it a week or so and it seems pretty good, you can arrange things in folders and it has smart folders to, which create dynamic lists using criteria - haven't looked at them yet - they're not something I need. It hasn't crashed yet and seems to just work.

  Vienna developer here: Thanks for the suggestion - I’ll work on fixing the website this weekend. We had some issues with Wordpress a year ago and I haven’t got around to finishing the site.

I am huge fan of Vienna on macOS. Currently I have my ~/Library/Application Support/Vienna symlinked to Dropbox in order to have my feeds synced across computers. I wish there was a better, more robust way.

+1 for Vienna, simple and free working solution. It's a reminder that free open-source software is great on only on Linux.
