Google Reader

Finding an alternative to Google Reader

Google has pulled the plug on Reader thus the hunt for an alternative has started.

Requirements:

• syndicate RSS feeds
• dedupe feeds
• keyboard navigation of feeds
• un-minimize snipped contents from a feed
• ability to track what has been seen and has yet to be seen
• categorization/filing
• tagging/saving of articles

Nice to haves:

• sharing is caring

Suggested Hosted options:

• NewsBlur (http://newsblur.com/))
• Minus: keyboard shortcuts are inconsistant
• Minus: updates are inconsistant
• Minus: fails to process all content correctly
• Minus: UI's a mess
• Minus: sharing is extra clunky (ie only for newsblur?)
• Positive: it's up and running
• Positive: it's still free
• Postivie: others are using it
• The Old Reader (http://theoldreader.com/))
• Minus: idea of 'read' seems shakey
• Minus: share seems to be TOR only?
• Positive: it's up and running
• Postivie: it's still free

Suggested Self-Hosted options:

• Tiny Tiny RSS (https://github.com/gothfox/Tiny-Tiny-RSS)
• Minus: SLOW
• Minus: Chief maintainer is a jerk to the community
