I'm a Reeder user myself, though 99% of my reading is done on the Mac version. So far, ReadKit ($4.99, MAS) is the closest thing I've found to a replacement. I'd still prefer Reeder, but I can comfortably live with ReadKit if need be.
Reeder for OS X is scheduled to get Feedbin support in the near future.
Not 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 Kicksta…
Have you heard of Newsblur? Sounds exactly like what you're describing. API: http://www.newsblur.com/api Open Source: https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur Also, cheers for not including a link to your Kickstarter.
Reader itself had a whole bunch of stuff which got in the way. One time I tried mocking it up with most of that stuff gone and I liked what I found. That's the sort of ideal I went for with my own thing: enough of a bar so people know it's a feed reader and not some scuzzy content thievery site (since they arrive when they see it in their referrer logs), and a way to flip through the posts.
The Kickstarter was an attempt to try something really "out there" for me and see if it would work. It looks like it will not.

I did (via the contact form), but no response was received.
You'll have to let me know how getting ignored in two different mediums feels. Protip? Getting people to talk to you is another form of sales. Also, don't ask questions in public for which the answers that could cause them to get blacklisted in their field of choice. That's a pretty good way not to get an answer. Rachel tends to be a drive-by participant in this community. Look at the comment/post history and the pro…
One 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.
I installed the feedly extension and it proceeded to trash every page I viewed by inserting itself at the bottom. Even in plain Javascript files I was viewing

I saw Newsblur quite some time back, maybe in 2011 when I decided to move myself off Reader. It didn't look like anything I wanted: so many frames! Reader itself had a whole bunch of stuff which got in the way. One time I tried mocking it up with most of that stuff gone and I liked what I found.

BTW, OT but what do you think of Larry, Sergey, and Eric?
"There's a list of articles, one per line, stacked vertically on the screen. After you've scanned your eyes to the bottom of the screen, how do you see more? You scroll it up, right? Ha ha ha. No. You swipe right. Madness."
Oh. THAT'S how you do it. I thought it was impossible to scroll down a list of articles. When you swipe down on an article list, feedly alternates between showing you a single article and a portion of the article list. I have no idea what the intended function is.
And do the different width bars on the homescreen mean anything?
I switched to newsblur which looks like it's from 2003 and has a terrible home page. But at least it doesn't surprise me.
