I wish them good luck, but I'm happy to have gone with Fever and hosting my reader on my own. I am more and more glad that self-hosting alternatives for applications I use exist. For me, the compromise between the technical challenge to install your own app vs. paying to have it installed shifts towards self-hosting almost every day.

owncloud has a pretty reasonable rss reader. Slightly slow and clunky, but does the trick and has an android reader too. I run it on a $5 per month VPS.

  I personally just integrated selfoss into ownCloud. Was nice and easy, its all PHP :)

NewsBlur is open source and you can set up a self-hosted version of it as well. See https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur

  Oh, I did not know that. Nice to have that option too.

  It's a bit of a hassle to set it up correctly though (I'm not complaining or anything. It just is, compared to other hosted options. I love the fact that it's open source)

    Is it possible to use the iOS/Android NewsBlur apps with a custom set up server?

      I don't use them, so I'm not sure. They are open source [1] so in the worst case, you could still make them work with a bit fiddling I guess. [1]: https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur/tree/master/clients/ https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur/tree/master/clients/

You can also self-host tiny tiny RSS which I highly recommend http://tt-rss.org/redmine/projects/tt-rss/wiki http://tt-rss.org/redmine/projects/tt-rss/wiki

  Make sure to check out the android app too. It's cool to be able to read your self-hosted RSS feeds from your phone with zero hassle.

    The killer feature for me is being able to create a publicly readable RSS feed from within the reader (from either selected bits of what you subscribe to or arbitrary links). I use the app as well and even though the "full" app version is not free ($4, one-time), it's definitely worth it.

  TTRSS is awesome. And the author is deliciously abrasive in the forums.
