Hi all! I’m considering giving #RSS another try because I haven’t been able to find a news app that works well for me. Before I jump back in, I’d love your advice on a few things:

  1. What RSS reader do you use and recommend?

I’m #Blind and use the #NVDA #ScreenReader, so strict keyboard accessibility is a must. I mainly read on my PC, though a companion mobile app would be a nice bonus. Does your reader play nicely with screen readers?

  1. How do you actually find feeds?

The last time I tried RSS, discovering good feeds was a huge roadblock for me. Are there directories, search tools, or tricks you use to track down the RSS links for sites you like?

  1. Do you have any tips for curation and avoiding overwhelm?

I want to avoid the “huge pile of unreads” problem. How do you organize your feeds so they don’t require high-energy maintenance?

Any tips are greatly appreciated!

    I use RSS a fair amount. I can’t really speak to the accessibility, but I find feeds by searching a web page’s source for the word “feed”. The New York Times has feeds available from this page for different locations and topics.
