Comment on NewsBlur: A feed reader with intelligence

Comments

Very nice so far. Seems to be stalled on the GR import. I like the UI so far. I don't know how much of the learning I'll make use of -- I usually only follow feeds where I want to read most everything, so further discrimination isn't really helpful to me, but having a good UX on a feed reader that isn't Google's makes me happy.

Yeah, there's over 10,000 feeds in the queue in front of all new users right now. I fixed a bug which was causing all new feeds to queue, instead of just new feeds that the user is activating. (New feed = feed never before fetched. So most feeds have been seen more). That 10,000 would've been a 2,000, but it still would've been too much in a single hour to handle. (That's 10,000 OVER the 14,000 feeds beings fetched already, so it's catching up quickly.)

Give it a few hours and it'll catch up and all will be well.

Seems to have mostly caught up. Very good. The only features I would add (you might not -- it's your app after all) are the ability to default to Feed view for all feeds, and an 'all unread' bucket sorted by inverse posting time. Otherwise, it's well ready to take over from GR for me.

Yup, soon. Those are going to be preferences and enough folks have requested it that it will make it in within the next couple of weeks.
