I really appreciate Marco’s candor and willingness to share his story. Just curious, anybody have any idea what RSS reader he uses? (Maybe he has mentioned it on one of his many podcasts.)

Really helpful.
When are we having Ray’s interview :grin:

He’s mentioned FeedWrangler a few times in the past.

I find Marco inspiring and I love Overcast. Hopefully, I am able to work for myself later this year, if not next year at the latest. It would be nice if my startup got bought for millions and my shares gave me a nice launchpad, but I’ll settle for the reality of bootstrapping myself, haha!

Found my way here via Marco’s site. Not a developer but work with a bunch and appreciate the insights.

Would recommend news blur for RSS. Works and syncs on multiple platforms and supports independent development.
