Google Reader was supposed to be much more than a tool for nerds. But it never got the chance.

Google didn’t just kill Reader that day, they killed my relationship with Google.

There have been plenty of services I used at Google that they killed however Reader was the one that didn’t have any good alternative. It was the one that hurt the most, and I don’t think I have signed up for a single Google service since the day Reader was killed.

What do you use for RSS feeds now?

Feedly is the closest thing to Google Reader that I’ve found.

Nice, I use Inoreader. And openrss.org and rss.app for websites that dont have RSS feeds.

I’ve been able to get pretty much everything I want to follow on the internet in my RSS reader. I even subscribe to Lemmy communities in my RSS reader instead of on Lemmy directly 😆
