I have all of the Reeder apps (iPhone, iPad, Mac) and I'm heavily invested in this app's future. So, I guess I'm just waiting to see what is coming. I'd go with Fever but Reeder only syncs with them on the iPhone only .

Right, I'm in the same boat. I hope Silvio updates Reeder for iPad and OS X to add Fever support. After so many web services that I depended on have been shut down, I like the idea of hosting Fever myself. Getting to own your own data, no ads, less privacy concerns.

I wouldn't count on it. http://shauninman.com/archive/2013/03/14/fire

That's irrelevant. Shaun Inman doesn't develop Reeder. He develops Fever, which is fine as it is.

I'm surprised Flipboard hasn't been added to the poll.

Did anyone try to use Pulse (https://www.pulse.me/) as an RSS reader? it's not strictly one, but it might work, I'm thinking about switching to it.

In what way isn't strictly one? After spending quite a lot of time looking for nice RSS readers for the iPad I opted for Pulse and never looked back. Apart from anything else it seemed one of the few that (at the time) didn't rely on a Google Reader account.

I migrated to https://feedhq.org - its highly readable on both desktop and mobile and its open source: https://github.com/feedhq/feedhq

Demo? Screenshot? How can those things be missing from a landing page?

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.

I'm working on an API (https://feedreader.co/api) and would love to get feedback. Take a look at https://feedreader.co/arpith to see it in action.

Can someone explain how IFTTT could be a Reader alternative? I'd imagine that would take a lot of recipes. Also, IFTTT limits server requests.

HN covered this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5373807

Whoops, missed that post. Thanks!

No mention of Bloglines? They're still around (and halfway decent). http://www.bloglines.com/

I was part of the Bloglines team from 2007 to 2009.

The current Bloglines is nothing like the original. It looks like MerchantCircle kept only the name after acquiring it from Ask. The archived feed data is gone, and the current UI appears to be a re-skin/fork of Netvibes. It's a poor imitation of its former self.
