I wish software could be captured in time with particular versions. Like, can I continue using this piece of software as it is right now, forever?

I tried different options like Feedbin or Feedly, but my favorite and the one I use every day is NetNewsWire. I use it on my phone + desktop.
Inoreader is great for getting started. When I wanted to move off a monetized platform I was pretty happy with NetNewsReader. I then needed to sync articles from Mac to Android so I went with self hosting yarr, it’s a single executable application that uses SQLite without needing an external database (unlike miniflux). I can access my feed online from any device.
FreshRSS is another great choice, it supports multiple user logins unlike yarr.
There are also a few other options that shows you an aggregated list of new articles and you have to read them from the original website. Some lets you share your list of feeds via a public URL.
Personally I prefer to use the browser plug-in FeedBro
There’s no accounts, it doesn’t cost any money, and it also has some organization and filter options. It’s nice because I get a little notification notice on the plugin on my browser so I get easy notifications for when the blogs and webcomics I follow update, without having to open a specific program or log into anything.

Seconding Feedbro! The notifications easily viewable in my browser are what really keeps me using it. Super convenient, especially for keeping up with current forum discussions as they happen.
It’s Reeder “Classic” all the way for me, too.
On the one hand, the app really does feel complete. On the other, it seems obvious that it’s being sunset in favour of the new “vision” for what Reeder should be. Hopefully kicking down the can for a few years or maybe ten is a viable strategy for dealing with it. Every other reader I’ve tried feels like a “low resolution” option compared to Reeder.
