How I organize my RSS feeds
I use NetNewsWire and am subscribed to a couple of dozen RSS feeds. I’m organizing them in the following folders:
-
Me — These contain feeds for my own web site. This helps me debug issues with my own site, if they were to arise.
-
Friends — Feeds of friends that I want to keep reading.
-
Evaluating — Newly added feeds end up in here. After a while, they get migrated to one of the starred folders (see below) or deleted. (See also: Give up and put everything in purgatory.)
-
⭐️⭐️⭐️ — These feeds are high-quality, and any new article I will very likely read.
-
⭐️⭐️ — Good feeds, though not as high-quality or as relevant to me as the triple-star ones.
-
⭐️ — Feeds that I usually skim through to see whether there’s anything interesting. I’ll skip most of the articles in here, but I want to keep the feeds nonetheless because there is the occasional gem.
-
Software — These contain feeds for software release notes and the like.
-
NetNewsWire originals — These are the feeds that come with NetNewsWire by default.
