Hmm, yeah, SaaS for feeds. It’s tempting to recommend one of those. You know, something you could recommend to your aunt, something that’s easy to use and automatically “synchronizes” across devices.

I was naïvely hoping to get recommendations along the lines of Liferea – but, yes, SaaS is probably what normal users want. (Maybe even that is too much work. I have no idea. I live in a different world. :-))

I’m struggling with this. On one hand, I love to read the feeds as they are. But that only works for some of them, some don’t even include the full article. And as you pointed out, following links is virtually broken.

I also recently discovered that my own feeds are broken for many feed readers. The feeds themselves are fine and according to spec, but the readers don’t care about the specs. Bam, no images show up. How annoying.
