follow.it VS Blogtrottr

I've looked into follow.it, since that's what Coding Horror uses, and that looks pretty darn close. One issue there I'm trying to figure out is I'd like to avoid putting the entire blog content on another site, but rather direct people back to my site, and it looks like the entire blog post goes on that site.

There is also https://blogtrottr.com/ which has a free plan with ads. It seems to update hourly on the free plan. (I used this service for years before creating my own, I can highly recommend it). Source: 11 months ago

There are other services available as well. The keyword you are looking for is rss-to-email. I used to use https://blogtrottr.com/ for years before making my own and they have an ad-supported free tier if you prefer that. Source: about 1 year ago

I'm using my own RSS-to-Email service https://feedmail.org but I've also used https://blogtrottr.com/ in the past. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

And you can get realtime RSS→email at https://blogtrottr.com/ for free (ads in emails). Or use some other RSS app. Source: over 1 year ago

I use my own RSS-to-Email service https://feedmail.org/. I've written about my setup and why I prefer RSS-to-Email on my blog nearly a decade ago https://kevincox.ca/2013/06/27/email-as-rss-reader/. I used to use https://blogtrottr.com which I do still think is a good product, they just didn't quite fit my needs so after about 8 years I ended up creating my own. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
