Is there an RSS reader that just shows whether a blog has updated? Rather than email-inbox-style

Wait 5 sec.

I want a feed reader that shows me just the most recent article of every blog I follow. Does this exist? Ideally, the left panel would be a list of all the blogs/rss feeds I follow, grouped into folders/categories. And, on the right, if I clicked on a category, it would show every blog I follow in that category, in a card view, in a constant order (alphabetical or date-added) and it would show just the thumbnail and title of their most recent article and the date last updated. Maybe an optional notification of 'number of unread articles', but I don't really need it. If it shows me the most recent article, I will know if I'm up to date or not anyway. I would like to then click on the card, which would open the blog in my browser, and I would read back as far as I needed. If there is a 'unread notification', this would clear it. Everything I can find looks like an email inbox, and shows every single new item mixed up together. I really like the idea of rss, but this interface is too overwhelming to me. The interface doesn't have to be exactly the way I described, but I do want it to show the blogs I follow in a fixed order, and only show if a blog has updated. Rather than a full feed of every article mingled in together. I know this is sort of contrary to the purpose of a feed reader in a way, but I figured if anyone knew this sub would. And if it doesn't exist, at least I'll know if I can stop looking. -- Using Mac 15 Catalina (with no icloud, so only .dmg/brew/github, no app store.) Preferably also runs on linux but that's optional. Prefer local app over browser-extension. I don't need or want any sort of cross-device-sync. FOSS would be best, but I'll take one-time paid.   submitted by   /u/Emotional-Ocelot   to   r/rss [link]   [comments]
