Besides, the solution is not clarified enough. I read the linked website but there isn't a lot of details. Is it a sort of cloud service that receives push notifications for the user? The only thing I see is that it requires registration, and that can't be a good signal.
By the way, most RSS clients don't update that often. Mine does it every six hours.
The solution is a cloud service, as mentioned on its site. It monitors really many sources for you and filters what is actually interesting to you and then notifies you.
It doesn't ask for any registration, the only authorization is needed just to prevent exploitation.
Consider you want to apply to a matching job announcement 1st, before others. Then updating every 6 hours may be not enough.
The main reason that made me stop using RSS/Atom in my private life was that most sites stopped providing full feeds and instead opted for only showing the headlines or headlines with a short snippet. Even those sites without any ads started doing that for some reason. If I have to use a browser to read the articles anyway I might as well simply check once a day my usual sites, because that will just work for the foreseeable future in contrast to any RSS/Atom alternative which is doomed to have the same fate.
The main reason that made me stop using RSS/Atom in my professional life was compliance and the only available RSS reader being Microsoft Outlook which is IMHO an awful RSS reader. Also I had ever so often a clash with our internal IT-Department because they assumed my frequent pulling of some job-related feeds were due to a computer virus and it just became a hassle to convince them again (and again) that it was not. So instead I made a daily reminder with a time slot of 15min to look manually at the few job related sites and use mostly the link-highlighting of the browser to identify if I already read something.
To sum it all up. As soon as RSS/Atom did not work anymore for me I opted to adapt in a way that would not force me to adapt again. Given that any 3rd party service is bound to be broken at some point I'd rather accept my fate than fighting the inevitable.
Whats more if you use a SaaS based service then it'll only refresh each site once for the dozens to thousands of customers who subscribe.
Refresh frequently = waste resources
Refresh rarely = miss important message / too late
That doesn't make sense. You have no control over what's in the feed, the feed owner does
Awakari offers a single place to control all your sources and subscriptions.
Additionally it offers a way to filter the content
Then it hits us with an ad for what seems to be an RSS client SaaS (a real one, not the strawman they critiqued). Wtf?
Firefox is a bad example, I agree. But anyway RSS declines.
RSS client service solves the polling issue gracefully. It polls once for many clients. Also, Awakari is not an RSS client, it's agnostic and proven to be able to consume other source types
