I’m excited thinking about 2040 when Google pulls a Microsoft and starts working to be cool. One of the fun nostalgic ways they show that they’re no longer assholes will be reviving and open sourcing Reader. Kind of like how Microsoft open sourced calc.exe. There’s no business value or harm but it’s a good symbol. Old Microsoft would have complained how they had to prioritize engineering resources and open sourcing calc.exe was bad (like Google needed to prioritize engineers away from Reader).
