I use NetNewsWire, an RSS reader on iOS and macOS. Ars Technica is the main tech news site I follow in there, but also follow a few dev blogs. I find if I have too many general purpose tech news sites there is a lot of duplication of big stories, and the volume becomes overwhelming to the point I give up. So I try and keep it simple. HN fills in some gaps, and I figure if a story is big/important enough, I’ll hear about it eventually.

  I couldn't agree more with you. It does indeed get overwhelming. I was following twitter a lot but I eventually get lost in the swarm over there.

I use RSS for as much as possible (it’s how I found this post). On iOS/Mac I use the Reeder 5 app. I’ve tried dozens of RSS apps and found its UX to be the best, by far. I use RSS for HackerNews[1], Reddit, YouTube, and Substack. [1]: https://hnrss.github.io/ https://hnrss.github.io/

sign up to various newsletters with work email add rss feeds to work outlook (outlook has it built in) I find that by using work email not personal, more likely to look at it.
