vshabanov··on A Google Reader Replacement written in Haskell and Ur
Mr.Reader and Feeddler supports BazQux on iOS. And there is a beta Android app from the author of gReader https://github.com/noinnion/newsplus

I'm not a native English (Russian in fact) and didn't knew that qux (or bazqux?) is unpronounceable. I'm reading it like Buzz-Cooks which sound somewhat funny in Russian.

There are some advantages with this name. It's unique (very easy to find mentions) and always on top of alphabetical lists.

And from what I'm seeing name is not that important if you have good product. But maybe I do some "rebranding" later.

Probably I'll open-source it at some moment in future. But just have no time to do it now.
