As a greybeard still running Blosxom, I love seeing the resurgence on HN lately around RSS feeds.<p>My setup:<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;feedhq.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;feedhq.org&#x2F;</a> for syncing between mobile and desktop or reading via web browser. $12&#x2F;year or grab the source and host it yourself. Easily import&#x2F;export OPML, so you&#x27;re in charge of your subscriptions.<p>2. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;reederapp.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;reederapp.com&#x2F;</a> for reading on iOS and macOS<p>3. Inspired by Slow Feeds (recently renamed as Web Subscriber <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;zoziapps.ch&#x2F;web-subscriber-5-0&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;zoziapps.ch&#x2F;web-subscriber-5-0&#x2F;</a> ), I added a new &quot;Slow&quot; folder with all of the high-quality, low-frequency feeds. Made my daily reading <i>far</i> more pleasant.

Let me pitch you a different way of doing it. I use TinyTinyRSS <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tt-rss.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tt-rss.org&#x2F;</a> as a backend to synchronize what I&#x27;ve already read but I don&#x27;t like the UI so I wrote a desktop app as a front end: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jeena&#x2F;feedthemonkey" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jeena&#x2F;feedthemonkey</a><p>I sometimes read my feeds on the phone too, there I just use one of the many apps compatible with TTRSS.

Why a max char count for password?? The max of 12 is awfully small.<p>Edit: The app is quiting when I try to scroll through Ars Technica in List view.

Your ToS starts off by stating &quot;This agreement is a legal contract between you and us.&quot;, but there&#x27;s no definition of who &quot;us&quot; is, there&#x27;s no page that I can find identifying who you are or what your registered address is in case of a dispute.<p>Edit: I&#x27;m looking at your web page (I don&#x27;t have any Apple products, so I can&#x27;t see what your app has).

One more vote for being able to use your app w&#x2F;o signing up. My current RSS reader doesn&#x27;t require a signup...

I’m sure it’s wonderful, but I’m not giving my email address to an RSS reader. Thats kind of the whole point.

I bookmarked Telescope.surf when it was first announced here.<p>I&#x27;ve grown to like it a lot. In fact, just this morning I bookmarked on my iPhone too. I like the idea of a &quot;app&quot;, but the web site works fine and I don&#x27;t put many apps on my phone but I&#x27;ll just keep using it as is in Safari.<p>It&#x27;s especially nice since Apple mucked up their &quot;News&quot; app in their last upgrade and I&#x27;ve not used it near as much since.

Any details on how it compares to eg. Reeder?

Although this is interesting and looks good, I don&#x27;t think its going to be better than what I have now in Feedbin.

Here’s my take on a minimalist RSS reader: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;teamdashboards.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;teamdashboards.com</a><p>This is a work in progress. Customization doesn’t work yet. I’d like to get feedback. If many people like this interface I’ll continue developing it.

Sweet! Tired of the Apple news app shoving crap down my throat that I don&#x27;t want to see.

You can follow <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pxlet.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pxlet.com</a> if you don&#x27;t want to get lost in all the different sources and it comes with bunch of other features. I check this one everyday now.

The initial checkboxes (where you select news sources) are really slow. There&#x27;s a half second lag for me between touching the screen and seeing the checkbox get checked in the UI.<p>Are you rendering the checkbox as checked only after a server trip returns?

I&#x27;m using rss2email with multiple categories on a dedicated IMAP account + sieve to organize into IMAP folders (using + email separator) and discard &#x2F; filter topics I don&#x27;t care about.

Could you open it to more countries? Seems nice, but it&#x27;s not in Mexico&#x27;s App Store.<p>I&#x27;m using FeeddlerRSS out of the limited options of good RSS readers in my country, but I&#x27;d like to try others.

I like it. Have you thought about adding any simple Social features yet?

Needs an account? Pauses music on startup? WTF is going on? License agreements? What the heck is this app up to? I immediately uninstalled it, sorry.

I&#x27;ve been using telescope.surf on and off since it first launched. I really love it and it renders rather well on Firefox for Android.

I started using it a few weeks ago, and finding it really useful. It has made to the front page of my iPhone! Good work.

Requires iOS 11 or higher.<p>I&#x27;ll try it some other time. I&#x27;m just not ready to give up 10.3.3 on my 6S yet.

Is there a way to subscribe to certain keywords?

News based on popularity is inherently biased. A quick look through the web feed shows that most, if not all news are from left-leaning publications.

This is a free app and looks pretty cool, but may I ask how do you make profit?
