"No more RSS"
@michal
Good post. If RSS becomes a burden and a source of anxiety, it needs to go. I am very aware of that and make sure to not follow too many feeds, otherwise I get overwhelmed, too.
And thanks for the mention :)
@michal I definitely understand this, the "unread" count makes it feel like a chore rather than a point of access.
The way I have come to use it is more as a general "this persons site has been updated" notifier, I rarely read the fulltext and just go directly to the site. I also use it to manage my YouTube subs. I don't use it for large news sites otherwise I tend to get overwhelmed.
As for the unread counter, I just made it less visible in MiniFlux, and go directly to the categories section than the raw feed.
