Feedbin Blog

Going to shill for Feedbin (https://feedbin.com). I switched to this in 2012 when Reader blew up and it has remained a consistently excellent product since then. I use the web client, and on iOS I use Reeder app to access Feedbin. Ben even published the a Feedbin API¹, which I wrote a Feedbin client for vintage computers (I called Mosaicbin)². I even use it for YouTube subs as of this year and it ingests them perfectly (and can filter Shorts). I'm still on the original pricing but would happily pay $5/mo current price if it came to that. It's a product that would leave a huge void in my life if it ever disappeared. ¹ - https://github.com/feedbin/feedbin-api ² - https://github.com/jonpurdy/mosaicbin

Same! I use Feedbin (https://feedbin.com/) to aggregate new posts. On desktop, I'll sync Feedbin up with NetNewsWire (https://netnewswire.com/). Substack and Medium both support RSS. You can just type /feed after the URL. e.g., tk.substack.com/feed and tk.medium.com/feed For other newsletters, I use Kill the Newsletter (https://kill-the-newsletter.com/) to subscribe via RSS.

As others have stated, there are dozens of similar services. I recommend Feedbin: https://feedbin.com/

I can recommend https://feedbin.com/ as a great replacement. It's $50 a year, but in return you get a service that is rock solid with an owner who is luckily very good in >> not << implementing features: no feature creep, no breaking changes, dead simple interface, no BS.

I use Feedbin - https://feedbin.com for both my RSS feeds and email news letters - I find it works really well and allows me to favourite things as and when I wish to read them again.

Not come across this list before. I'm being a bit lazy here but do you happen to know if there is a way to consume this programatically? I'm thinking RSS or perhaps an API? Edit: For the benefit of others who might be interested, I've just subscribed using Feedbin's [0] email-to-RSS feature so updates will appear in my RSS reader! [0] https://feedbin.com

I use and recommend Feedbin[1]. The interface is pretty good, privacy is respected as far as I can see, service is hosted on their hardware, not in the cloud, the author is very responsive when issues arrive, and the code is available for self-hosting[2]. It is also how I keep up with people on Twitter and YouTube without having to access Twitter or YouTube. [1] https://feedbin.com/ [2] https://github.com/feedbin

I did this a while back. There are a number of really awesome services now that give you a one-off email address solely for signing up for newsletters, and an in-app reading experience that is markedly better. I've used Stoop [1] for the better part of two years now, and it's a great product with a great model. I'm working on using Feedbin instead so that I can get my newsletter emails in Reeder, which I use for reading RSS feeds. That's my main news source, really. Feedly also provides a lot of this functionality in their Pro+ plan, but they go way above and beyond my needs at a higher price.

I use RSS and read it with Feedbin: https://feedbin.com/ For all then”RSS is dead!” posts, nearly all blogs support it (and the few that don’t can email Feedbin instead of my real email address: https://feedbin.com/help/how-to-subscribe/).

Just giving a shout-out to my favourite: Feedbin https://feedbin.com/

> Every and service that I use has an RSS feed, except for Twitter. I use https://feedbin.com as a RSS backend to any client I can imagine (Reeder on iOS in my case). Feedbin recently introduced a feature that treats and presents twitter searches/users/tags as RSS feed and extracts media and links in tweets. Right along all your other RSS feeds: https://feedbin.com/blog/2018/01/11/feedbin-is-the-best-way-to-read-tw… I think it's a brilliant addition to the service.

I'm a big fan of Feedbin, because it lets you subscribe to any Twitter user's profile as a normal feed and browse it too. It means I can subscribe to 10 or so people I really don't want to miss and get their updates exactly like I would a normal feed. https://feedbin.com/

Feedbin is worth the couple of bucks it costs per month: https://feedbin.com

RSS dumped into a feed reader (https://feedbin.com/) is what works best for me. I can quickly scan missed headlines, read what I'm interested in, star what I want to keep, and mark everything else as read. Reeder on iOS works extremely well for accessing the Feedbin account on mobile.

- http://serializer.io my tool for following HN and reddit - https://feedbin.com for whole range of other RSS feeds ...then I end up here reading the comments. I try not to read my email at the weekend.

Nice post! It's not about news especially ... but I love https://feedbin.com/ in combination with http://reederapp.com/ for iOS.

Feedbin: https://feedbin.com There's a small fee, but it's been absolutely worth every penny. The guy's been able to upgrade servers with demand and spend time on improving the interface (particularly for mobile). There are also third-party apps compatible with it, but I haven't found any of them to be as good as the mobile web interface. It hasn't been perfect (there've been occasional glitches, mostly involving UI slowness), but problems get corrected quickly and the app has continually improved since I signed up, shortly after Reader died. I've been overwhelmingly delighted with it. As for app vs. service, I've found services useful for keeping everything painlessly synched across devices and computers. It would depend on your feed-reading habits.

I recommend Feedbin: https://feedbin.com

I’ve been very happy with https://feedbin.com It’s a paid RSS syncing service and web app too, costs $5 per month, I use it with Reeder (and NetNewsWire etc). It doesn’t have any social cruft or AI assistants or ML companions. I was also a Feedly user when I decided to try Feedbin, and I immediately noticed how much faster fetching the feeds was on Feedbin. I also like to have my email newsletters in same place (forward them to a Feedbin-provided email address), and I can have filters to mark things like sponsored posts and podcast show notes as read automatically, basically like mute filters. Feedly premium tier costs pretty much the same, and I wonder how well it would stack against Feedbin. There’s also Inoreader which I think offers pretty similar feature set for a pretty similar price. Feedly free tier is excellent, and you can work around many of its shortcomings by using an RSS reader app. For example, Feedly free doesn’t offer full text articles, but I can extract the full text with Reeder/NetNewsWire/etc on the client-side. If you really don’t care about speed, mute filters, or reading newsletters in your RSS reader, then Feedly free tier is already more than enough.

It would work the same for me, if only because I'd redirect the email to my RSS reader (via Feedbin[0] or Kill the Newsletter[1] or similar)! I suspect most people who care about RSS would do the same, but the Webflow docs[2] show it being pretty straightforward to set up, and (imo) it's an easy backup hedge against all your comms getting stuck in spam filters. Plus, it just feels more ADHD-friendly to me to reduce ping noise as much as possible.

If you're possibly using Feedbin, I've been successfully using Feedbin's "Actions" to select for Shorts with the search field media_duration and then marking those items unter 60 seconds as read. That feature and the search syntax are a little bit hidden, but are worth it: https://feedbin.com/help/search-syntax/

I've been using Feedbin for a few years and have been happy with it, especially since it syncs with my preferred iOS client, Reeder. https://feedbin.com https://www.reederapp.com

Feedbin, which is currently a backend option for NetNewsWire, also has a web-based UI that works on any OS. [1] [1]: https://feedbin.com/

I find https://feedbin.com/ almost identical (Feedly feels a bit too different for my liking, but is clearly the most popular) but it also feels like times have moved on and I don't find myself using it in the same way. The blogosphere isn't quite what it was back in the late 00s.

Came here to say this, love how this works in Feedbin: https://feedbin.com/blog/2016/02/03/subscribe-to-email-newsletters-in-…

That's doable with a RSS feed service. Some providers which support reading twitter, youtube and other popular feeds without any setup. https://www.inoreader.com/ https://feedbin.com/ https://feedly.com If there are sources that they don't support, you can host your own rsshub instance or use the default. https://rsshub.app/ Happy to help you get this set up.

FWIW, I migrated to https://feedbin.com/ and have been paying $20/year since.

Totally agree about RSS. I think the best thing about email is that authors get to build their own connection to the audience. Either way, there are options to make this happen if you want it: https://feedbin.com/blog/2016/02/03/subscribe-to-email-newsletters-in-…

Yes, I consume: 1. Twitter via Twitter lists using Feedbin: https://feedbin.com/blog/2018/01/11/feedbin-is-the-best-way-to-read-tw… 2. Email newsletters via RSS (also thanks to Feedbin): https://feedbin.com/blog/2016/02/03/subscribe-to-email-newsletters-in-… 3. HN via hnrss.org[†] 4. Reddit via subreddit RSS. (Just add .rss after the subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/golang.rss ) 5. A small selection of hand-curated blogs and friends' sites. If the firehose ever seems too overwhelming (>200 new items), I generally just skim the titles for stand-out items and then mark all as read guilt-free. [†] For example: - hnrss.org/newest?points=50 - hnrss.org/whoishiring/jobs/?q=React - hnrss.org/replies/?id=youruserid

Use https://hnrss.org (customizable HN feeds) and https://feedbin.com (a full featured open-source reader).
