Based on my own personal usage, it makes total sense that RSS feeds still get a surprising number of hits. I have a small collection of blogs that I follow and it's much easier to have them all loaded up in my RSS reader of choice than it is to regularly stop by each blog in my browser, especially for blogs that seldomly post (and are easy to forget about).
Readers come with some nice bonus features, too. All of them have style normalization for example and native reader apps support offline reading.
If only there were purpose-built open standards and client apps for other types of web content…
- ungreased0675 10mo agoDo you have a recommended iOS RSS feed reader?
- carlosjobim 10mo agoNetNewsWire is great on iOS and OS X. Use the share sheet to subscribe to blogs.
- cosmic_cheese 10mo agoThis is what I use. It’s on macOS too and amazing on both. Super fast, focused, and efficient. It’s by far the best I’ve tried. Most other macOS readers aren’t memory managing their webviews properly which leads to really bad memory leaks when they’re open for long periods.
- Tomte 10mo agoCan also be used as a frontend to FreshRSS.
- fuzztester 10mo agoSame question, but for Android and desktop / laptop too. Never used RSS much before, hardly, in fact, I don't know why, even though I first knew about it many years ago, but after reading this thread, I want to.
- jcgl 10mo agoI like RSS Guard a lot on desktop. It’s reasonably featureful, while being snappy and having options to slim down the interface. https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard

- walterbell 10mo agoLire app on iOS does optional RSS caching of full text and images for offline reading.
- domysee 10mo agoI wrote an article about the different kinds of feed readers and listing a bunch, maybe that's useful: https://lighthouseapp.io/blog/feed-reader-deep-dive https://lighthouseapp.io/blog/feed-reader-deep-dive
