I’ve been in the content aggregation game for nearly a decade. I cut my teeth on the original RSS, survived the death of Google Reader, and have tried every "modern" alternative from Feedly to Inoreader to self-hosted Tiny Tiny RSS. My use case is niche but demanding: I monitor approximately 450 sources ranging from obscure security bulletins, arXiv paper releases, GitHub commit feeds, Substack newsletters, and Twitter lists.
The built-in read-later feature is beautiful, but it has no export function. If you decide to cancel FewFeed, you cannot bulk export your saved articles. You have to copy-paste each one. This feels like a deliberate retention tactic, and it erodes trust. I now use Pocket for read-later and only use FewFeed for real-time scanning.
I’m keeping my subscription for another six months. If they fix the OPML import and add an export feature for read-later, it will be the undisputed king of feed aggregators. Until then, it’s a brilliant, expensive, and slightly temperamental beast.
4.2/5
My wife, a casual blogger, tried to set up FewFeed V2 and gave up in 15 minutes. The settings menu has 78 options. There are three different ways to "mute" a source, and they all behave differently. You need to understand concepts like "feed decay rate" and "dedup confidence threshold." A "Simple Mode" toggle is desperately needed. This is not a casual tool; it’s a Swiss Army knife with too many blades.
