Been using NewsBlur and I been liking it so far.
- pseut 13y ago
  Totally agree; it's been great with ~ 100 feeds.

  Same here. There's something 'off' about it, compared to google reader, that I can't put my finger on, but it's good enough for my needs.

    I would love to know. Any hint as to what's strange?
    - jpatokal 13y ago
      Too much... stuff. Lots of small buttons IN ALL CAPS. Irritating UI "helpfulness" like (just one example) overriding right-click on article titles, so you have to right-click, aim pointer, left-click to open the original in a new tab. The showstopper for me is the lack of infinite scrolling, although only today (after using NewsBlur for several months!) did I realize it's apparently intentionally crippled so I'd go upgrade to the premium version.
      - hilko 13y ago
        Think that's it. I just looked at Yoleo Reader (https://yoleoreader.com/ https://yoleoreader.com/) and realized that the clean look of that is exactly what I want/need, and what I miss with NewsBlur. I got a premium NewsBlur account primarily because it was the only non-google reader with good keyboard support. And I kind of like the attempt to add social and commenting features. But I might move away if I can get a cleaner UI with full google reader-style keyboard support. This problem could be solved with a 'minimal' skin, perhaps?
        pramodliv1 13y ago
        Yeah. The combination of NewsBlur's speed and yoleo's minimalism would be perfect for me.
        hilko 13y ago
        And keyboard shortcuts!

Been using MultiPLX.com for two months now and pretty happy with it than Feedly. The best part is that they allow export of user's data: OPML, JSON activity streams. They also support feed clips and blog rolls that I am upgrading to be used on my site and blog.

I selfhost ttrss and it's functional enough. Not as pretty as Google Reader (and probably most of the above), but it works.

  You should add Yoleo[1] to your list. It looks quite promising. [1]: https://yoleoreader.com/ https://yoleoreader.com/

        If you don't mind ones that have to be self hosted, tiny tiny rss[1] is one I've found I like. The self hosting for me is an advantage, and it has an android app to make it really easy to read them on the phone/tablet.

I'm the developer of Lector [1]. We're squashing some bugs to our first public release this week, but I can get people accounts if they want to try it first and give us feedback. It's going to be paid though. We have a focus similar to Digg's reader: our product is simple, fast and aimed at power users. I hope people like it. [1] http://bealector.com http://bealector.com

http://commafeed.com http://commafeed.com is the Reader replacement I've chosen. I also like http://inoreader.com http://inoreader.com.
- hamburglar 13y ago
  inoreader is nice but their mobile UI is much too slow. Try reading hacker news, where you're mostly going next, next, next...they do a full HTTPS page load on each Next click. Painful. If they could fix this by going to more of a single-page-app on mobile, I might stick with them.
  - bumbledraven 13y ago
    Ah, I haven't tried inoreader's mobile UI. I keep hoping someone will make a Reader-compatible backend that I can use with an one of my existing mobile RSS clients, like Mr. Reader.

Yoleo Reader and feedrebel is quite good. I also like stringer, but you have to host that on your own.

personally the old reader has been the most seamless transition for me. It's pretty much the same as google reader UI but a bit less clean but the important thing is the keyboard shortcuts are all the same.
