It actually looks like the play store has the two apps better distinguished now. “Feeder.co” is proprietary and relies on a cloud service - it’s the same as Feedly/Inoreader and requires an account.
Feeder (the free and open source one) is not cloud connected. You can export your feeds to standard formats but it does have device sync, but everything’s stored on your device rather than in the cloud.
I use Feeder (the free and open source one from f-droid, not the proprietary one from the play store).
I subscribe to Axios for world news, a few “tech blogs” like Ars Technica and The Verge, and a few web comics.
TIL there are two apps with the same name, good thing I was using the open source one… But I got it from the PlayStore.
I keep seeing people recommending Feeder. What is the difference between the 2 versions for those less technologically inclined?
