Feedly made good on its word, and as of 19 June, has moved away from Google to its own infrastructure.
We also mentioned back then that Feedly was building its own service, dubbed Normandy, to replace Google Reader for syncing. All the services we mention here will import Google Reader’s subscriptions.xml file for you, so be sure to hold on to your export until you’re good and settled.įeedly - When we last checked in on Feedly, it was by far the best alternative to Google Reader: it’s free, multi-platform, and imports directly from your Google Reader account. If you haven’t done so already, be sure to export your existing Google Reader subscriptions to OPML. I’ve sorted through the competition to find the best choices that work for multiple platforms, have third-party support, and, if possible, follow sustainable business models. And our previous favorite, Feedly, even has some new flair to share. The good news is that the developer community has come through, and there are now several compelling alternatives to Google Reader for those who want syncing of RSS subscriptions between devices, though all are far from complete. Another one of our picks, Netvibes, is in sore need of an update.
Fever, a self-hosted solution, isn’t a top priority for its developer, Shaun Inman. When Google first announced the death of Reader, we took a look at the field of candidates available at the time, but frankly, it was a field that was dry and barren (see “ Explore Alternatives to Google Reader,” 18 March 2013). After 1 July 2013, without a last-minute call from Governor Larry Page, Google is flipping the switch and sending Reader to the land of abandoned Google initiatives. With the imminent death of Google Reader, it’s time to fish for a new RSS syncing service or cut bait, so to speak. #1659: Exposure notifications shut down, cookbook subscription service, alarm notification type proposal, Explain XKCD.#1660: OS updates for sports and security, Drobo in bankruptcy, why TidBITS doesn't cover rumors.#1661: Mimestream app for Gmail, auto-post WordPress headlines to Twitter and Mastodon, My Photo Stream shutting down.#1662: New Macs, 12 top OS features for 2023, vertical tabs in Web browsers, watchOS 9.5.1.#1663: Exploring the Apple Vision Pro, 12 more OS features coming in 2023, new Apple service features, Apollo shuts down.
