Replace your old RSS feeds. RetroFeed is a reader for people who know there's more to a blog than its latest post.
Our Manifesto
The web is full of brilliant writers who've spent years refining their thinking, one post at a time. A blog is a book, but somehow we made it hard to read it that way.
Read-it-later apps work for single articles, but they fall apart when you find a writer with an archive worth exploring.
RSS 42 Unread readers treat blogs like social media feeds, always chasing fresh content and giving you no easy way to look back.
RetroFeed is different.
We believe reading online should be a journey of discovery instead of a race.
RetroFeed is a reader for people who enjoy the journey of reading.
1. Find a blog you like.
2. Add it to RetroFeed.
3. Read it as you want.
Read it in order like a book, read the latest posts first, or start from the longest ones. Your reading, your timeline, without anxiety about falling behind.
Features
RetroFeed tries to extract content from blogs using archive pages and feeds. The algorithm is slow and respects scraping safety measures.
Collect your articles in multiple Reading Lists and personalise them as much as you like.
Save entire posts to read without clutter, ads, or pop-ups. Just you and the words.
RetroFeed supports full-text search for all your content.
Blogs are disappearing, and the ones that survive are getting harder to find. Search engines favor big platforms, social media buries links, and personal websites vanish into the noise.
If we don't build better ways to discover and read independent writing, we'll lose it. RetroFeed is our attempt to push back.
Built by readers, for readers.
