So far RSS is unmatched for me. I started with Netvibes when I was a teenager, then I stopped for some years, then I installed Aggregator on Android a to be able to follow RSS feeds again. I'm looking for a smarter RSS reader on Android than the existing ones. Features I'm looking for : - automatic deduplication of items - smart labels powered by ML - My own grouping based custom filters AND smart labels - easy access to discussions that might exist on social website for a given link (twitter, HN, reddit) That might be the usecase that would get me started with Android development, but I have not decided if a webapp would be better. Also every news businesses and news distributors on Earth (including Google) are trying to kill RSS to make more money, I don't see who could stop them.

> That might be the usecase that would get me started with Android development, but I have not decided if a webapp would be better. You might already know this but that's actually a very fluid barrier. If you use the angular cli to start a project you can - with one command (ng add @angular/pwa) make it installable on devices after you've deployed it on an https server.

You can try feedly[0] as it has at least some of the above — smart labels, custom grouping and easy access to discussions (on hn at least - I don't use the others). There's also a premium version which may support some of the other features you've mentioned. 0. https://feedly.com/ https://feedly.com/

  I tried few years ago, and it didn't fit my needs. Just tried again : - must sign up to use the application - impossible to select several items to mark them as read/unread (possible in Aggregator, and I can't live without it) - the grouping is based on the feeds (same as Aggregator), but I'm looking for label grouping ala Gmail - must pay for the search/label feature - in text only mode, the items are hard to read. I like Aggregator's way of seeing the source's favicon next to the items - ads RSS is free open standard, it's not supposed to change and does not require maintenance. Aggregator's last update was almost 3 years ago and the app still fully works as intended today. I'm not looking for an app that is updated every week for new features. I tried all the free Android RSS readers under the sun, and none has the perfect combo of features I would like.
