I'm actually a bit sad that it seems there's no decent standard for just syncing the read status and subscriptions, combined with some good native clients (like NetNewsWire, which always was one of my prime examples of why the OS X app space seemed so good in the '00s).
But hosting or paying for a common complete RSS service and accessing that with a limited set of clients seems the only viable approach these days.
Although in the last few weeks, I've foregone centralized services and do it all via NNW in the evening -- saves me from constantly checking feeds, too.
- eisa01 7y agoI started out with NetNewsWire, but have in the past transitioned to Inoreader - web apps work perfectly for RSS as you don't need to sync anything between devices (EUR 20/year for ad-free version) Now if only all services could retain RSS, there's a new CMS being used by Norwegian press that don't support it - I'm actually considering cancelling one subscription because I will miss a lot of the content :/
- unicornporn 7y agoMind me asking what CMS that is?

- unicornporn 7y agoDid not ask what a CMS is. :)
- unicornporn 7y agoWell, there is. FreshRSS and others have settled on the Google Reader API.
- shadowfacts 7y agoI'm writing my own personal RSS aggregator, and one of the things I did for it was writing a spec for a service-agnostic API for RSS aggregators with the goal of being the bare minimum necessary to sync feeds and items: https://github.com/shadowfacts/fervor https://github.com/shadowfacts/fervor
