| A while ago I tried finding a nice RSS reader that would be detached from the browser, but didn't find too many nice options out there. But as it turns out, Thunderbird actually has a built in feed reader, which now nicely aggregates both my e-mails, spam e-mails and both news that I might care about as well as the ones I don't. So the experience is very similar to dealing with e-mails - occasional items that I care about amongst others that I don't, even if some of the others are useful as well, and having all of that in the same application makes a lot of sense! Here's an example: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2022/05/thunderbird-rss-feeds-g... I even added an RSS feed to my own blog which can now tell anyone who cares about that stuff about new articles. In addition, I'm subscribed to some feeds that pull data from HN so I don't miss like 90% of my comment responses, as well as a "Jobs" feed for the "Who's Hiring?" posts. I currently use this for HN: https://hnrss.github.io/ It feels like RSS is a nice solution for releases of articles and such, I wonder why we don't see too much of it anymore nowadays, though someone would probably claim that it has something to do with ads. |
