There’s a nice feature on RSS apps (best viewed on iOS) in the App Store today.

@manton I’m a bit distraught for Samuel Clay, founder & lead dev of NewsBlur, which is nearing a decade-long run of excellence. Listening to you & @danielpunkass on Core Intuition every week has impressed upon me how important App Store visibility is for indie devs.

@schuth Feedbin is another one I would've liked to see featured. Developers can't rely on getting high-profile App Store placement, but it sure is nice when it happens.

@manton interesting - on the mac they list;

cappuccino, reeder 3, feedly and lire

on iOS;

feedly, inorerader, cappucino, telescope and newsify at the top - with lire, reeder 3 and others as you scroll down but STILL no Feedbin

also noting that ‘feedbin notifier’ has a 4.3 rating an cappuccino only a 2.2

@schuth @manton I love Samuel Clay and NewsBlur, it is the best social RSS reader since Google Reader was killed off. I try to shout it's praises whenever I see a post about RSS readers.

@manton what’s your go-to RSS reader?

@manton But Feedbin doesn’t have a first-party iOS app. I sure wish they did, though.

@joshuapsteele Reeder on iOS and macOS, with Feedbin for sync.

@manton Good to see Reeder and Unread featured there. Great apps I keep switching between. So unfortunate for Feedbin to miss out, they need to have first party apps on iOS/macOS platforms.

And I like the devision between beginners and power users too. Can help excite more people towards RSS.

@manton disappointed that NewsBlur didn’t make the list. (I work on its iOS app.)

@manton Unread on iOS looks pretty good, too.

@dejus That's great you work on the iOS app! Sorry it wasn't featured. From the list, it feels like Apple was going for highlighting some less popular apps, but I wish they had included a few more.

@manton yeah, it’s a pity, but I guess they can only feature a limited number. By the way, in case you didn’t know, NewsBlur is open source; both the server side and clients.

@manton Speaking of RSS... is there a list of RSS feeds that Micro.blog has? I'm specifically looking for an RSS feed of all the posts of those I follow.

@cdevroe Not yet. The problem is that there are a few private feeds (for example to someone's Pinboard items) and we want to filter those out before making the URLs available.

@manton Is there a concept of a private account on M.b? I didn't know that. I could understand excluding those.

@cdevroe Nope, no private accounts. Just noticed that there are some private-ish feeds being used. It's rare but I wanted to be 100% sure we weren't exposing private tokens.
