Readit News> Personal Data collected: Cookies, unique device identifiers, Usage Data and IDs (package names) from installed apps.
It sends a unique device identifier, your IP address and your app usage to Firebase. I understand why the developer would want crash reports but he gathers a lot of data on users.
- configured through Borgmatic
- encrypted
- long retention (daily, weekly, monthly)
- stored on a relatively fast and large external backup disk (right now a Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD)
The backup plan is automatically triggered when I connect my notebook to the docking station. Never failed me and already saved me from the embarressment of accidently modifying or deleting important files that are not part of a git repo.
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!
