First let me say - SCREW YOU GOOGLE FOR SHUTTING DOWN GOOGLE READER. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE AND I WILL NEVER FORGET.
I moved over to NewsBlur for my aggregator, and I’ve been really happy with it. It’s a small team, and the dev is very responsive to issues and suggestions. Reading articles online is quick because it uses many of the same keyboard shortcuts that GReader used.
On my iPhone I rotate between Fiery Feeds, Unread, and NewsBlur’s app to read my articles on mobile.
Miniflux
Same. Specifically I use it as a GUI to organize them; for the actual reading, I wrote a script that compiles an E-mail digest periodically: https://github.com/it-is-wednesday/miniflux-mail-digest
cool. do you have a screenshot (or sample) of what those digests look like?
Another hand in the air for Feedly.

+1 for miniflux, has all the features and it’s really light.
I didn’t know about news, might give it a look. I’ve been using Microflux on Android.
I use an instance of FreshRSS (but I plan on hosting my own) and I use NetNewsWire to access it on iOS

I straight up don’t understand how RSS works.
Individual sites have RSS feeds, which are essentially just XML files that contain a list of all the articles on the site.
You run software that’s referred to as a feed reader, which contains a list of all the RSS URLs you want to subscribe to. It either periodically checks to see if there’s updates to the RSS files, or gets notified of updates via WebSub.
This seems great for keeping up on your favorite blogs.
Definitely :)
It used to be the main way people followed their favourite blogs. Google had a great product called “Google Reader” for RSS, and people were pretty upset when it was shut down.
Before Google Reader, it was pretty common for email clients to support RSS too.
TT-RSS
I’ve been using NetNewsWire and it’s ability to sync through iCloud so I can read stuff on my phone or MBA. Bonus that it’s FOSS!
