Slashdot Mirror

I don't know about peaked, but about 90% of the news sites and blogs I go to have RSS. I get 500+ articles a day from about 100 feeds. For sites which only use Twitter inoreader incorporates them into the feed.

• Cloud9: Excellent, full feature Linux/Web development tool you access from a browser, anywhere
• Inoreader: This is the replacement for the departed Google Reader. Excellent
• Adobe Creative Cloud: OK, full disclosure, I get it free through work. But I'd still pay for it anyway if I had to

I still use RSS, and don't follow sites when they don't provide a feed. Why should I have to work for it? After a long search when Google Reader died, I decided on Inoreader: https://www.inoreader.com/ And I actually pay for it, which shocks both of us.

I've switched to Inoreader ever since, and I'm happy with it, since it's pretty much the same thing.

The issue nowadays is finding where the damn RSS feed is, since browsers took the icon away.

I use it with Inoreader. A great way to keep up with uncluttered information.

If I can't get it through an RSS feed, I don't read it. When Google Reader went away I tried a few alternatives, and settled on InoReader. It's not perfect (ads, a bit too intrusive for me to leave off my ad blocker), but it is serviceable. Keyboard navigation of entries is laudable.

I use http://www.inoreader.com/ for my RSS feeds, and I love it!

I don't use RSS for things like Slashdot as much as I used to, but I still read all of my webcomics through there. For me, RSS is ideal for websites that post one or two updates a day. For websites with more frequent updates, I usually just visit the front page.

I like an online reader because I use it from multiple computers with multiple operating systems, and I never have to worry about syncing what articles I've already seen and/or starred. My current favorite is Inoreader, but I've used The Old Reader and Feedly before, and they get the job done as well.

My feeds are Associated Press, Denver Post, Ars, Slashdot, Boing Boing, Kottke, AV Club, and a handful of web comics that I like. I can skim the headlines, and if there are articles I want to read later, I use the "Send to Kindle" browser plugin to push them out to my Kindle. I would be sad to have to give up my leisure reading workflow if sites stopped supporting RSS.

While some might run away in horror at the mention of the name AOL Reader, which has been around for a while now.. is pretty great.

It was recently updated and the ad bar was removed, the software is much quicker and with the fact it is not an independent business project like Feedly, or Inoreader.. there is no upselling!

I tried feedly, it was pushing the upsell too hard and the product didn't feel very useful in its 'free' state... ( https://feedly.com/ )

I tried Inoreader and its free product was much better than the feedly one, but its interface felt slow and clunky compared to what I wanted ( http://www.inoreader.com/ )

I tried DIGG Reader but it was so minimal and featureless that I barely went a week of using it before moving on ( http://digg.com/reader )

I also used TinyTinyRSS locally for a good 6 months and while it is quite good, and the only data I'm revealing to others is that i fetched their feed..maintaining the thing is something of a pain that never comes up with other places. ( http://tt-rss.org/redmine/proj... )

As of right now I am back to using AOL Reader as my main RSS feed reader... It is fast, the design is good enough for me.. no upselling ...the feature set is just enough to allow me to do what I did on google reader, and not overload.. and they seem to be actively working on making it better ( https://reader.aol.com/ )

InoReader did the trick for me. Using it for over the year now. So far - no problems whatsoever.

After a long and thorough search, I chose InoReader to replace Google Reader. The UI is quite similar, clean and to the point, but with some neat extra bells and whistles. There are many authentication options. Data can be easily moved in and out. Highly recommended.

...I wasn't really a fan of the "Old" Google Reader. I liked the "New" Google Reader better, so when I found InoReader http://www.inoreader.com/ - I was thrilled.

Thanks for the tip. I was in the same boat. It took me about 10 seconds to transfer the OPML file from my account on TheOldReader. (Much smoother than the transition from Google Reader to tOR).

Although they [tt-rss] don't officially support it on shared hosting servers, I've had no problems with it on Dreamhost.

I tried it on a private server. My biggest problem with TT is they don't officially support much of anything. Over half my feeds were broken when I tried it. When I went to the forums, I kept finding the developer telling people it's not TT it's the RSS feed itself and that he's not going to accommodate broken RSS feeds. Yeah, he's technically correct, many RSS feeds fail miserably at conforming to the standard, but every other RSS reader out there manages to at least work. When your RSS reader doesn't officially support half of the feeds I read, it ceases to be useful (to me at least). I'm using inoreader now. Yeah, I'm not in direct control of my data, but at least all my feeds work.

I've been using The Old Reader ever since it was first announced that Google Reader was shutting down. I checked out all the options I knew about and decided to go with The Old Reader as they seemed to support my needs the best. My needs are basic; I follow a few blogs and their comments.

I signed up at the same time. While I didn't quite like the interface, it was the best I could find at the time. However I did keep looking and actually settled on inoreader just before Google Reader shut off. It's gone from good to exactly what I was looking for. My biggest concern on inoreader is there's no monitization either, so....

If you're a user of The Old Reader wondering if you really have to go back to Feedly - the answer is no, you don't. Head on over to http://www.inoreader.com/ and feel welcomed by the superb developers/support crew that are more than happy to take your feedback to create a better product.

Nobody should have to stay through a series of "We're quitting! Wait... Maybe ... No ... If only... Probably... Flip a coin" announcements about whether or not they can continue to use their RSS reader.

I was on The Old Reader around the same time period as you, but didn't stick through it.

The main reason though was that I wasn't really a fan of the "Old" Google Reader. I liked the "New" Google Reader better, so when I found InoReader http://www.inoreader.com/ - I was thrilled.

InoReader is also kind of a hobby project for someone, but has far fewer downtime issues than TOR, open sign up all the time, has issued a Google Reader-compatible API, and has a very responsive and helpful development/support crew.
