Poll: Do you use Google Reader on a daily basis?
I used to use Google Reader, but I found that I missed seeing the original site and that I couldn't easily filter out stories I didn't want to read.<p>So I built NewsBlur -- <a href="http://www.newsblur.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.newsblur.com</a>. It's open-source and I'd love if more folks followed my development: <a href="http://github.com/samuelclay" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/samuelclay</a>.<p>It's been a weekend project but it's been a wild ride so far. One of my main goals is to have much of the functionality of Google Reader, most of which has slowly made its way into NewsBlur. I'm currently working on a free iOS app for NewsBlur. I also put out an API so that others could also make their own feed reader.<p>But really, I missed seeing the original site more than anything. It looks like a security hole, but NewsBlur actually just proxies the site and displays it back to the user. And the intelligence slider keeps me sane, since I slide it towards green and my unread count comes down to a manageable level.
