RSS reader recommendations

[superborb]

I'm wondering if anyone uses an external RSS reader for reading their DW pages?

I currently use inoreader, and I find it much easier to use as an interface (and the mobile is great too). I see that DW supports ?auth=digest that would allow flocked entries to be pulled to RSS readers, but inoreader is expensive enough that I wanted to check out the field first. Also, I think there isn't a feed for your reading list, so you'd have to add each subscription as a separate feed...

Additional features I want:
- Hotkey navigation for next articles (j/k for preference)
- "Read" marking (the feature that DW lacks that I find hugely important)

I use newsblur as my rss reader and find it wonderful! it has hotkeys and "read" marking, and several other features that make my internet life so much easier to handle. For example I love being able to say that I don't want to see any posts from a given feed that are tagged with a particular tag, or posted by a particular account.

I assume you're already aware that if you use an rss reader for dw you won't see any friends-locked posts, but I wanted to mention it just to be sure :) I follow several dw communities on newsblur since I don't have that concern with communities and it works great for me!

EDIT: wait I just saw I skimmed over the bit about ?auth=digest, tell me more how that works, it would be very exciting if I could get locked posts in my rss reader too!

So you can access the flocked entries through two ways: https://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse?faqid=118&q=Rss&lang=

But I haven't tested this with an actual reader yet, just looking at the feed directly!

The thing is, paid DW does allow filtering tags already, so it's pretty close to what I want... Just that 'marked as read' and reverse chronological would be enough. I guess having them all in one place + on mobile would be good enough that I would pay more for it, but I'd be less immediately interested.
