It's spelt paid subscription, not "payed".

  Errr! Hehe. Thanks a lot. Changed it almost everywhere. Except for the last perk, can't change that one because it's claimed already.

  It's spelled, not spelt

    It was terse, but the parent's comment was helpful. Wouldn't you want to correct misspellings on your site? Especially in the part where you ask for money?

      'Except for the last perk, can't change that one because it's claimed already.' Indiegogo won't allow me. Because the perk is claimed already.

      It was terse, yes. I apologise for that. It was the end of the day and I was feeling tired and irritable. However, I do stand by my original post's intent. I think that copy eliciting funds from potencial backers should be as 'proper' as it can be. To me this communicates a level of professionalism.

    Spelt is a valid past tense and past participle of spell. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/spelt?&path=/ http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/spelt?&path=/

It's "RSS.GD" not "RSS.gb".

> It simply stays as long as there are paying users. Except when it doesn't. Because you can't guarantee that. By the title I thought it would be some OSS app that could be taken over by someone else. And even if it stayed online as long as there are users.. it's quite expensive for what it is, especially when you look at competition. In the end, this looks like a quick attempt to grab a piece of cake that Google threw out.

>.< Spent night building the design and skeleton of an RSS service. Same concept, pay ~$5 so it's a sustainable business. Didn't release on IndieGoGo yet cause no prototype. DumDumDummmm.

If I had the choice between giving people my money who were already thinking about this for a while, and a campaign that started the day Reader shut down, I'd give it to the people who had the foresight to anticipate this was going to happen some day.

Do you have anything working to show so far? What would this do that other RSS services don't do? Why should we risk backing this instead of using another existing service?
