I’ve tried Raven but it’s archived and not maintained anymore, Fluent Reader and Feeds both of which doesn’t feel smooth at all. Any recommendations? Preferably desktop and not a self-hosted service.
Preferred the way the old version looked, but I can’t really fault liferea
Pulp.
My personal favourite is fluent reader
It works pretty well for me, the home page has them all. The side bar lists each source individually. You can save articles for later. Im not sure if it has groups to organise feeds as iv not checked that. Mostly i just enjoy the look and feel as it has a good design and the app image is fast (flatpak is slow)
Sort of the opposite of what you asked, but adding here to increase variety
I just use miniflux, self hosted is easy if you have docker-compose and you could access it from your browser locally. It also works great on mobile.
