I wrote my own. I never really used Google for reading feeds anyway. None of the open source solutions looked very interesting and it was a nice exercise for me. I would have open sourced it but the code is too bad, maybe a 2.0.

#32I started with Feedly, but realized there is no OPML export, which locks me in. This Reader situation taught me to not be locked in ever again. Plus, I'm not entirely convinced the transition from the Google backend is going to be smooth, and I don't care for the interface. The Chrome extension also runs in the background and keeps my LastPass authentications open, a huge, huge security risk. I have since switched to…
That's a really good point. I would recommend upvoting the suggestions at their uservoice site. They're actively listening, although I'm sure they're busy. In fact, I believe the uservoice voting is one of the primary reasons Feedly is headed to Windows Phone 8.

I really like the Feedly iOS interface for reading, but the app needs some work before it's any good as a primary feed aggregator. The main issue is that it forgets the Google authentication after a few days, even after an update which claimed to fix that issue. That doesn't fill me with confidence that the transition to their backend will be as smooth as they claimed.

#35I have been programming my own replacement:

It's fun to hack, and works well enough for me now. Come check it out.
Re: Poll: Which RSS reader have you switched to?
#36I haven't switched yet. What I would like to have is the reader that is basically the same as the old good Google Reader: - be web based - be cross platform (so I can use it on phone and desktop) - be light on network and fast to load - have simple design - should have folders - sort by oldest - mark all as read (in the folder) - be optimized for text, not pictures and that's pretty much all. What it shouldn't have i…
"What it shouldn't have is: ... - ads ... Of course, it should also be free."
Those two things are mutually exclusive though, unless it's being run by someone with enough money not to care or it's self hosted.

#37I haven't switched. I'm still using the same software that gave me my first RSS feed. Firefox.

I don't like that the web version of Feedly takes over Google Chrome and seems to make it crash occasionally.
In the end I have moved to Yoleo, as it is a standalone web app and has a nicer interface.
