"We have been working on a project called Normandy which is a feedly clone of the Google Reader API – running on Google App Engine. When Google Reader shuts down, feedly will seamlessly transition to the Normandy back end. So if you are a Google Reader user and using feedly, you are covered: the transition will be seamless. If you are a Google Reader, give feedly a try before July 1st, and you will be able to migrate seamlesly for: iOS, Android, Chrome, and Safari." \\ Also recommend BACKING UP Reader data via http://www.dataliberation.org/google... which will create a zip file containing subscriptions.xml and useful json files. \\ Alternative services: http://www.zdnet.com/goodbye... - Adriano

HN poll and comments on alternatives: https://news.ycombinator.com/item... \\ 1. Feedly 2. NewsBlur (which is surprising) -- additional comments? Feedly removed search, which I hope will return. \\ If your Feedly is choking your browser, use http://cloud.feedly.com/#my as a landing page instead. \\ Other alternatives via Lifehacker: http://lifehacker.com/google-... - Adriano

"Feedspot [public beta] isn't perfect—there are no mobile apps (although visiting Feedspot on your phone gives you a functional mobile version of the site), and while the service is free, some of the best features are only available to "Gold" users (including the sharing and sub-feed features we mentioned, along with faster feed updates and priority support) which you only become by referring 10 of your friends to sign up." http://lifehacker.com/feedspo... - Adriano

I guess I need to finally decide this weekend, eh? - Amit Patel

28 June 2013: Feedly now does *not* depend on its browser extension. Thus it performs much better on the desktop Chrome browser than on Firefox, due to faster V8 javascript processing. (Runs on IE and Opera, too, but no comment there from me :-) Firefox will stall on Feedly, requiring a restart of the browser (click off the Feedly tab in the restore menu). \\ Feedly app for Android works wonderfully (don't use the Chrome browser in Android). Sync between devices is fine. There is a direct option to save articles into Pocket using the Android app (see settings). - Adriano
