That's awesome! I should know because I also created my own RSS aggregator after the demise of Google Reader. Here's a screenshot https://imgur.com/YHJOiEX https://imgur.com/YHJOiEX It fills my needs perfectly because I created it specifically for myself and I control it fully in all aspects. It's been such a tremendous success for me and so fun to create that I am thinking about replacing other online services with custom-made versions, such as google calendar, google tasks, etc. Something to look forward to in 2016. Great job, and keep at it!

Your reader looks awesome. Did you open source it?

  Thank you! Alas, I did not. I am fully behind the open source/free software movement(s), but right now I am at a point in my life where I can't manage and support an open source project as my availability is super spotty. Also, you don't want to see the css... it makes gotos look good.

    You should not be afraid of open sourcing code you can't support or are not happy with :) Here's my most popular Github repository. I never use it and it's entirely supported by its users, I just keep an eye on it: https://github.com/jleclanche/django-push-notifications https://github.com/jleclanche/django-push-notifications And here is some of my worst production code. Fully undocumented and with my first Python code ever in it, never rewritten/cleaned up: https://github.com/jleclanche/pywow https://github.com/jleclanche/pywow There, I just showed you terrible code and unmaintained crap ;) Don't be ashamed!

After the demise Google reader, pretty much everybody I know started building their very own RSS Reader. We also made one for the Relevant app. It's beautiful card called RSS Reader that you can add it from the library. Then just paste your rss urls in the back of the card and it works. (Currently iOS only). http://relevant.ai/ http://relevant.ai/
