One of the applications I used to use on a daily was Google Reader. Then one day, they just shut it down for no apparent reason, and that was that. They don't seem to be focused on customer satisfaction. Hard to understand.
- cout 3y agoI think you meant to say user satisfaction? Or did you pay for google reader?
- underlipton 3y agoGoogle Reader, like many other Google products, was developmentally mature (read: relatively cheap to maintain) and drove users to profit centers. An example that more closely fits your criteria is Google Play Music, which was superior to its replacement, Youtube Music, and which I paid monthly for. I cancelled my subscription when they sunset it.

- WirelessGigabit 3y agoTake a look at Miniflux. Works amazing.
- atlantic 3y agoThanks, I will.
