Do you have any suggestions on RSS readers?
I've been trying to find a good one, but many of the features I
want are not written down somewhere. In roughly decreasing order of
priority, I'd like something: * That doesn't automatically delete
the items in your feed, either because you have too many or because
it's been too long. Alternately, it could be set ridiculously high
(by quick estimates, if it can handle 1 million items, that's
enough to deal with 250 new items, every single day, for 10 years,
so I'd say that would be high enough, and quite frankly, if I run
up against that limit, I can probably delete some). * Free, but
that seems fairly incompatible with the first thing. Self-hosted,
possibly? * That has some relatively easy way of bypassing
paywalls. * That allows for manual tags (not just folders, because
things can generally only go in one folder) of either feeds or
articles. * That seems relatively stable (not as big of an issue
since it's fairly easy to migrate, but it would still be nice). Do
you have any suggestions?
