A few additions to the above comment.
• I forgot to mention FeedBin. I like it a lot: it's fast in both UI and fetching feeds, mobile web, and the developer is responsive. I don't like the 3-column interface, however, since I don't really read by category or folders. With the mobile web version the 3-column UI makes it slow to skim through all the feeds. If you like There was also some problems with scrolling using the arrows keys (I think it would move to a new post instead). Not open-source/self-hostable is another negative. (It does use Github, but only for issue tracking.)
• InoReader At first I thought this was a Feedly-esque browser extension because all the links I found were to the Chrome store. I finally tried it, and it is a fast Google Reader clone, kind of like CommaFeed. It's visually a little busy, but the UI is fast with less sedimentation[1] than most. All the social features can be turned off with a single option. Mobile web looks OK. Main downsides: No obvious business model and not open-source/self-hostable.

I've been mainly using FeedHQ, and I was watching CommaFeed for a mobile version and thinking about Inoreader and how important open-source is in my decision ... but since installing Stringer today I may not need to look further. For my first thoughts on Stringer see this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5734970 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5734970
