I’ve spent a good chunk of time taking Substack’s RSS reader for a spin, but have decided it’s time to change to a more fully featured reader.

I’ve landed on Inoreader, because it’ll sync across devices and has some really interesting integration options including IFTTT/Zapier for custom stuff.

I figure I’ll be trading accessibility problems with all of them so it’s time to start looking at other features since there’s literally nothing out there that’s fully accessible.

I’m finding myself wondering if they’ll take contributions because, while this looks really cool featurewise, bless their little hearts it needs some accessibility work as far as the interface goes.

I’m still getting used to hacking around this thing but I’ll be a good a11y advocate and try to offer some constructive feedback.

Really like the integration potential though and I need a powerful reader since I use RSS pretty extensively so I’m hoping not to have to switch.
