As someone who joined news blur after the reader shutdown, I hate to say it, but this seemed inevitable. The design was incredibly confusing (not to mention hideous) and there were so many options nested in so many menus that any time I needed to change something I could never find the option. I switched to feedbin since it had some semblance of design, was easy to understand and synced with many more apps.
Also, I was credited three free years for being an early adopter and I suspect many others were as well, so I really doubt a big revenue bump anytime soon.

- mrec 13y agoYeah, I'm really enjoying Kouio. Even the very Mac-style UI has stopped bothering me. Still a few missing features around the feeds list sidebar, but nothing critical. I really wish they'd start charging for it.
- werid 13y agoWhat is this that seems inevitable? You do realize that the graph will spike up again once all those who signed up around the shutdown period (from now until it actually shutdown) renews for another year. And design, yea, at first glance. Much like some advanced software looks ridiculous at first glance. I tested a lot of different readers before I eventually ended up at newsblur, am very happy with it.
