I’ve been telling myself for a while that I need to write an article about Reeder, this super 👍 RSS feed manager. With version 5 out, I’m finally going to go for it and stop procrastinating!
I’d written an article about News Explorer which lets you manage your RSS feeds without going through a third-party service like Feedly or Feedbin for example. Well, know that Reeder version 5 brings back the same features to replace not only an RSS service, but also a read-later service like Pocket.
Obviously this kind of feature will only interest you if you consume content on Apple devices, since these services rely on iCloud for sync.
A service like Feedly can cost you around €50 a year and pretty much the same for Pocket , so you’re saving almost €100 if you use Reeder.
I subscribe to the newspaper 📰 Le Monde 🌎 and I invite you to subscribe too so the press can stay as independent as possible — that said, I’d written an article about accessing paid articles 💰 through Pocket. Since then I’ve dropped that service in favour of Reeder, which lets me access my password-protected articles in the same way 🕵️. It’s actually faster to access an article directly on the site from Reeder than from Pocket (one extra click).
I’m thinking of buying the latest version of Reeder since I still own version 4, and even though I use a self-hosted service for my RSS feeds (Freshrss ), I’m also testing Inoreader for its more advanced features. So why pay for Reeder 5 if I’m not going to use the main new feature, you might ask? Simply to support 🥰 the developer and play fair 🎰 if I don’t want him to switch to the subscription model.
And you — how do you follow your news feeds 🗞?
