How to choose
Decide first what job you need done: reading feeds, or creating feeds for sites that don't offer one. For the second, DIYgod/RSSHub generates feeds for sites without native ones. For reading, the next question is whether you want to host it yourself: miniflux/v2 is a minimalist self-hosted reader backed by PostgreSQL, while Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire is a free native app for macOS and iOS with nothing to run.
- RSSHubBest for anyone who wants to follow websites or services that don't offer RSS, since it generates feeds for them.
- v2Best for people who want a minimalist reader they host themselves and are fine running PostgreSQL.
- NetNewsWireBest for Mac and iPhone users who want a free native app and no server to run.
