Hacker News Reader

I'm sorry, but why is this on Hacker News? The app looks like crap! Yellow folder icons? Come on! It seems as if it was written at the time where iOS 2 was new. Not bad, but just totally not able to compete with fancy apps like FlipBoard or even Reeder. If this would run on Android, maybe. But iOS? The bar went up.

So, do I miss something here?

Have you tried it? NewsBlur isn't your average feed reader.

Also, Flipboard et al serve different use cases. NewsBlur is a writer's reader. Flipboard is a news reader. NewsBlur, with its intelligence, helps you follow authors, and on the web it shows you the Original Site. It's also entirely open-source, being developed solo by me: http://github.com/samuelclay/

I have been using newblur from 2 months and absolutely loving it! An easy transition from Google reader after their design disaster.

Great work Sam.
