I've tried Raven but it's archived and not maintained anymore, Fluent Reader and Feeds both of which doesn't feel smooth at all. Any recommendations? Preferably desktop and not a self-hosted service.

Newsflash is the best from all I tested and even works nice on mobile.

I've tried them all. He's right. It's the best. It's very reliable.

RSSGuard for most things, newsboat for keeping track of software releases on github.

RSS Guard was actually great. I love the more old-school but super functional UI. I don't need any fancy stuff, just stuff that works. Awesome tip.

I use RSS Guard

Sort of the opposite of what you asked, but adding here to increase variety

I just use miniflux, self hosted is easy if you have docker-compose and you could access it from your browser locally. It also works great on mobile.

services.miniflux.enable = true on NixOS is even easier

My personal favourite is fluent reader

I like FreshRSS in a container, works great from a browser, and you can hit it from your phone on the loo...

If a firefox add-on is okay: Brief

Preferred the way the old version looked, but I can't really fault liferea

In case you like feature-rich software, QuiteRSS is good.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

I like Read You. It integrates nicely with FreshRSS, too.
