Artificial Intelligence and Personalization

Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in various areas of life, and RSS readers are no exception. The future of RSS readers will likely see more use of AI to personalize content. Machine learning algorithms will be able to analyze your interests, preferences, and reading behavior to suggest more relevant content. RSS readers will provide article recommendations based on your past behavior, making the reading experience more convenient and productive.

Integration with social media and platforms

In the future, RSS readers will probably integrate more closely with various social media and online platforms. This will allow users to get updates and content from their social media accounts, video hosting and blogs right in their RSS reader. This will save time and help users stay up-to-date without having to switch between different applications.

Multimedia content and podcasts

With the development of Internet technology, multimedia content is becoming more and more popular. In the future, RSS readers will probably support multimedia content such as audio and video as well as podcasts more extensively. Users will be able to subscribe to their favorite podcasts and receive automatic updates of new episodes right in their RSS reader.

Mobility and synchronization

Mobile devices are becoming more prevalent among internet users, and RSS readers will adapt to this change. In the future, users will expect full mobile support from their RSS readers, allowing them to read content anytime, anywhere. In addition, synchronization of subscriptions and settings between different devices will become standard, allowing uninterrupted access to content without the need to re-configure.

Enhanced filtering and sorting features

As the amount of content available increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of the topics and authors that interest you. The future of RSS readers will likely bring new filtering and sorting features that allow users more flexibility in customizing their content stream. Smart filters, tags, and the ability to mark and delete articles immediately from the feed will all help make reading more convenient and organized.

In conclusion, the future of RSS readers promises to be exciting, with the introduction of new technologies and features that will make the process of reading news and content online even more convenient and personalized. RSS readers will continue to be an important tool for those who want to keep up to date with the latest news and content of interest from a variety of sources.

Below will be a short list of the most relevant solutions now:

Feedly

Quite a popular project with a convenient clear interface. It has a function of recommending new sources on your interests in order to find interesting reading. In addition to traditional RSS, news sites, it also supports tracking Youtube subscriptions, Twitter and others. There are premium more advanced features like compatibility with third-party applications, but the basic for regular reading – quite enough.
Inoreader

Inoreader

This program (like most in this field) also allows you to follow any kind of content: Twitter, Facebook, RSS Feeds, podcasts, Youtube and even newsletters. In the regular free plan you are allowed to add an unlimited number of sources + there is a possibility of their effective filtering (for example, disabling entries by certain criteria). The software is easy to use and quite versatile, there is a mobile app, keyword search, etc.

Feedspot

It has a cool built-in search option that allows you to search for relevant information among the content from your subscriptions. Again, all current types of content sources are supported + you can combine several newsletters into one digest. The interface is simple, but at the same time functional – there is sorting, sorting in social networks, grouping channels into different RSS categories.

NewsBlur

A popular reader that allows you to view articles from websites in the same way as they are displayed online. At the same time, it works as a recommendation content service, meaning it will show the notes you are most likely to like and hide the unnecessary ones.

There are categories/tags to structure your catalog, content search, and integration with third-party offerings. About 60-some resources are allowed to be viewed for free, though a premium rate is also plus or minus available. There’s a web version and apps for all mobile OSes.

The Old Reader

A solution for fans of the simplest and most minimalistic design. Great for content sharing with friends – you can connect Facebook/Google accounts and get recommendations from them. There is a tab for trending articles that most users like. The free version allows you to track up to 100 RSS feeds. For more of them and search function you will have to take the premium version. Developers offer solutions for most operating systems and platforms.

FlowReader

Allows you to combine content from RSS and social networks in one place. Add all the blogs you want to follow to the system, there is no limit to the number of blogs you can follow. View post titles and read only what interests you.

You can also connect your accounts from Pinterest, YouTube, Reddit, etc. to FlowReader to be able to follow all users, channels, and topics from different sources. As in other programs, there are necessary options for structuring RSS feeds, sorting and shering. All for free!

Feeder

Allows you to view RSS feeds in their original form on any device. The logic of work here is similar to other solutions, but there is one difference – in addition to the usual reader you can use a special application for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Yandex browsers to read RSS. This is especially handy if you’re used to quickly browsing headlines and not getting distracted by studying the whole article/news.

You simply click on the RSS icon in your browser and you’ll get a list of headlines of recently published notes. Click on any of the entries if it interests you. There is a mobile app (iOS and Android) where you can also get your RSS feeds with headlines and simplified content to read them wherever you are.

Feeder RSS

There are content selection filters, in the free version up to 100 feeds. Updates are not displayed in real time, but those notes that were published 2 or more hours ago are shown (interesting option to buy the premium version).

Feedreader Online

Another simple content aggregator with no unnecessary details. Here is the simplest functionality – collect the necessary RSS subscriptions in one place, view the content of feeds in collapsed or expanded form, as well as mark favorite items to read them later. From the basic tools for work there is sorting and grouping subscriptions into categories, hotkeys for navigation and work with the application.

Bottom line. RSS technology itself, I think, will live for a long time, because it is a very good way to distribute and aggregate information in XML-format. As for RSS reader programs, now they can collect information from different sites – news, social networks, video hosting, not only blogs, which allows them to stay afloat.
