The limitation with all these systems is the lack of filters (where I can group all messages that match a filter into a folder). It's common to support grouping feeds into folders, but I want to have a folder of covid-related articles, and one of australian climate policy etc. Feeds are often a jumble of messages on different topics (which is quite reasonable).

Feedwrangler had a very primitive version of this but anyway it's end-of-lifed.*

NetNewsWire used to have excellent filtering but it's been rewritten without them. I use ReadKit on the mac because it does have pretty good filtering. Its own rewrite doesn't have that feature yet, and sharing the filters between platforms will be a future feature. But at the moment, as far as I can tell, it's my only option.

* The developer gave everyone a year's notice and arranged a transfer mechanism to another feed service. Pretty responsible!
