Inoreader
One place to keep up with all your information sources. Rely on powerful free search, full archive of your subscriptions. Monitor specific keywords, save pages from the web and subscribe to social media feeds.

Flipboard and Inoreader are both news and article aggregators with personalization capabilities. They are available as mobile apps (iOS and Android) and web services. Both allow to collect feeds from different sources, follow a topic without having to manually monitor a group of sites and are designed for both regular readers and professionals (e.g., researchers, marketers). Both services provide a freemium model.

But Flipboard (released in 2010) is an American service, primarily used as a mobile news app with a convenient page-swipe interface. It focuses on feed personalization using artificial intelligence that analyzes user interactions with content. Flipboard is actively moving towards decentralized networks (Fediverse) and the ActivityPub protocol, striving to become a kind of "browser" for them

Inoreader (2013) is a Bulgarian service that is primarily an RSS reader and the web interface is its main one. Synchronization with mobile clients is a secondary feature. Inoreader is aimed at power users: it offers automation rules, search by all indexed feeds, filtering, tags, folders, etc (however, all this is only available in the paid version). The service can save articles for reading later and allows you to create web feeds for tracking changes on websites. It provides an API for third-party developers and integrates with Bluesky (a decentralized analogue of Twitter)
