@neil @michal I've been struggling with the feeling of being overwhelmed by RSS, and discovering that the problem has been the unread count.
I categorize very meticulously so news/high volume feeds end up in their own category, but they still contribute to that single unread count and make the "backlog" look significantly more unapproachable than it really was.
I'm actually gonna go write a blog post right now about how I overcame this :D
