Rather than having a daily list, I use Feeder (Chrome extension: http://feeder.co/) to read my RSS feeds, I had always preferred it to Google Reader, I never did get myself into the mantra of checking Reader often (it ended up being once every few months, when I randomly remembered) ; however Feeder is nice in its minimalistic approach, just showing me how many items for each feed, which encourages me to zero it out, although unlike Reader it just shows the titles of RSS feed items, so I end up judging whether or not to read an article based on the title.

A few feeds I follow:

News

* Hacker News - https://news.ycombinator.com/ (https://news.ycombinator.com/rss and https://news.ycombinator.com/bigrss [a lot of the posts are repeated over both, and note these are not necessarily the front page posts, my guess is that they are upvoted new posts, so I end up reading some posts before they reach the front page])

you must have a lot of time to be able to read all of them.
You don't really read this every day, do you? If so, how much time do you spend on it per day?
Do you use an RSS reader? If a site doesn't update in a day, its impact on you is 0. By feedreader standards, that would be a fairly small list.

I've got about 40 feeds in mine, most of the fairly quiet. It doesn't take that long at all.

"Rather than having a daily list" I check this very regularly, based on the amount of feed items displayed on the icon. And it's hard to tell, but I do end up reading quite a wide variety of articles some days, other days, I just open the interesting ones, but it's just a sensory overload so on those days, I just end up just opening tabs and leaving them there to read in the future.
Is feeder 19$ a month or indefinitely? They don't mention it on their website.
That's Feeder Pro, Feeder, the Chrome extension, is free.
I know, I was inquiring about the Pro version. Is the 19$ monthly, yearly or one-time. Its weird that they don't mention on the site.
Ah, turns out it is one-time.
