The Old Reader
Read all your favorite online content in one place
The Old Reader is a feed reader that uses RSS to collect content from websites, blogs, news sources, and other subscriptions into a single stream. It solves the problem of having to visit multiple sites to find new articles by aggregating them in one place, relying on RSS rather than an algorithm to deliver content as it is published.
The service allows users to add websites by typing in their web address, organize subscriptions into folders, and read articles as they are published. It includes social features for sharing items and connecting with friends. The Old Reader works across mobile, tablet, and desktop, with a Google Reader-like mobile API that enables third-party apps. Supported platforms include iOS, Android, Windows Phone, macOS, Linux, and web browsers, with dedicated apps such as Reeder, gReader, and Vienna, as well as browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
The Old Reader is designed for individuals who want a straightforward, algorithm-free way to follow their favorite online content. It offers a free plan, and users can sign up with a username and password or via Google or Facebook. The service is available in multiple languages.
