The web app profile pages include speed & trustworthiness info as well as mentions of the app on Hacker News. I will also add popularity rankings and TLDR versions of the ToS over the next few days.
Am I the only one who just wants a list of updated articles and possibly an unread count? I don't want social in my RSS. I don't want to "discover" feeds. I don't want to be told what to read. I don't want to follow people. For me, the whole point of RSS is that I find a site I like, I add it to my list, and I'm told when there's a new article. I've tried several alternatives in the last 24 hours, and most of them ig…
Reason being is that RSS is 'dead'. I will never be able to attract funding for what I'm building, and to be able to maintain, extend, update and generally give it the love it'll need, it will need to support me, at least part time.
If you're interested in learning more about what I'm up to, I have a Launchrock page up at http://signup.viafeeds.com. The iOS screenshot was taken from my phone. The software is real, and very intentionally minimal.
I was expecting to have at least another few months of dev time before Google Reader shut down. The announcement yesterday caught me by surprise, and I tossed up the signup page as a response. Wish I'd had more time...
[1] A nominal amount to be sure, along the lines of that proverbial Starbucks beverage per month, but it definitely won't be free.

FeedHQ seems very close to what I want, unfortunately it's throwing a 500 error when importing my subscriptions. I'll give it a more closer look later, thanks for that. Edit: and it's open source. This definitely seems like a good base to start from if it doesn't fit my needs.
Exactly. I just don't see why dev(s) are not jumping at this opportunity. Though I saw one dev wishing luck to NewsBlur on twitter :-)
There's got to be some people around here doing their own that would roughly align with what I'm after. And I'm happy to pay for such a thing.
Should be a very interesting couple of months for sure.

No, that's exactly what I want. Luckily, I'm building exactly that, but it's gonna cost you money[1]. Reason being is that RSS is 'dead'.

All my feeds are carefully chosen based on site reputation, article quality, journalism quality and my of course my interests. When I want a little bit of everything, I just browse HN (often from Reader).

So I think the appeal of a minimal social component in an RSS reader is not adding to the already-unmanageable deluge of information, but to add richness and depth to the existing pool.
Surprised Feedly is so highly ranked. I tried it out after the last set of Google Reader changes and deleted it after about a week. The mobile app is really awful for skimming lots of content and is too focused on presenting a newspaper like layout. It's all pictures...

Is it mainly app or web based? I'm not interested in apps generally.
