Google Reader's shutdown was a true act of vandalism. Sure there are a handful alternatives, but Reader despite its somewhat basic UI worked really well. And despite Google's attempts to kill RSS, it hasn't gone away.
- coldpie 7y agoFeedly's quite good, and they have a business model that isn't driven by abuse of their users.
- teh_klev 7y agoI have tried it in the past, but it just ain't the same, I wasn't filled with joy and its UI annoyed me. Maybe I'll try again.
- TMWNN 7y agoI am pretty sure that I tried Feedly in the post-"Oh no, Google Reader is going away!" panic everyone else using the service was in at the time, and like you I could not replicate the feel. The Old Reader was the closest alternative I found among the several I tried, but soon afterwards Inoreader appeared with a very, very, very close-to-Google Reader feel, and I've been extremely happy on it ever since. (If only Inoreader would correctly open the comment link and not the original article in the HN RSS feed.)
- teh_klev 7y agoThanks for the link, but sadly... iOS App - Android App - Windows Phone App Not interested unless there's a plain old HTML over the web thing which Reader did well.
