#2Not many people seem that interested in my approach to solving the feed reading problem. I run my own backend and frontend and just let it fetch things for me. Then I periodically check in and flip through to see what's new. If I wind up on some new platform on which the web frontend doesn't make sense, I'll write a native one which speaks the same simple "POST in, AJAX out" language. No big thing.
I set up a Kickstarter to turn it into open source and release everything I've written and then some, but it seems the momentum just isn't there yet.

#6Who knows, the demise of Google Reader seems to be spawning a lot of cool projects and Show HN's. I don't think it's the end of the world...seems to be driving forward innovation.

#8One thing the google reader apocalypse seems to have taught us is that everybody's sense of entitlement is way too damn high.
Feedly is documented. Type "feedly keyboard shortcuts" or "feedly tutorial" into google and you'll get all kinds of good (and concise) information. The fact that you didn't try to find any documentation doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

#9I don't understand the hate with the decision of Google shutting down the Reader. Apparently, the Reader users aren't worth that much.
