πŸ“„ I yesterday mentioned to @maique that I had an RSS crisis last year, switching from one app to another, but eventually found peace of mind with Inoreader (as source manager & Windows reader) & Reeder Classic (iOS), where I've been using this setup for months now.

Ironically, also yesterday, I bought a new RSS reader, called Current (9.99€ - iOS/Mac), also supporting Inoreader as source.

But here me out. It uses the concept of a river for read-later which I first heard of via an article of Oliver Burkeman. In essence, read-later is not about catching up, but rather about plucking items that interest you. Current, adheres to that principle, not showing an unread count and purging the river of older items (with a lot of choice on how that is handled), removing the feeling of overwhelm and the need to catch up.

I've only been using it for a day now, but I like it very much. The experience is very nice, as well as the tweaking, and the fact I don't need to mark everything as read offers peace of mind.

And if I ever need it, I can go to Inoreader or Reeder classic to check a specific source and all its publications.

And let me also suggest to check out the in-depth explanation of Current by Terry, and his article on phantom obligation, which put it all in motion.
