Good for them! I’ve been using Feedly since Google first announced the Reader shut down, and they’ve made improvements by leaps and bounds in a very short timeline.
But I’m still going to stick with the Chrome extension. It’s more feature-filled.
Yeah they’ve done an amazing job in a short period of time.
So Far it is the only REAL alternative I have found with a decent iOS client, web-interface AND API LIVE that supports 3rd party clients.
Yep. They have a huge head start over the competition right now. We’ll see what Digg Reader looks like next week.
Anyone else having trouble getting the web version to work? After connecting to my google account, the page just displays a ‘oauth’ logo… (using Safari on iOS).
