Ask HN: what alternative to Google Reader have you chosen?

• vacipr 13y ago
  You should try newsbeuter.

  Tiny Tiny RSS which is hosted on Heroku - http://projectdelphai.github.io/blog/2013/03/15/replacing-google-reader-with-tt-rss-on-heroku/ http://projectdelphai.github.io/blog/2013/03/15/replacing-go... Aside from this, however, I would have gone with Old Reader. Feedly is a good choice (especially with their new cloud platform), but last time I checked, they didn't let you export your feeds. If you don't mind that, Feedly is a great choice.

  I tried Feedly but I didn't like how slick & clever it is. It seems to decide (based on popularity) which new posts to show me, when all I really want is a categorized listing of everything that's new. I like a good old-fashioned list where some things are 'unread' and some things are 'read', but in Feedly this seems to be fuzzy concept. After trying a few other services and apps, I switched to NetNewsWire, which is a client-side Mac app that does what I want. Pretty happy so far.

    You can easily change Feedly settings to provide you with just that.

  Feedbin.me – so far so good. A little slow to sync but only $2/month to test your opml feeds with them.
• tannerc 13y ago
  Feedly is the best I've tried so far. They allow so much customization that it can be daunting at first, but once you've got everything setup it can be just as good as – if not better than – Google Reader.

  bazqux.com - very clear and minimal.

  The Old Reader is like the Google Reader of 5 years ago. I didn't care much for Feedly's flashy interface or browser plugin interface.

  I love Stringer — https://github.com/swanson/stringer https://github.com/swanson/stringer Minimal, self-hosted, great codebase, implements a clone of Fever's API so it can be used with any mobile client that supports Fever.

  I'm quite happy with https://feedbin.me/ https://feedbin.me/

  http://www.feedsapi.org http://www.feedsapi.org is what I use and I am pretty happy with it, I mostly use the full text RSS to Email feature and combine it also with Feedly and Snackr for pure full text rss news reading.

  FeedDemon is my replacement. It's a Windows program, not web based and there is no phone app, but I'm perfectly happy with it so far. It's free now but to be honest I would have paid it.

  I'm using newsblur. I'm sad Feedler on iOS doesn't work with it. I don't really want to go through the trouble of maintaining two separate RSS readers, though.

  It depends, i suppose you are asking for an Web alternative. I haven't tried Digg or AOL Reader since they aren't available. My usage is basically a headline view of all the feeds, I have them in different catalogs. I will scroll through them to see anything worth to read, and open it up as a new tab as i go through them all. Newsblur is very non Google Reader like. I suppose it fits some of the pattern of flows of a particular niche. But not me. Yoleo is great except it doesn't work very well with non Unicode Feeds and it is quite slow. Unread count is overlapping. I think it is a solid app given some more time to develop. But I use Reader everyday or every 4 - 6 hours i cant afford to wait. Feedly web works well so far. It is the closest thing to Google Reader in Headline views. The thing i dont like are performance and slow scrolling in some cases. But it generally fits me well. The thing is, there is nothing wrong to try everything out. It is only a click of a button for your Google Login.
