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.

LOL, if only you weren't the minority! If you would like to donate more, just let me know and I can manually adjust your account. Perhaps I should make the donation amount variable starting at $9/yr.

I mean, if Google thought running a free RSS reader was too expensive, imagine the headache it can cause you if/when this gets really popular. Seriously, I admire your willingness to give something great away for free, but I also think you need to think about recouping your expenses and making your service financially sustainable for the long haul.

Did Google say it was too expensive ?

Yep :)

Any chance of open-sourcing it? Following the same model as newsblur.com

I see that as something that could happen in the future, when I get enough revenue to run yoleoreader.com. That's my primary concern.

Hey there, good questions! I'm a developer in Toronto, Canada and I love to ride bikes and write code. I work at a place called Unspace ( http://unspace.ca/team ), I'm the third one down (Jamie Gilgen). Yoleo is a self funded project. I would like to keep it that way if I can. That's why donations are very welcome. I do however offer Yoleo up for free for those who are unable to pay. Yoleo is written in Ember, and is…

Please force SSL/TLS on the accounts page if not everywhere (should be everywhere)...You're currently sending Stripe payments over http

I checked and the strip communication is done ajax style through https. I don't see a problem.

Looks very nice, but there's no mention of what to me is the #1 requirement for a Reader replacement: the ability to export your data. Ideally, the ability to export your data in the same format that Reader does, given that all the apps pitching to replace Reader can import that.

This isn't specific to Yoleo; nobody seems to be implementing this, and it doesn't show up on the comparison summaries that pop up here on HN from time to time. There's no way all the current contenders are going to last; why isn't everyone jittery?
