Linkrdr - Next Gen Feed Reader

nice start. Get me a way to import the opml file of my feeds from google reader and I'll give it a serious go. Thanks!

I didn't want to sign up, but I did anyway.

Then, when I signed up, it didn't have any feeds.

After that, I closed it.

Agree with the others on the OPML import. Also, would be a lot more interesting to be able to link into Twitter and pull links from all of the people I follow (or certain lists), rather than have to add them individually.

It should use link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" to discover feeds.

The app looks promising but you'd have to show a bit more before I create yet a other account.

How much research/interviewing did you do before building the UI/UX? I ask because I'm curious to know your findings, e.g. an outline style expandable list of stories performed better than the magazine style that was popularized by Flipboard.

Also, is there an easy way to collapse similar stories. I hate reading the same story about Apple 10 times from different news sources (not picking on Apple, just as an example).

Maybe I'm missing something, but did signing in via an external service (facebook) give me any sort of benefits or save me any time? It doesn't seem to have pulled any feeds in from FB, and I had to create a username regardless. That said, it certainly has potential and I'd be interested to see this in a slightly more fleshed out form.

Also: not sure this link needed to be proxied through "startupsea.com" - I got more context from the homepage of the app itself than your ads & short description gave. Sorry!

I would group "My Feeds" and "Add Feeds" into a single page "Manage Feeds" because having one page to add feeds and one which essentially only lets you delete them is a bit much.

also the default action on clicking a link title should be open the link not expand the box. Most of the time I would want to click the top few links, have them load in the background and then browse through them, having to click the open link button or expand and click seems a bit convoluted.

Protip: don't host HTTP things on ports other than 80 and 443. This site has its CSS and Javascript files hosted on other ports which are blocked for me.

Any links to the Privacy Policy?

I think the "Take the tour" should be renamed "FAQ"

I was hoping to see some shots of it in action before I signed up.
