I use Feedly to subscribe to sites that I follow. I was just reading through some of the feeds, and I realised that I don’t seem to have a way to give feedback on posts, from Feedly.

For example, if I read something that I like, I’d like to, well, “Like” the post, or leave a comment from my feed reader.

The only feed reader that has this capability is the WordPress.com Reader, and that’s pretty much focused on WordPress sites.

Do other feed readers do this too? 🤔

    I think the limitation is something that has to do with the CMS/blog service not offering API for engagement from third-party apps, and is not caused by Feedly and the likes.

      Good point! That said, I’d like to see integrations in feed readers into those platforms. It must be possible to create similar integrations into sites using APIs from the relevant platforms.

      I’m sure several CMSes offer APIs that enable these sorts of interactions.

      This reader model is pretty much along these lines. The PressForward implementation is really interesting too.
