Superfish? I'm not even using superfish. Intercom is so users can contact me and pusher is so I can push you new entries without requiring a reload.

yikes. It was a browser extension that uses superfish to inject ads. the extension allows you to disable this feature, but it still pulls in superfish. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/orbvious-interest/... I removed the extension and the payload is more like 1MB. Still seems hefty but not as much of a concern to me. I also noticed that content wasn't gzipped. should be a simple matter to add that to nginx.

Good catch, will do!

Would be cool if I could add a bunch of feeds at once, so I can migrate more easily from a non-google reader.

I did make the feed adding as streamlined as I could. However, I realize that it does pause for 5 seconds after adding the feed.

-> enter url -> should be all that's needed to add a feed.

Is there a way to add folders so that I can keep my feeds organized?

I signed in/up using Google, and it's busy importing my feeds right now, and they appear to be going into folders.

I don't see a way to arrange the folders though, which would be a big plus. If I can force an order through some naming convention that's OK too.

Very cool. I sign in/up using my Google account, and the import is chugging along.

One of the things a liked about Reader was that I could get a very simple, compact, list of feed headlines, making it easy to scan through a large number of items to pick out the few that might be of interest. A good RSS read helps me get through a lot of data without having to step through every item or go through pages with only a handful of items showing on each.

I did not see a way to get such a layout in Yoleo. Are simple, compact title list views possible, or planned?

Yeah, but we're all geeks here. It can't be that hard to splice together some custom CSS to make hacker news look like whatever you want. Let me just click view source and OH GOD PG FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY WHY ARE YOU USING NESTED TABLES IT'S 2013!!?!?!!111questionmark! Sorry, blacked out for a minute there.

You'd think a site called Hacker News would be more hackable...

I created a new account and didn't use the option to sign in with my Google account. The importer didn't ask me to sign in with my Google account, but is happily waiting for feeds to import from Google Reader. Surely it isn't able to do that without me authorizing it first? Also, are there any plans for mobile apps? If yes, please tell me that you're going to charge for them.

Once your spot is up in the queue, you'll be prompted to import.

Just going to second or third the mobile interest. Half or more of the time I look at my feeds, it's on a phone or tablet.

It's doing a fine job replacing Google Reader for me (I was otherwise going to use Feedly, who require me to learn a different UI).

Are you already using your own backend? It seems so, since it's showing me different articles and not sync read status from Google Reader (which seems to show new content sooner).

What's the meaning of the orange circle empty/filled?
