    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.

      This might actually help me move away from feedme and greader for android. Both of these apps support Feedly, but the development cycle is extremely slow to resolve some of the bugs it has.

    Reeder app for Apple devices. Been using since v2 and it’s on 5. I appreciate an app that has a reasonable price for killer features, actually gives significant updates for new versions, and doesn’t have a subscription model. https://reederapp.com/

      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.
