The best RSS clients that I've found (Reeder for iOS and Pulse for Android) both use Google Reader as a backend to keep the feed list in sync. I don't really want a whole ecosystem, any social features, a fancy web site, etc. All I really want from an alternative is for it to provide an API for keeping feed lists in sync and for the many Google Reader clients currently available to support it.
reeder app is so good, I'm afraid Im tied to it and have to go with whoever Silvio chooses to go with. But otherwise, yeah newsblur's learning feature seems pretty cool.

For those who missed out, Slant.co was posted on HN about a week ago and is for exactly this sort of thing.
It just shows you a scrolling marque of clickable headlines and doesn't otherwise get in the way. Its something to glance at when you're waiting for a compile ;)

I create it because I want to learn how to do one page webapp with Backbone.js, but at the last, I drop backbone, life become much easier.
When writing it, I need an async HTTP Server and Client, so I write one myself, called http-kit[2], it seems that it's more popular than Rssminer.
Rssminer is not feature complete as other ones, It has:
1. Import subscription list from Google Reader 2. Feed reading 3. Keyboard support 4. Fast (the landing page is not very fast, though) 5. Run it yourself, the readme on github has detailed procedure about how to run it locally.
Bug report or pull request are welcome. Let's build a Rss reader we like.
