Fluent Reader is a modern looking open-source desktop app for RSS News Reading
Are you frustrated with trying to source news about your interests from busy social media bias, or all the clutter and distractions of actual news websites? Don't have time to visit 20 different websites to find your news? Or maybe your news for a site is only published every week or two, and you don't want to miss it? This is where a good RSS reader can help you!
Unlike most commercial online RSS reader services which have limitations, or self-hosted services which are a bit more complicated to install and set-up, a desktop RSS reader is quick and easy to get going with.
I explain in this video why you may want to use an RSS reader, and also demonstrate how easy it is to use Fluent Reader, and what it does. It is cross-platform for Windows, Linux, and macOS and can sync reading progress across devices and even with mobile apps.
