Re: Digg Reader Update
#82After switching to Yoleo Reader [1], I don't find myself missing anything from the old Google Reader. Highly recommended. (I have no affiliation with this) [1] http://yoleoreader.com/
Same. Coming from Google Reader, Yoleo is the one that I've found to come closest. It's clean and fast and I've had some great support when I've needed it. It doesn't seem to have the endless scrolling that GReader had however but does have the Reader keyboard shortcuts to move through the feed articles.
Am I missing something? Endless scrolling is the reason GReader wiped the floor with the competition, without it Yoleo's not the same at all, plus it has a three-column layout. Also, with Ubuntu/Firefox, the navigation keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work... except in the right column, which I don't need in the first place?

#83Earlier quoted context omitted.
Same here. There's something 'off' about it, compared to google reader, that I can't put my finger on, but it's good enough for my needs.
I would love to know. Any hint as to what's strange?
Too much... stuff. Lots of small buttons IN ALL CAPS. Irritating UI "helpfulness" like (just one example) overriding right-click on article titles, so you have to right-click, aim pointer, left-click to open the original in a new tab.
The showstopper for me is the lack of infinite scrolling, although only today (after using NewsBlur for several months!) did I realize it's apparently intentionally crippled so I'd go upgrade to the premium version.

I'd say you are missing something :)
I'm in the process of implementing a "headline mode", as mentioned here and elsewhere that will bring that sort of two column functionality for those who like it.
Also regarding the shortcuts, you're using Firefox? I noted in the blog and through my notification system that users using firefox will have issues with shortcuts until I squash whatever bug is causing the problem.

Shameless plug here, but Lector[1] has a two-column layout (and you can also hide the sidebar if you like) and endless scrolling. It's also surprisingly similar to Yoleo's layout in some points. If you like them, maybe you should check us out too ;)
Re: Digg Reader Update
#86It's nice that lots of folks are jumping in to fill the void left by Google Reader, but if there's one thing that the Google fiasco has proven, it's that we need a standardized, open protocol for synced RSS reading, to break vendor lock-in. Maybe something as basic as hosting OPML on WebDAV, with extensions to support read/unread states, sync dates, and other reading-related metadata. I've switched my calendar and co…
As a feed reader developer myself, I find your idea for a standardized protocol very interesting. I don't have much experience designing protocols, but I'd love to help if someone is working on something like this. I have some friends who would love to see such a protocol implemented on all these readers we're seeing coming out every day ;)

#87> Our focus will be on *Android app... And no mention of iOS. Does that mean they're not going for iOS first? If so, that's a very interesting decision.
> And no mention of iOS. And no mention of WP8 either. It's no wonder I continue to feel the tug of going back to Android in another few months for my next upgrade.
Neither Android nor WP8 get priority for obvious reasons. Cutting edge apps? iOS.
Re: Digg Reader Update
#88Looking forward. I will give this a serious try as I am not a Feedly fan. The first key is in them providing absolute control to the users for the selection of their content and the stuff they would rather see on their own (instead of platform dictating what we should see and read).
Why is everyone hating on Feedly

The end-less scroll of feeds in GR is not just a UI feature. It's an incredible/killer data feature that let you go back to the entire history of a feed (since GR start to capture the feed for anybody), even if you just subscribed to a new feed. It's content sharing at its finest.
GR is not just feed aggregator but the most complete feed archive ever existed -- am I the only one who realize this?
I don't think there'll be an adequate GR replacement, ever! unless G donates the feed archive to the public, which I think would be one of the best things G can do now.

#90I am using http://multiplx.com for the last 2 months and pretty happy with it. It has its own engine and most of the google reader features.
