  • Feeder - for reading rss feeds, which takes up more of my time than all social media combined
  • KeePassDX and Aegis - passwords and 2fa
  • Vanilla Music
  • Jerboa
  • Droid-ify
  • Quillpad - note app inspired by google Keep

Can I ask where do you get your RSS from? It's hard to find RSS in sites and topics I'm interested in.

i get mine from Ars, The Register, The Verge, NPR, and Computerworld so far.

Yeah, not all sites have an rss feed or it's hard to find. Here is a few tips:

  • 1/Share the url with your rss reader, the reader can search for you. This doesn't always work.
  • 2/Add one of these to the site's url /rss .rss /feed
  • 3/If step 2 doesn't work look for a "blog" or "news" tab and try steps 1 and 2 there.
  • 4 When all else fails ask for feeds, making sure to state the topics you are interested in.

If you're asking what I think you are, I get mine by searching "best RSS feeds" and then manually looking through the list. Then, if I ever find myself going to a site a lot, I'll see if they have one or if someone has created an RSS for it.
