demo/demo for login works. And it looks good: Just a rss-reader with a list of feeds to the left and articles on the right, good performance in the demo. jk-navigation. custom css. I'm not exited by it being a java-application (hosting that on my own could be a hassle) and the google reader import doesn't work (invalid grant, error code 400, want the eror message?). Importing the .xml seems to have no effect at all (edit: now it does. just takes some time?). What is the feed-polling strategy? Does it support pubsubhubbub? Will this instance stay active? Good work though! I think i might use this.

What's wrong with it being a java app? As it says on the github, create an account on openshift and its just a few easy commands to get it running. OpenJDK is nice and easy to install on most open hosting environments too.

  Maybe. That is just based on my experience with java stuff, it is always complicated. I agree though that the instructions seem easy enough.

  A lot of us harbour a strong hate of Java due to a decade or more of exposure to abstract factory factories, and obnoxiously slow jvm startup times, and a series of Java applications that are supposed to perform as "native" yet somehow all feel clunky, slow and bloated (Eclipse being the posterchild for all that is wrong with Java...). I actually have a half-baked code generator to use Ruby to generate Java for some Android hobby-projects because I found that less painful and obnoxious than writing the Java directly.

    Are you referring to backend or frontend applications? Java on the backend seems to be very stable and popular. Though I don't have any experience with it personally, my understanding is that it's probably the most popular backend language for web apps in terms of deployment size and complexity.
