Stress-free RSS reader FeedCity debuted last year

FeedCity by Daniel Pietzsch says that it’s “Your feed reader for a stress-free way to follow websites. Encouraging exploration and sharing.”

In the launch announcement from May 2025, Daniel writes:

The main reason for adding yet another feed reader to the already huge pile, is that I couldn’t find an existing one with the features I’d like to have. Here’s how FeedCity is different, I believe:

  • No unread count.
  • Making feeds visible.
  • Feed exploration and management.
  • Lists: Following sites without a subscription.
  • Sharing & discovery: create public lists to share with others.
  • Openness.

This is more evidence that we’re seeing growth in number of RSS readers and we’re seeing different approaches and different emphases. This one is not just no-unread-counts but also social, with outbound RSS. Very cool!

There’s a new proposed lexicon for Markdown-based content in AT Proto. I could support this. The problem is that currently there’s no good way to have multiple formats, and I think HTML is still the richest, most complete way to represent blog posts.

The one and only you is the human forged by the path that only you are on. Facing the not-knowing, putting one foot in front of the other. She's not your trophies. Because our trophies sit on the shelf. It's the bonds we forge with one another that can guide us to what we're here to do, and to be who we are: the one and only you.
