    First let me say - SCREW YOU GOOGLE FOR SHUTTING DOWN GOOGLE READER. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE AND I WILL NEVER FORGET.

    I moved over to NewsBlur for my aggregator, and I’ve been really happy with it. It’s a small team, and the dev is very responsive to issues and suggestions. Reading articles online is quick because it uses many of the same keyboard shortcuts that GReader used.

    On my iPhone I rotate between Fiery Feeds, Unread, and NewsBlur’s app to read my articles on mobile.

      +1 for miniflux, has all the features and it’s really light.

      I didn’t know about news, might give it a look. I’ve been using Microflux on Android.

    I use an instance of FreshRSS (but I plan on hosting my own) and I use NetNewsWire to access it on iOS

      Individual sites have RSS feeds, which are essentially just XML files that contain a list of all the articles on the site.

      You run software that’s referred to as a feed reader, which contains a list of all the RSS URLs you want to subscribe to. It either periodically checks to see if there’s updates to the RSS files, or gets notified of updates via WebSub.

          Definitely :)

          It used to be the main way people followed their favourite blogs. Google had a great product called “Google Reader” for RSS, and people were pretty upset when it was shut down.

          Before Google Reader, it was pretty common for email clients to support RSS too.

      It was only about a week ago I had no idea what RSS was used for. And today I’ve subscribed to Inoreader to trial it out for a month because it’s freaking amazing!

    I use fresh rss since its rather easy to selfhost, and read you on my android. Unfortunately read you doesn’t play well with fresh rss yet.

    I pay for access to Newsblur which is an RSS aggregator with open source mobile apps. For stuff like bug feeds and tracking wiki updates on projects I use elfeed within Emacs.

    I’ve been using NetNewsWire and it’s ability to sync through iCloud so I can read stuff on my phone or MBA. Bonus that it’s FOSS!
