I built my own RSS feed reader web app. The difference is that it proxies the HTML of the article page, transforms it (e.g. removes advertising, adds custom styling/scripts) so that I can view the original article but with modifications to the website. I have other features like headline filters and the ability to load non-feed pages like the NYTimes home page as a feed item.

The feeds themselves are mostly random subreddits, Hypebeast, some NYTimes sections, etc.

It works a lot better than manually going to each website and browsing around looking for new content.

Yeah, I use my own opinionated feed reader, too. I’ve also structured it so that others can use it, too. lenns.io - the top feature for me is setting different priorities per source or category.
