Before I renew my RSS reader: are there solutions to these Reader limitations?
Hi all,
My current RSS reader subscription is about to renew, and I'm hoping to switch to something that's more enjoyable to use. I gave Readwise Reader another try for a week, but unfortunately none of the issues I had the last time have been resolved.
Here are my main pain points:
Can't follow public Telegram channels. I can work around this with rss.app, but the feeds don't parse correctly in Reader.
I have to manually switch between RTL and LTR. Reader detects the language correctly, so even a keyboard shortcut on desktop would be a welcome temporary solution.
No way to trigger a webhook for a specific tag.
Only a single email address can be used for newsletters.
RSS feed filtering relies on queries rather than having an option for a simple UI. I have 20+ authors to filter from one feed, and that list changes over time, so maintaining the query is cumbersome.
I'm posting this because I'm hoping I've either missed a built-in solution, or that some of these issues are on the roadmap before my subscription comes up for renewal. I'd love to keep using Reader, but these limitations are making it difficult to justify switching.
