I’m so happy with NewsBlur, have been for such a long time, so why am I testing Feedbin? Grrrrrrr!

@maique Because you’re one of us! 🤓

@maique peer pressure? I wanted to test, but gave up. Not willing to pay for RSS reading.

@canion @pcora Obviously it started because I saw a lot of talk about it here 😆 But I use Reeder, and both act exactly the same way there. And my NewsBlur account is free forever. There is no good reason to pay for this one... That has never stopped me in the past, but it should!

@maique They’re both really good, to be honest.

@maique

That has never stopped me in the past, but it should!

yea! 🤣 I can say the same.

@skoobz I love a couple of features from NewsBlur, but end up never taking advantage of that, because I use Reeder. I fear that, by changing to Feedbin, I'd have the same exact situation. They're mostly a backbone, and Reeder will show me nothing different.

@maique Feedbin can let you read newsletter in there (not sure if Newsblur has it). But I don't like how they make font colors lighter in their template. Ended up canceling my subscription. Also remember some other UI issues.

You can also follow Twitter lists but Reeder does that natively now.

@maique I believe you’re correct with this. Comparing what Feedbin offers compared to Reeder’s iCloud sync, I’m basically paying for background filtering at this point. Otherwise it’s the same experience.

@skoobz I like their webview a little more than NewsBlur, it’s a lot simpler, less chaotic. But, again, I do read things with Reeder… I think in the end I’ll skip this one.

@yury_mol The do have the same feature on NewsBlur, but I subscribe to newsletters with a dedicated email, and read them on FastMail. I don’t think there’s enough to justify the extra subscription.

@maique Because this is what we do. #GeekLife 😊

@pimoore 🤣🤣 Still not giving them my money, they have a few more days to talk me into it.

@maique My hesitation to drop Feedbin at this point is for its microformat support (which admittedly I still don’t fully understand, and I’m not sure if it applies to Reeder). I’ve also read numerous times that iCloud’s RSS syncing is problematic, but I’m not sure that’s still the case.
