Lenns.io

The feed reader for people that want to be in control
Pricing:
- Free
With this in context, anyone here that wants to beta-test my feed-reader (opinionated) that gives you tools to better track feed reads? - you can assign priorities to your feed subscriptions or their categories - you can limit the number of items you can see per feed so that they can't overtake your "dashboard". https://lenns.io/ (p.s. Thanks for any feedback).

Superfeedr

Real-time feed API - RSS and Atom over PubSubHubbub and XMPP. Superfeedr pushes RSS feeds in real-time for both publishers and subscribers, with open protocols and APIs.

Youtube does still have feeds. The bandwidth can be reduced if readers use the If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since headers when requesting feeds (so if the feed hasn't been updated, the server can return an empty response). I also imagine that as feed readers become more mainstream, you'd start to see more intermediaries for fetching feeds like Superfeedr[1]. [1] https://superfeedr.com/.

Miniflux

Miniflux is a minimalist web-based RSS reader. It's very easy to use.

I love Miniflux [1], but you need to self-host it - probably not something for the typical Twitch user. [1]: https://miniflux.app/.

Https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0472.html I've built Movim (https://movim.eu) on top of that and many users have already access to thousands of articles daily, pushed in real-time in their timelines. For example here is the ArsTechnica page on Movim https://mov.im/?node/news.movim.eu/ArsTechnica.
