Google reader

  I think what most people who still miss Google Reader in 2018 really missed was the little-known community aspect of it.

I've been using https://www.inoreader.com https://www.inoreader.com and am pretty happy with it as an alternative. It has a lot of the same keyboard shortcuts, which is really all I want.

  I miss google reader because it was simply lists and lists of news. Not these new readers that love to extract an image from the article and use it to cover quarter of the screen(exaggerating here). Then 4 more articles on the next page. Then so on. Google reader was perfect for skimming through 100 pieces of news in a short amount of time and just click the articles you want to read in a new tab and done. Any new reader I’ve tried fails to understand this. They go for complexity and glamour. They need a mode for just simple long list of headlines and not waste any screen space. Edit: context

    I can't think of a modern reader which doesn't have a view like this. Just a few examples: The Old Reader, Inoreader, Feedly all do.

      Inoreader looks like flipboard or Feedly. I didn’t know about The Old Reader and I will give it a try.

        > Inoreader looks like flipboard How is this (random screenshot found via image search) not basically the same as Google Reader? http://kingofgng.com/media/20150116_inoreader.png http://kingofgng.com/media/20150116_inoreader.png And that's not even the densest display option.

        I looked at their App Store page and saw this: https://imgur.com/a/GJQ4hEu https://imgur.com/a/GJQ4hEu

        Yeah, maybe not use one or two screenshots to decide if a product has or hasn't a feature that's not shown in the screenshots.

    That's why I use innoreader; if it has this, it's well hidden. I've never seen anything but list view. I imported my feeds and never really changed anything and it basically looks like Google Reader.

  I use the same, after Google Reader shutdown. It's a tad slow compared to GR, but works fine for me.
