Ask HN: RSS backend with 30 days retention?

5 points by avifreedman ↗ HN
After Google Reader went away I switched to Feedly, but they only keep 30 days of items (as did Google).

Does anyone know of an RSS backend that keeps more? Preferably 90+? And ideally with search functionality.

I use Fever[1] which is self hosted and lets you keep items up to 10 weeks.

Thanks! I had seen that and may have to go that route.

I was hoping not to go down the self-hosted path as I'd wind up spending way too much time tinkering (gatewaying to Usenet, adding features, etc).

Try inoreader, it keeps a full history[1] and has full-text search.

BTW, Google Reader kept 300,000 items per feed, not 30 days worth. Are you thinking of unread status instead? inoreader has the same limitation.

Hmm, I thought it was also doing 30 days max. Feedly is doing that now for sure.

I will check out inoreader - looks like even if it doesn't archive the items forever or for a long time, it can support push to "Pocket, Instapaper, Readability and Evernote" which would wind up doing the same thing. It'd potentially make browsing by feed more difficult but may be worth a shot.
