But you're right. I use feedly and have chrome extensions that's give me full articles in a readable fashion.
I would LOVE to visit some of my favorite sites and read articles as the site designers meant for them to be read. But all of the js and ad fuckery makes reading articles online an absolute goddamn chore lately.
So here we are.
RSS revival? Bring it on. I'll play drums.
You charge for a hosted service. You also charge for a self-hosted tool. But you also offer an older (read: crappier) version of the same thing under AGPL.
I like the sound of the product, but there are too many red flags there.
Edit: and no tracking.
Also, I think it might be tiered and not all benefits apply at the lowest tier but all of them should be reasonably priced for anyone in tech.
I mostly consume my feeds on the London Underground, so offline reading is perfect for that, but I tend to have to scroll through articles that are truncated because there's no point in reading them.
You could argue that the infrastructure of the tube network is the problem, not the state of the modern web, but still, it sucks.
I use Newsify with my Feedly account on the iPhone, and it’s perfect. Android clients are also available (sorry, can’t remember names).
But I get it. You need ads to make money, and just putting ads in your RSS feed is not enough because they're not "interactive" enough, or something. You need those "engagement" metrics that you generate by making readers press a button to read the full article.
I was trying and fell short of something witty to say. Just, wow, this is a sorry state of affairs. Just give me the damn content and I'll be on my merry way.
