All these years later, I still use the Google Reader frontend (with newsblur as the backend).
It turns out that Reader's UI assets were stand alone enough that you could just implement the backend API and it all would work.
I saw this originally in a project for viewing your Reader Takeout data[1], and just built on that idea to make my own personal Google Reader experience.

- psanford 6y agoActually, that project still has the nostalgia Reader interface online: http://readerisdead.com/reader/view/#overview-page http://readerisdead.com/reader/view/#overview-page
- hopesthoughts 6y agoWait, can I actually put feeds inside of it? I mean does it actually work? The question being does it support today's feed formats, like Youtube feeds?
- tech234a 6y agoThere was also a browser extension [1] that locally reimplemented parts of the Google Reader interface. It has since been removed from the Chrome Web Store.
