Feedly appears to be the primary replacement for the Reader API.

With so many other major RSS reader apps buying into Feedly's Normandy API, it seems to be the defacto flagship replacement as Reader goes offline.  I'm still not as thrilled with those other apps as I am with Newsrob, though.  Any chance we can get Newsrob support for the NEW 800-lb gorilla in the RSS API jungle?

Unfortunately Newsrob isn't on the list :(

I imagine our dev wasn't contacted, but that doesn't mean we're automatically doomed to get shut out.

Just because NR hasn't officially run its sail up the Feedly mast doesn't mean Feedly support can't be added....

If the devs working on NR at the moment pull of the sync-engine abstraction / plugin model, we will end up with RSS nirvana - a client which can be adapted for Newsblur, Feedly and any other back-end that anyone fancies developing for. Win!

And we are in discussions with feedly.

As much I appreciate feedly stepping into google footsteps. I believe a decentralization should be a primary goal. I think everybody

here learned a lesson be dependent on one contributor. Does anyone know how interoperabel the feedly API is. Is it even open source

and available?

That's great. I'm pretty much sold on Newsblur (signed up to a premium account) but if feedly do hold to their promise of building a web-only non-plugin front end, they might become a serious contender.

[Mariano Kamp]

Well, so far we're discussing making NewsRob interoperable with multiple frontends. It depends on who wants to do the actual work and those would also drive the decision.

Feedly would be a natural first target, because presumably their API will be closest to Google Reader.

Good news, will keep fingers-crossed for ongoing NewsRob wonderfulness :D

Ditto Alan. As a long time use of NewsRob, I would be very sad if it disappears.

I thought Newsblur was first up? Ah well. :-)

[Travis Tabbal]

That's kind of up to whoever decides to write a sync adapter. Work has begun, give us a little time. I know we're getting close to 7/1. I doubt all of us will work on the same one at the same time, too much duplicated work. I suspect we'll end up with some on Feedly and some on NewsBlur. Personally, I like that NewsBlur is OSS. So even if they decide to close up shop, anyone could just set up their own server. Feedly looks like a good choice though. And if they do an API that's very similar to GR, it might be faster to just modify the existing code a little and be up and running while work continues on other options.

When feedly goes free-and-paid, it will look less attractive to most users..

I looked at newsblur but couldn't get it installed with a reasonable amount of effort. (On the hosted side, their free tier is pretty crippled - no more than 64 feeds that only update once a day, etc..)

I'll throw a vote for TTRSS, but the bad part is the developer. He spends more time being a troll than working on the app.. If you ignore that, it is a good reader and can be hosted completely free. I've got my install on a paid cloud host, but it runs really well on the free tier of Redhat's openshift hosting. And the API already exists.

+1 for TT-RSS, the dev is a moron, but it's truly OSS so others can take over if he leaves, it's really easy to set up (in repos on ubuntu and Debian), it does all that Google Reader can, and everything from GR can be imported - even starred items from deleted or otherwise now non existing feeds for a truly full move over from GR

[Janne]

I've installed tt-rss on my home server already. The developer can be needlessly abrasive, I agree, but the software is good. In fact, I've bought his for-pay version of the Android client and it's not bad at all, though I much prefer NewsRob of course :)
