What RSS client do you guys use?
Is there a RSS client that gives desktop notifications when something new gets posted to the RSS?
I feel like i'm always slow to get the news and i would like to subscribe to some RSS feeds but dont know of a desktop app
Yes. Thunderbird does all of these and much more. I heavily use it for rss, emails, irc etc.
Thirding Thunderbird.
Fourthing.
Though I'll also throw a mention to Liferea. I tried it briefly a while back and, while I didn't stick with it due to some minor issues (can't select multiple articles at once and tray icon counter didn't work for me), it seemed pretty good.
not op, but I didn't know thunderbird did this, thanks!!
feedbro on firefox
feeder on android

^^^ THIS
stop asking, that's the final answer as always
miniflux doesn't run for me but that might be because my pc is really old.
all of the others are pretty good with a clean UI and rssguard is portable which is nice.
Some of these recommendations from other anons are pretty shit. I had a hard time finding basically competent rss readers that weren't ugly UI or software as a service. I can assure that my recommendations will at least meet your basic rss needs.
>feeder on android
Yes, because the best device to read on is on your phone.
>feedbro on firefox
He said desktop app.
for me it's thunderbird
I use Akregator on Linux and QuiteRSS on Windows.

The author is some flavour of russoid, he's probably on a front line or already dead.
honestly pretty sad

wayback machine also has a version of the website from two weeks ago
The built-in client in Vivaldi
theoldreader dot com
I used Googles thing back in the stone age, then switched to TheOldReader when that got killed. Never looked back.
sfeed
cute name
Inoreader
I think it's not worth what I pay for it but I'm too lazy to switch to something else.
RSS Guard. It has notifications and a notification area icon that shows the number of unread entries.
Outdated version of TinyTiny-RSS, because it can be connected to a mobile app and I can't find anything else that manages folder browsing as good.
Is there a good RSS client for YouTube on PC? The immediate problem is that it grabs shorts and livestreams as well. There was a Mac centric one that required payment, I forgot the name of it, which allowed filtering by video duration, but that's about it.
You don't need a RSS client just for YouTube. Edit this URL for a specific channel and paste it in your client of choice.
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=THE_CHANNEL_ID_HERE
I know anon, read the entire post. I was asking because RSS clients pick up everything in one place and I want one that can distinguish between shorts and livestreams and regular videos as I only really watch the latter.
Use filters.
Most channels don't tag their stuff.
I use Thunderbird for youtube RSS and receive it with the thumbnail of the video, so I can tell if they are shorts or not. Picrel.
ok but how about not having to go through a lot of spam every day?
>with the thumbnails
How? For me it only shows the title.
Thunderbird has an extensions store. Get picrel.
newsboat!
piped added an option to filter shorts from their rss feeds last month
>What RSS client do you guys use?
None, because most RSS clients for Windows are browser-based and the few that aren't have either been abandoned or are pure garbage.
FreshRSS via FeedMe and Rssguard
Used to use Newsblur which is still in my opinion one of the best but it's very hard to self host
Will try out Thunderbird once it gets an Android release and comes with RSS
opera mail
no, i will not update
isn't this just opera 12 with all the browser stuff removed?
which client is best for downloading podcasts?
my own freshrss instance that sends notifications via the browser
>yarr is not mentioned yet
I've tried many and this is by far the best.
>yarr (yet another rss reader) is a web-based feed aggregator
Into the trash it goes.
RSSGuard is all you need. Has notifications but I don't use it as I have a lot of feeds it can get annoying. If that's not what you're looking for check out: https://wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/RSS#Recommended_RSS_Clients .
NetNewsWire
I host my own, of course. Like most things I use.
Freerss
Vienna on mac
Vivaldi's feeds on everything else
rssguard has a nice filtering mechanism which you'll never realize you needed until you give it a shot
FreshRSS
Isn't RSS dead abandoned technology? I'm not being ironic. I am literally asking.
no. I still do 95% of my internet consumption through rss.
It seemed to fall out of popularity for a while but it was never dead. It seems to be making a bit of a comeback recently, which I think is good anyway since it was always way better than having to juggle a bunch of fricking gay social media sites for information. Twitter killed official RSS support years ago because they are gays.
Suggestions for a headless RSS client with programmable hooks? Something simple I can run as a self-hosted daemon.
I could throw something together, but I really don't like XML.
is there any rss feed collector that can be installed in an openwrt router?
