Like having to listen to Owl City while you wait for a new Death Cab for Cutie album to come out.īut I do feel like I now know way too much about the RSS reader landscape than I every wanted to. But this setup will hold me over until then. This is obviously quite a disjointed setup, and I’m not going to give up hope that there will be One Client To Rule Them All in the coming months. But since the Reeder iPad app is now very old (and still only supports Google Reader sync), I’ll move to Mr. Reader before, but switched to Reeder when the iPad app became available. Reader also just got a major update to support Feedbin. I don’t know how much longer Reeder will be around, but the iPhone client does support Feedbin, and it’s still my favorite RSS client ever, so I’ll stick with it for now. This will be my desktop replacement for Reeder. ReadKit just got a major update to support Feedbin, and it also lets me see and read all my Instapaper and Pinboard links in one place. I really hope they add the ability to reorder and edit tags soon (come on, give the feature request some love!), but that’s the only major problem I currently have with it. So, for now, $2/month for Feedbin is what I’m settling on. There doesn’t appear to be a business model, and there’s currently no way to get your feeds out of the service. I also set up Feedly, and it works nicely, but I’m just a bit worried about the service in general. I tried Feed Wrangler, but the lack of tags/folder structure is a deal breaker for me. So after much weeping and gnashing of teeth, here’s the setup I’ll go with for now. It’s not as polished as Reeder, sure, but it measures up very nicely in terms of features. But alas, it looks like that’s not going to happen. ReadKit (macOS, iOS) ReadKit is a great RSS appone that fits right in on the Mac. I’ve been sticking my head in the sand, hoping that Silvio Rizzi will come to the rescue at the last minute and let me keep using my current setup, which is to use Reeder across all my devices (Mac, iPhone, and iPad). There have been quite a few posts over the past few months about what to do once Google Reader shuts down this weekend.
