Still, I honestly don’t understand why this is the hill people want to die on, what they feel most betrayed about. Like I haven’t seen some people this upset since Firefly was canceled.
I didn't use Google Reader much, what did it do for you that made it memorable? Or perhaps, what are other Readers failing to deliver?
Hilarious, as all replacements were trying to build a social interaction.
I use Feedly + NetNewsWire. Great combo.
A very sad day when this was killed. It was my favorite social/intellectual experience at the time. Really never recovered from it.
It turns out that Reader's UI assets were stand alone enough that you could just implement the backend API and it all would work.
I saw this originally in a project for viewing your Reader Takeout data[1], and just built on that idea to make my own personal Google Reader experience.
That being said, I have a found NewsBlur a great replacement.
I really do miss google reader from time to time ... I think I've stopped consuming RSS since it went away

The Web hasn't recovered from it, either. In retrospect, they obviously did it to pave way for AMP. Now that AMP is gone, maybe there's a small chance they could bring it back.
