• Ask HN: How do you organize your life?

  Write things down! All the weird things and ideas, put them into categories and write them down. This categories can also have a to do list. Use some kind of calendar. Try to not read the news on the internet too much. Use a RSS reader.

• Google Reader shut down announced ten years ago today

  In these threads I see a lot of RSS reader recommendations, but never the one I use, which is in fact the only personal software I pay for: https://bazqux.com It started around when Google Reader shut down and had all the exact features Google Reader had. I migrated around 10 years and have been using it ever since. It's blazing fast, always available, and never changes. I just bought a lifetime subscription a few... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What RSS Reader do you use in 2022?

• Ask HN: What RSS Reader do you use in 2022?

  I pay for Bazqux reader because I’d like for it to stick around as a small business with a vested interest in serving my feeds: https://bazqux.com/ That gets read from the Reeder app on iOS or on the web on Windows. Longer pieces get saved to Instapaper for Kindle-reading and archived on pinboard. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• How to quit Youtube, one step at a time

  If you rely on subscriptions: - You can extract the RSS feed. Then import it into a distraction free RSS reader. But again, think twice if you REALLY need it because the habit is way easier to form if you abstain completely. I use BazQux but there are great free alternatives for RSS readers, both on desktop and mobile. Source: almost 3 years ago

• The Old Reader

  I'll put in a plug for BazQux Reader ( https://bazqux.com/ ). I switched to it shortly after Google Reader was killed, and I've used it daily since then. It's simple, the UI is clean, and it _just works_. Totally worth the subscription. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Inoreader now asking almost $10 for a month. Becoming more expensive.

  I noticed the price increase today as well. I was watching this video from Lon Seidman where he talked about how he uses BazQux for only $30 a year and it seems to have the same features and UI as Inoreader. I haven't tried it yet, but if I ever lost my grandfathered pricing from Inoreader I would switch over in a heartbeat. Source: over 3 years ago

• If he is worried about catching COVID, maybe he should get vaccinated.

  I use a (very good) Russian service. The fee is due in November. Given that the last receipts had “Sberbank” all over them, I may well be looking for something else. Source: over 3 years ago

  BazQux Reader (I'm the developer) costs $30/year and allows up to 3k Twitter feeds. Source: over 3 years ago

• How to get 1-minute poll-rate RSS push notifications on iOS (iPhone and iPad)?

  However if the WebSub works for instant updates there are a number available. I run FeedMail which is email-based. You should be able to enable email notifications for these messages on iOS if desired. I also know that Feedbin and BazQux Reader support WebSub but I don't know about their iOS apps.

• RSS Reader that keeps unread articles for longer than 30 days

  BazQux Reader (I'm developer) doesn't remove old unread items but has 500 items per feed cap. It's paid reader though (with a free trial). Source: about 4 years ago

• Built to Last – RSS, HTTP (2015)

  I'm a happy customer of https://bazqux.com. It is a paid RSS reader that seems to be developed by one guy. The web UI is very good, and it's supported by Reeder, an iOS news aggregator app I use. - Source: Hacker News / about 4 years ago

• Want an oldest-first reader that remembers forever

  BazQux Reader does not have 30 days limit on unread items. But it only keeps 500 items per feed so it may not work for you on high volume feeds. Source: over 4 years ago

• RIP Google Reader

  Shout out to https://bazqux.com, a modern Google Reader replacement and the only SaaS I pay for. I'm not affiliated, just really love it. It's been solid and awesome for me for over 7 years now. - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago
