Reeder Landing Page

Reeder

Reeder is an RSS reader and client for multiple services.

On the Apple ecosystem, Reeder remains my favorite: https://reederapp.com It's got a simple and clean user interface, and it stores the feed in iCloud, so no need for a third-party server application.

I think the reason RSS is not appealing to content creators is because authors don't "own" the email list. And it's quite difficult to have paid content delivered via RSS (still pretty much open/sharable) But from reader perspective, RSS is awesome. You don't have to deal with all the email subscriptions. The ability to unsubscribe/resubscribe in one click is fantastic. And you have number of good RSS readers to fit your need. To my surprised, RSS is still my most requested feature for my little SaaS[0] I wrote a short blog post on how to read RSS on Kindle here[1] [0]: https://ktool.io.

New Google Podcasts

Google Podcasts is launching a redesign on iOS and Android

I will not be surprised if Google relaunches Google Reader in 2023. Without fanfare, and as a simple, limited and low-effort product as Google Podcasts (https://podcasts.google.com). It will be a nice experiment for them, they don't dominate on the Social Media or Newsletters field, and a RSS reader challenges that field in some ways. Also a act of redeeming the killing of that product 10 years earlier (for a mostly nerdy/vocal minority). If successful obviously they will put ads on them later (Google Podcasts remains ad-free for now).
