NewsBlur

Features like saved stories, tagging, full-text search, and offline reading make it practical for heavy information consumers. Social elements allow sharing to your own “blurblog,” following friends, and discovering curated content, which turns a solitary reader into a lightweight network. Architecturally, it demonstrates a production-ready aggregation pipeline, a multi-tenant web app, and cross-platform clients living in one coherent codebase. -

FeedKit
An RSS, Atom and JSON Feed parser written in Swift
FeedKit is an RSS, Atom and JSON Feed parser written in Swift. Build a URL pointing to an RSS, Atom or JSON Feed. A common scenario in UI environments would be parsing a feed asynchronously from a user-initiated action, such as the touch of a button. Remember, you are responsible for manually bringing the resulting closure to whichever queue is appropriate. Usually to the Main thread, for UI apps, by calling DispatchQueue.main.async. FeedKit adopts Swift 5 Result type, as Result<Feed, ParserError>, and as such, if parsing succeeds you should now have a Strongly Typed Model of an RSS, Atom or JSON Feed, within the Feed enum. The RSS and Atom feed Models are rather extensive throughout the supported namespaces. -

RSS Event Manager
Allows you to submit events to an RSS feed via rest api (http post)
This tool was originally written to replace the massive amounts of email sent out by automated build scripts. Once this tool is deployed to a server, your scripts can simply use a HTTP Post to submit events, and users can subscribe to the RSS feed to receive updates, instead of receiving an email for each event. It is trivial to add a new feed, and using http to submit events means that firewalls are (usually) not a concern. -

Open Source RSS Software Guide
Open source RSS software (also known variously as news readers, feed readers, or simply "RSS" for short) is a type of software that allows users to view content from various websites in one convenient location. The software uses an RSS feed—essentially an XML file containing data about the website’s news items, blog posts, videos, images and other media updates—to aggregate all these different sources of information into one spot. This makes it easy for people to check for updates from several sources at once, without having to visit each site individually.
One major advantage of open source RSS software is that it can be freely modified and redistributed by anyone who has access to the original code. Unlike proprietary solutions which limit user customization and control over the product, open source RSS solutions allow users to modify the code in any way they need in order to meet their own specific needs. In addition, there are often no license cost associated with open source solutions meaning that cost savings can be made compared to purchasing commercial solutions.
There are several popular open source RSS software packages available on the market today including FeedReader (Windows), Liferea (Linux), Vienna (Mac OS X) and Tiny Tiny RSS (web-based). Each solution provides its own unique set of features but all aim to provide a simple yet powerful tool for staying up-to-date with your favorite websites and blogs. Some key features common among most solutions include: subscribing/unsubscribing from feeds; sorting/organizing feeds by topics or tags; adding/removing filters; full-text search capabilities; support for notifications when new items appear in subscribed feeds; ability to share items between multiple users; browser integration; publishing tools allowing you to export feed contents in different formats such as HTML or Atom/XML etc.
Open source RSS clients may not always have as many bells and whistles as a paid version does but if you only need basic functionality then they make a great choice for keeping up-to-date with what's happening across multiple sites at once.

Each source usually has an RSS link associated with them - this is typically indicated by an orange button or icon with curved diagonal lines - which you can simply copy and paste into your software after selecting “add feed” from within its menus. Some programs also offer auto-discovery features which allow you to add several feeds at once from a single website address.
That's about all there is too it. With RSS readers being readily available across multiple platforms; there are usually plenty of options out there if one particular piece of software isn't quite right for you either. All that's left now is finding and adding those popular websites or publications that interest users the most – happy hunting.
