Reading feeds shouldn't be a chore
Foragd is a new-generation feed aggregator and reader for RSS, Atom and JSONFeed formats. Built on a simple bet: that following the web can feel like reading a magazine again, not clearing an inbox.
I'm unsure where the idea that RSS and Atom feeds should feel like email came from, but I'm tired of it.
Why are so many feed readers designed around what is, ultimately, a business-orientated, task-based UI? Why do I need an unread count on my feeds? I can barely keep up with my email — and unread counts are meaningless once they're in the hundreds, if not thousands, which is where most of us end up.
Folders don't align with how I think about organising content. Often, something is both this and that.
Remember magazines? Social media, even? Neither has unread counts or folders; that's moon-man business talk.
What they get right is simple: text that flows, in a UI that's less about organisation and more about showing off the content. I don't want to be pressured into reading until a count hits zero. I just want to read what I want to read, when I want to.
Foragd is different.
