My reading stack with Miniflux/RSS and Pocket (cri.dev)

What is the point of using a selfhosted RSS solution and then use Pocket?

This is basically what I do too.

I'm using Feedbin (paid, $5/month) as I find their Twitter integration superior to anything else I've seen (it shows threads as one entry, it retains some of the Twitter UI elements, and it fetches the content of links so I can read them there, I can just add people to a Twitter list and subscribe to that list in Feedbin). It also lets me add Twitter searches which lets me read people's replies.

One more source you can add is Reddit. I usually only go for the top posts, like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/coolgithubprojects/top/.rss

I then use Instapaper for deferred reading.

> I found myself checking the HN frontpage way too often, only to make a visual diff in my brain to skim through the articles I already read.

Check out hckrnews[0]. It gives you a clean chronological list of entries that you can filter down to top 10, 50%, frontpage and all.

It also marks the point where you last visited, and dims the entries that you clicked.

Miniflux sounds like a better, more complete version of my side-project[1], I had rolled my own at the time because I wanted offline caching but it's obviously not that useful anymore in our current work-from-home world...
