I just got around to trying Stringer. Great job. I've said this before, but right now, this is my favorite!
First, I can confirm the install on Heroku was indeed only a 5-minute job for me — an intermediate-advanced OS X/Linux command-line user, but not (yet) a developer, and not a previous Heroku user.
I need to use it for a few days to make sure, but at first glance I love the simple interface. It's like Google Reader's full-screen mode, but with a decently narrow reading column. The font size and line-height aren't my absolute favorite, but since I'm self-hosting I can just change the CSS! (I will have to learn how to update the stylesheets and still be able to keep updated to the current version. Maybe a good time to learn git?) Mobile web works OK and hopefully will get better: https://github.com/swanson/stringer/issues/7
