I don't think it gets quite to the level of customization you want, but I find Feedly to be very good and is definitely cross-platform. Give it a try if you haven't. The for-pay Pro model has some extra features, and I have had good luck contacting their support.

Does one of you want to give a try to lenns.io? That’s a new type of RSS reader I’m working on. It has import/export so you can try and leave easily.

I’m planning for the aforementioned customizations but they are still a few months away.

I make this exact same comment about every new RSS reader.

The information density of Lenns.io is way too sparse.

It displays 9 articles per page on my browser, and I don't seen any way to change that.

By comparison the compact view I'm using in Feedly displays 24 or so articles per page.

I'm not sure if my RSS use is typical, but I suspect it is. I subscribe to a lot of feeds, but I don't actually read but a small number of articles surfaced. I'm not quite sure what the percentage of articles I read is, but I'm guessing it's anywhere from under 1% to upto 5%. It obviously varies a lot by source, but overall it's pretty low.

If I skip 95 articles out of every 100 listed, I need an RSS reader that allows me to glance through a lot of content quickly. Showing me 9 articles per page is going to be far too slow.

I do have some feeds I follow that are visual in nature, for example art related blogs. Those I usually browse with a card view in Feedly, which displays a thumbnail of some sorts with the article.

One default view that's as sparse as the one in lenns.io currently is just not going to work.

I would definitely be happy to alpha/beta test a "different" RSS reader.

Disclaimer: I have used RSS consistently yet, but I have installed a few readers and tried them over the years. Just never broke the old habits. But I should know the gist of it.

feel free to be annoying and email me at the address in my profile if you ever want to (for feedback, brainstorming... etc).

Count me in.

I am using Inoreader at present, and it will be good to have a different "competitor".

How can I contact you :)?
