You can import OPML! When you login, just click on the green + button in the bottom-left. (There's a callout that says, "First things first..." right above it). There you can easily import OPML.

This will be a preference within the next couple weeks. Lots of other priorities, but this one is definitely high up there.

That dashboard idea is priority #1 (next to finishing up the iphone app). But I want it to be a really swell dashboard. Graphs, relevant data, not just the server puking aggregation on you. I'm hesitant to go overboard on branding and pushi

Well, the site is very front-end JavaScript heavy, so most of my time is spent on JavaScript. For the most part, Django has been great. I grew out of many relational SQL-based models and moved most of the key-value type data to mongo. (Stor

:-( I've seen that before and haven't been able to figure out why. I'm definitely passing the scope parameter. (scope=reader, or something like that). After the hailstorm of traffic dies down, I'll look into this error. Thanks for the repor

Heh, soon. Those are lesser used features that just haven't seen the light of day due to higher priority features. They will happen soon, though.

Nice thing is that you have the option to only read the Feed instead of the Original Site. By clicking on 'Feed', you get the same treatment as Google Reader. And NewsBlur persists your preference.

Great idea. Noted for later when the server isn't being hammered. Oh my god is it being hammered.

I mean, why not make it open-source? It's half-resume, and half-premium accounts for a nice service.

Hey folks, I'm a HNer. I created NewsBlur with Hacker News in mind the entire time. In fact, I thought up the idea during a summer NYC Hackers and Founders last year. For the past 16 months, I kept trying to pick a date when NewsBlur would

I'm planning to submit it to Hacker News at the end of the week when I have premium accounts turned on and many more of the bugs worked out. Thanks for the advice!

It's nice to hear that CoffeeScript is nearing a 1.0 release very soon now. Not that the API changes all too often, but a 1.0 release signals that the language is ready for prime-time to both developers and to book publishers.

Key point of Backbone.js: This is for designing web apps, not just a web page. When you have multiples of the anything on a page, it's time to move to separating out your views from your models, and Backbone.js is perfect for this sort of t

I provided the command that I used to test the Micro instance on DocumentCloud's server. The only requirement would be to install Docsplit sudo gem install docsplit Then just `time` the runtime and compare.

Micro instances are great if you want to spend the least amount possible and don't mind sacrificing raw speed. You are paying a penalty of having a quarter of the processing power of a Medium instance. Oddly, though, the CPU in a Micro is a

Sorry about those bugs. They've been fixed now! The slowness was caused by scaling issues which have now been resolved. Everything is super-fast again.

A bunch of folks in this thread have asked about an alternative that is better than Google Reader. I created NewsBlur, http://www.newsblur.com , which is an intelligent feed reader. It shows you the original site (which is why I never like

Yeah, no doubt it's a lot easier to stay on the Google Reader stack. With NewsBlur, it's completely separate from Google Reader (other than an initial Google Reader OAuth import of your feeds). Which means I have to write my own iPhone app

My solution to this problem is a bit more centered on the reader. NewsBlur, as some of you may know, is a feed reader that shows you the original site and marks off what you have read as you read it. Since this Google Reader reader would tr
