Miniflux with the paid hosting plan[1].

Things I love about it (from [2]):

> Miniflux is a minimalist software. The purpose of this application is to read feeds. Nothing else.

> The Miniflux layout is optimized to scan entries quickly.

> The design of Miniflux is inspired by Hacker News, Lobsters and Pinboard.

> Miniflux uses Javascript only where it’s necessary.

And the content extraction for truncated feeds, customizable with CSS selectors, is an absolute killer feature that I use heavily.

I'm very happy to pay an annual subscription fee and I haven't looked back once since I started using it. I'm eagerly waiting for NetNewsWire to add support for the Fever API[3] so that I can use it with Miniflux. But the web UI on mobile is good enough to be honest.

Recently they had a database outage. After that they decided to archive unread items after 60 days. If you're like me and have a lot of feeds, this really doesn't work. I've decided I won't renew my subscription next year.


You can host it yourself for free. I do, and it’s great.


I'm aware of this, but first I have to get a VPS. Something I don't have yet.
