About BazQux Reader
BazQux Reader is a small, independent hosted reader that charges everyone and says so plainly: it is not free or freemium, so it only fetches feeds for paying and trial users, which it argues keeps updates fast and support real. It covers the usual RSS features with a quick, keyboard-friendly interface, and adds a few uncommon ones: following Facebook, Telegram and VK pages like blogs, reading article comments inside the reader, and converting summary feeds into full text. Filters, smart streams, search, stars and tags help manage busy feeds, and several view modes can be mixed per feed. It works on desktop and mobile web, and native apps such as Reeder and NetNewsWire can sync with it for offline reading. Pricing is a single low yearly fee after a 30-day free trial. The interface looks utilitarian, and the developer is a very small operation, but it suits readers who want a lean, fast service without ads.
Best for: Readers who want a fast, ad-free reader that also follows social pages and comments.
