In plain words

Freader is an open-source RSS feed reader built with Node.js and Angular that displays all user feeds and their latest items on a simple page. Designed for developers and RSS enthusiasts seeking an alternative to Google Reader, it offers quick account creation and basic feed aggregation. Reading articles within the application is not yet supported but is planned for future updates.

Now that Google Reader is over, why not use an open source Feed Reader ! Freader provides you with a simple page with all your feeds and the last item in them. You cannot read articles inside the application for now but it's on the TODO list ! You can see it in action in just a little Heroku app here ! Account creation take about 10 seconds, just try it ! I'm Guillaume Besson (AKA Geekuillaume), a young and passionate French developer. You can contact me on Twitter or by emailfrom geekuillaume.github.io
