Hacker News Reader

Comment by vertis | Hacker News Reader

I recently switched from Gmail to Fastmail.fm for much the same reasons as the OP. Fastmail.fm managed to migrate 30k emails without so much as a sweat.

I still haven't worked out what I'm going to do about Google Reader :(

I also recently did the Gmail -> Fastmail switch. I had some trouble with the automated import, but I found a Perl script that did the trick: https://gist.github.com/masnick/5239278#file-gmail_to_fastma...

So far I've loved Fastmail. It's great having a real human respond to a support ticket, usually within a few hours!

I'm quite happy with own open-source Reader replacement: https://github.com/swanson/stringer

I've switched to feedbin.me ($2 a month), web app is ok, iPhone Reeder (iOS) can sync but not yet iPad version.

Has few bells and whistles (which is a plus in a way - not infected with social disease) but does the basic read and sync quite well.

Seconding Feedbin. Still missing a couple things (feed renaming...), but seems to work the best out of all the post-Reader RSS readers.

I have tried all usually mentioned clients (oldreader, newsblur etc) and didn't like any of them. I switched to bazquux - pretty, minimal, awesome keyboard shortcuts and ability to view comments (if the article has any).

I've been using Feedly since the Google Reader announcement, and am quite happy with it.

https://www.newsblur.com/ or https://theoldreader.com/

It took me less than 1 min to move all my feeds from Google Reader to Feedly. There is not really much to figure out there.

I've been happy with newsblur.
