After switching to Yoleo Reader [1], I don't find myself missing anything from the old Google Reader. Highly recommended. (I have no affiliation with this) [1]

- nacs 13y agoSame. Coming from Google Reader, Yoleo is the one that I've found to come closest. It's clean and fast and I've had some great support when I've needed it. It doesn't seem to have the endless scrolling that GReader had however but does have the Reader keyboard shortcuts to move through the feed articles.
- actionscripted 13y agoAnd if you connect with your Google account it'll take care of everything automatically. Feels like Google Reader with a red theme.
- jamiebikies 13y agoGlad you're liking it! I am working on a "headline mode" that's going to provide more densely packed info for those who like it that way. Also I'm going to be releasing a new subscription list with a bit more functionality to it in the next week or so.
- jpatokal 13y agoAm I missing something? Endless scrolling is the reason GReader wiped the floor with the competition, without it Yoleo's not the same at all, plus it has a three-column layout. Also, with Ubuntu/Firefox, the navigation keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work... except in the right column, which I don't need in the first place?
- jamiebikies 13y agoI'd say you are missing something :) I'm in the process of implementing a "headline mode", as mentioned here and elsewhere that will bring that sort of two column functionality for those who like it. Also regarding the shortcuts, you're using Firefox? I noted in the blog and through my notification system that users using firefox will have issues with shortcuts until I squash whatever bug is causing the problem.
- vicaya 13y agoThe end-less scroll of feeds in GR is not just a UI feature. It's an incredible/killer data feature that let you go back to the entire history of a feed (since GR start to capture the feed for anybody), even if you just subscribed to a new feed. It's content sharing at its finest. GR is not just feed aggregator but the most complete feed archive ever existed -- am I the only one who realize this? I don't think there'll be an adequate GR replacement, ever! unless G donates the feed archive to the public, which I think would be one of the best things G can do now.
- ivank 13y agoYou are not the only one to realize this. http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Google_Reader http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Google_Reader has backed up 30 million feeds so far. (And needs everybody's OPML files to back up more.)
- juliogreff 13y agoShameless plug here, but Lector[1] has a two-column layout (and you can also hide the sidebar if you like) and endless scrolling. It's also surprisingly similar to Yoleo's layout in some points. If you like them, maybe you should check us out too ;) [1] http://bealector.com http://bealector.com
