I like the people at Feedly and the service. This could be a good alternative to Google Reader and they’ve promised to work with developers, so hopefully apps like Reeder will support the service as well.
Transitioning from Google Reader to Feedly
I like the people at Feedly and the service. This could be a good alternative to Google Reader and they’ve promised to work with developers, so hopefully apps like Reeder will support the service as well.
Amen. I use Reeder more than any other app. I hope I can continue to use it.
I just finished setting up Feedly. I could definitely get accustomed to it after Google Reader, and I wish them luck on the transition to their own “Normandy” back-end. My only minor gripes: Missing a global “A” keyboard shortcut to mark all read, adding subscriptions is very odd (I pasted a URL and was told nothing was there), and feeds cannot be at the top level—they must be inside a folder/category. All in all, though: Similar enough, nicer looking, more options, works.
I’ve been using Feedly for a while now and it seems like the most promising substitute for Reader, but it has an unfortunate tendency to crash on iOS. A lot.
Definitely nice, but not a great fan of Web interfaces, even if this is clearly one of the better ones. I hope the developer of NewsRack (or, at least, Reeder) will add Feedly support to iOS and OS X versions before Google flips the switch.
Bottom line I might then even be happy with Google’s decision, as I can then close my only account with them forever. They never had my real name or address anyhow, but I do not want them to have my IP addresses either.
