dsandler.org/wp

It’s been a while since I surveyed the options for Windows RSS readers.
Last time I checked (about the time I created an RSS feed for dsandler.org), they
all sucked pretty hard (they were either Web servers that ran on your
client, offering all the UI smoothness &Hellip; of a web page, or
they were miserable Windows-3.1-looking applications with acute feature
anemia). My benchmark, of course, was the amazingly polished NetNewsWire for Mac OS X, so
perhaps my expectations were unrealistic.

Fast-forward to today, and I’ve found three that really seem to have the
RSS-reader trifecta (UI that doesn’t induce vomiting, feed
categorization, and read/unread status per-item).
FeedDemon is nice and
slick, but only in beta;
WildGrape NewsDesk is a good
all-around contender (though it has an odd color scheme); and SharpReader, a .NET app with some
very interesting features (like tracking links from one of your feeds to
the next — consult the screenshot
for enlightenment).

So, Windows users (who have privileges to install software on their
PCs): grab an RSS reader, add the dsandler.org RSS
feed, and spare the reload button in your browser!
