I'm now reading enough webcomics (again; what is this, 2005?), on enough different sites that I need an RSS reader to track where I am in each of them.
I need something where I can see the latest pages but also stop halfway through a new comic and have it remember what's still unread.
Must work on android and desktop.
Recommendations?

@tess Sounds like a job for Inoreader

@beandreams does inoreader let you track unread and read items in individual feeds, and keep them around for a reasonably long time?

@tess It does! I don't use it for web comics but I have similar needs for the news feeds that I follow. I have never seen the read/unread get reset even for old feeds.

@tess I built https://www.comic-rocket.com years ago precisely because I had this problem. I don't know if I actually recommend it—I know every reason why it's not the ideal answer I wanted it to be—but it's apparently still working well enough for people, and I do have an Android app that might still work, though I think Google broke it in some recent Android release.
Comic Rocket does not use RSS, because hardly anybody provides full-history feeds, so an RSS reader can't reliably help you read anything but usually the newest ten pages; everybody uses hacks to try to pretend otherwise. I built a remarkably effective webcrawler instead. I want to convince everybody to adopt the 2007 specification for efficiently providing full-history RSS feeds (RFC5005) so somebody else can build a better webcomic reader than I did, but I've gotten very little traction.
So I don't have a strong recommendation but I hope you find something you're happy with!

@catsalad this seems cool and if I get into manga I will definitely check it out.
I just prefer to read comics on a PC-sized screen.

@tess Comics and manga are much better on a PC. Long strip comics, like the many Korean manhwa I read, are perfect on tablets and phones (or rotated monitors).
