Hats off for the notification that popped up as I was trying to import telling me that HN traffic bogged you down. That was very classily and well done.
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?
Yep, I'm using a backend I've written for the application. An API will be released soon, as well. Orange circle empty == read, filled in == unread.
also, i can't figure out how to add a new or existing feed to a folder. the tags i had from google reader are still there.

For me, it wasn't just that it popped up a notification, it's that hitting the arrow on the popup gives you a reply-to window with the text of the notification already filled in. Really made me feel welcome.

It's a good way to say, "Hey, not only did I develop this cool thing, I designed this cool thing." Also, sometimes design is a focal point. All things being equal, I will choose the prettier option. I might even be persuaded to pay money for a prettier option if it functions just as well as the ugly open source option.

Firing up the the Angular vs Ember debate again here. What's your take?
If we're picking this battle up, can everyone also argue a bit about the backend? I've been with Django for years, but I'm tempted to get back into Rails with how well it seems some of the JS frameworks are supported.
- Please add folder support.
- I'm sure the text look beautiful on Macs, but it's not easy to read my feeds with that grey-ish text on Windows. Can't you make the text a bit bolder or darker?
- It's obvious you spend a lot of time working on this so I'd hate to see it closing because you couldn't afford to pay for your servers. I don't think asking for a donation is a good idea. Make it something like a $1-2/monthly subscription with a full month free trial. That way you may lose some customers, but your servers wouldn't be as busy as it appears to be now and you'd have a -sorta- fixed income and wouldn't worry about the future.
- An instapaper support would be great.
- I agree with other people here. That red looks beautiful but it's distracting when you're reading. Maybe tone it down a bit, or let us choose the color/background etc? Tha'd be a killer feature.
Best of luck!
Why does everything have to be described as "beautiful"? Yes, it looks nice. It's not fucking Beethoven, it's a website that appears to do a damn fine job of managing RSS feeds. Yet every damn day we see another HN front-page article about such-and-such a "beautiful" web-app. Edit: also, in this instance, a good chunk of the beautiful design seems to have been lifted from Google's style, from the icon style to the wa…
Beautiful is not just in the design, I've put a lot of effort into the mechanics of how things work, as well.
Anyone else reading this in their mind as YOLO reader?
