On July 2, Google Reader shut down. I’m a heavy RSS user and I’m quite satisfied with the alternative I found, but I’m always on the lookout for better products. If you used RSS before, what did you do to replace Google Reader?

Did you share it online (Github, etc)? I’d love to take a look at it.

Not yet, since i am planning to rewrite it from scratch. My first (current) implementation taught my how to use backbone.js, bootstrap, coffeescript and node-webkit to crank out a crossplatform desktop application.

Now that i learned how that stuff works under the hood (my main reason to roll my own client), i am planning to build everything in a sane manner an then release it.

Looks good, I’ve added it to the list of options for the poll.
