The problem is finding a good local, desktop based RSS reader other than thunderbird or a damn server app, especially if you're on Windows.

Btw, what is a non-local RSS reader? I have come across multiple that RSS readers that advertise being "self-hosted" and I'm confused about that since in my mind RSS readers are simply clients that periodically query different servers for an .rss file, so I'm confused about where there is anything to host besides the host of the .rss feed.

It’s just a web based client instead of a desktop one. And it can usually output its own RSS feed that contains your other feeds so you can hook any RSS desktop client on any device to it.
