PLEASE charge $30+ per year for this, so I can use it and not have to worry if it's going to be taken down due to lack of funds later on.

LOL, if only you weren't the minority! If you would like to donate more, just let me know and I can manually adjust your account. Perhaps I should make the donation amount variable starting at $9/yr.

Oh, one more thing: consider adding Bitcoin/Litecoin as a donation option. Might be a good way to get some extra PR buzz going :)

Instead of calling it a donation, just call it the 'pro' version and add like a supporter badge on the header or let them do something silly like change the color of their header like on HN. Will probably get more funds that way and won't get cynical people to roll their eyes at questionable use of the word 'donation' whether it is or not.

Alternatively, keep calling it a donation and let people donate whatever they want, with $9 as the minimum. A good RSS reader is worth a lot more than $9 a year to some people.

I'm unable to add rss feeds from yahoo pipes. Here is an example feed: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=fb09cb3a62553d0f06... It is the most simple of my yahoo pipes rss feeds (I use pipes a heap), it just kicks out the current #1 here on hackernews. I've never had any problems putting my pipes feeds into other rss readers.

I'll look into this. I had to restart after upping some connection limits which may have been when you were adding your feeds.

Yep, just tested and that feed you mentioned can be added.

I did not sign in with Google, but the import page still says "Importing…" without any action on my part. Will there be an option to manually upload a list of feeds?

I have the same problem as well. I didn't really want to create the account from my Google Account but would still like to import my feeds from Google Reader. If I click import it just hangs on the "Importing" page, which is odd as there is nothing to import.

It's mentioned a few times on this thread...the importer is just really busy and you'll be prompted for auth as soon as your turn is up.

Looks like an awesome service... I need a replacement for Google Reader so I'll try this one out. Also, please consider accepting bitcoin so I can pay without revealing my private credit card information.

Update: I am trying it out right now and I've noticed it's taking quite a long time to load my Google Reader profile. My Reader profile is absolutely enormous - hundreds of blogs and thousands upon thousands of read and unread posts. It took about 10 minutes to load a single blog. This is going to take a while.

I was calling it a donation, because I do offer the service for free. I wanted to offer the service to people that might not be able to afford it, and not have them punished by having fewer features.

That's the point - the "pro" version only gives you a silly, feel-good feature, but it (might) increase revenue when people feel they're actually getting something.
