Sadly I saw that today too :-( As it happens, I have been thinking about developing a simple RSS reader for mobiles (my favourite bits of Bloglines + my favourite bits of Google Reader written to support the 'old skool' Blackberry browser) for a few months, so Bloglines' death gives me a kick to get started. If nothing else, it'll be an interesting little side project.
- cema 16y agoSounds good. Which features ("bits"), btw?
- danparsonson 16y agoI like Google Reader's option to mark articles with a star to be revisited later, and the ease of adding new feeds in the full client; from Bloglines, I like the fact that it puts all new articles in one page - minimal UI interaction, and I don't need to keep a connection up. One area I'm hoping to improve on both is the speed - both Bloglines and Google Reader, on the Blackberry at least, are a bit cumbersome and need several clicks before you actually get to read anything. Another thing I'd like to do better is that (with Bloglines) a failed page load still marks all new articles as 'read' - this does happen occasionally when I'm on the move, and I end up missing the latest articles. I have one or two other ideas to experiment with :-)
