Hacker News Reader

I love using Google Reader but I don't see what the big deal is. It seems like an RSS reader is something anyone can build in a month maybe. There are alternatives that seem to be less than optimal but I assume they'll get their act in gear. I would be in their place.

Well the article is about the synchronisation, not the RSS client.

I can read the same set of feeds in Flipboard on my phone, Reeder on my ipad and NNW on my mac.

The people who were building alternative synchronisation systems gave up when Google moved in with Reader; hopefully someone will step in with an alternative now, but there are a LOT of apps that will need to be updated to take advantage of the new system.
