Hacker News Reader

I continue to be amazed that Bazqux has gotten little to no press recognition. The UI is clean, simple, and an excellent match for the Google Reader UI, and it offers several different list view options (of which headline list is the only one _I_ need, but at least the options are there for those who are so interested. There's an API, and it's picking up some device app support (I use News+ on Android).

The one potential downside is the need to pay a subscription fee after 30 days, but given my heavy dependency on RSS, and what happened to the free Google Reader, $10-$30 a year is a trivial and well-deserved expense.

I tried a lot of different readers prior to and after the reader shutdown, and Bazqux was the only one I found I could live with.

Very fast, has search, is consistently up, keeps the familiar UI and has no problem with my 1,000 item/day habit.

Worth the small expense.
