Seems good, I like it. I might try it later on my server (hopefully it's not too heavy on the system, since I'm going to try it in a small vps).
But it's still another reader that I'll probably not use. Why? Because since there isn't an open standard for RSS reader I can't use it with the client I want.
I'm not saying it's your fault, as it sure isn't. But it's sad that we didn't learn this from the death of Google Reader. There were some talk about creating an open standard right after it's death, but nothing major came out of it.
This is also why I'm still using Google Reader, because every RSS reader out of there doesn't have either a mobile client or a website that I like. If there were an open standard, I could use the mobile client I want, the desktop client I want, and rely on the backend for synchronization and reading on computer without a desktop client.
- Jendib 13y agoThis is true there isn't a standard for RSS feeds synchronizer, but Sismics Reader provide an open JSON API, so you can write whatever client you want, on any platform you prefer
- Spittie 13y agoThis is great, but every developer has to include your API to get it's app working with your service. And he has to do it for every service that he want to support (Feedly, FeedBin, Feever, NewsBlur...). My rant was not about Sismics not providing an API, but the lack of a standard open API for RSS readers. Beside that, Sismics seems pretty great.
- martingordon 13y agoI'm down to wire for this reason as well. I use Reeder everywhere and no other client has come close to matching it.
