FeedRebel.com - Your Google Reader Replacement? - Thoughts/Feedback?

hey Everyone, I built FeedRebel [ http://www.feedrebel.com ] partly because I needed a feed reader myself but mainly because it ties in nicely with an idea that I've been working on. For those of you that are still on the fence when it comes to choosing a Google Reader alternative, I would love it if you could give FeedRebel a try and let me know your thoughts. I realize that there are quite a few options out there already with some big launches yet to come. I look forward to your comments and thoughts. Thank you

    I'm building a Google Reader Replacement2013 · ▲11

    In the last days I started to build a Google Reader replacement http://reader.is (also found this nice domain name). What do you think of it? For the moment it's just very simple you can add feeds and then read them aggregated or single.

    BlogRoll - Yet another replacement for Google Reader2013 · blogrollapp.com · ▲15

    I've been working on this in my spare time for the past few months, and in light of the news about Google Reader shutting down, I thought I'd announce this today: BlogRoll is meant to be an improved version of Google Reader with a tiled interface (which may not be everybody's cup of tea), but it works well for photo-focused sites like food and fashion blogs, and it handles other news sites and blogs quite well, similar to a newspaper-style layout As for people switching over from Google Reader, it can also automatically import your existing feeds (click the "Import from Google Reader" button…

    Readbo - Making a better Google Reader2012 · ▲5

    Hey everyone, I have spend some of my free time of the last year and a half working on a cool project: Readbo ( http://readbo.com ). I loved using Google Reader, but I always thought it wasn't being updated quickly enough, and wanted some new features. So I decided to create something that would be better than Google Reader and at the same time make Google Reader users happy. Readbo is an RSS reader, but it also has filters to filter out what you don't want to see. You can also aggregate Twitter and Facebook. I personally love this feature. Even if you don't use RSS reader's, having Facebook…

    You Need Feeds – Introduce friends/family/workmates to RSS and webfeeds2018 · ▲205

    Partially inspired by recent discussions on HN and other places. I've made a single-focus site to introduce your friends/colleagues/neighbours/family to RSS and web feeds. https://www.youneedfeeds.com/ The site is meant to give the elevator pitch for feeds, show a newbie what feeds are and how to use them, set them up with a reader, and give them some nice starter content if they want it. So much tastemaking and newsmaking power is concentrated in the hands of Facebook/Reddit/Twitter, but I'm convinced it's because much of the general populace doesn't…

    Lurnby, a tool for better learning, is now open source2022 · github.com · ▲162

    I've been working on Lurnby for 2 years. It's kind of like a mix of pocket + kindle + anki. It lets you => add add epubs, pdfs, and web articles to the app => highlight and add comments => tag and organize highlights => review them with a spaced repetition system Today I made the decision to open source the project. I'm passionate about helping other people learn to learn better and hope that this will allow a lot more innovation in the tool and the space. I'm very new to open source and development in general really, but looking forward to receiving the guidance of the community.

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
