I use Reader's "star" functionality to keep track of stuff that I want to refer back to later. And, AFAICT, you can't easily export your star history. You can export your subscriptions, but not the stars.
The only approach that I've seen to exporting stars is to use the fact that Reader will create a feed of just your starred items. Then you can view that feed in some other reader and manually mark each one there (ugh).
Edit: Oh, and the read/not read history is, AFAICT, also not exportable. And I do use this as well.
- skymt 14y agoStars are, in fact, exportable. The "Google Takeout" zip archive for Reader includes a file called starred.json, containing a list of your starred items in a JSON format that, as far as I know, nothing else reads. If whatever reader you switch to can import marked items, you can probably work up a script to convert Google's format to whatever the new reader uses.
- surrealize 14y agoThanks! The last time I checked was when they turned my google-account-with-an-apps-domain-email-address into an actual google apps account, and I had to move my Reader data.
- 1ManBandAccts 14y agoFeedly will sync over all your starred items and put them into Saved.
- zanny 14y agoOh god. I have around 800 starred items dating back to 2008 in greader. Fuck me.
