It sounds simple on the surface. You copy a link on a site into a feed reader app. Then whenever that site updates you get a nice readable article on the app.
But that sounds like something that could be accomplished locally. Why does every RSS reader I run into require an account or otherwise rely on the cloud?
Many RSS feed readers let you create an account to sync your read items and such (useful if you have multiple devices, also useful for bad actors to see everything you’ve read…) but there are plenty of readers where it’s not a thing/is optional. On Android, there’s “Feeder” and “CapyReader” (I use the latter) and on iOS there’s NetNewsWire
RSS feeds are incredibly useful, I use them to keep up with all sorts of news. Most feed readers also let you group different feeds into categories. I have mine divided between science, technology, world news, etc.
NetNewsWire doesn’t have its own accounts, but it can still sync your read items through iCloud.
Oop, yeo, they do. But it’s optional I think since I never used it
