I've been building an RSS reader for the past year.

@tg thank you for @newsblur sync support!

[tg@indieweb.social]

@acdha @newsblur of course! They didn’t try to charge me thousands of $$ per month to let people access their content like 2 other large feed services.

[acdha@code4lib.social]

@tg @newsblur that is unsurprising on both counts, sadly in the latter case.

[tg@indieweb.social]

@acdha @newsblur I was surprised because they are available in so many other apps that got grandfathered in.

[newsblur@mastodon.social]

@tg @acdha that’s wild! Though users must be premium to use the api with a third party reader, so that’s a restriction, but I wonder what the business case is for high fees on the api.

[tg@indieweb.social]

@newsblur @acdha you wouldn’t believe what I’ve been through here with dozens of emails. Feel free to dm. Newsblur literally one of the best to ever do it. So much respect.

[tg@indieweb.social]

@newsblur @acdha they literally won’t mint me a key, as app publisher to use, or test, without committing to $x,xxx per month.

[tg@indieweb.social]

@newsblur @acdha you can probably figure out who I’m talking about based on who is supported in the app. I’m aware of who folks use :)

[jac@social.lol]

@tg It looks beautiful! I’m excited to try it, hopefully soon.

@tg @austingovella 👀

[tylersuits@mastodon.social]

@tg this is pretty awesome. I see that you can “bring your subscription” with The Old Reader, but for clarification: does that sync with the old reader or does it just import it?

[tg@indieweb.social]

@TylerSuits syncs!

[brohrer@recsys.social]

@tg this inspires me

[tylersuits@mastodon.social]

@tg buying now. Thank you, sir!

[tg@indieweb.social]

@TylerSuits thank you!

[tg@indieweb.social]

@brohrer thank you!

[richardthebrave@mastodon.social]

@tg this looks gorgeous and if I could say one thing it’s get a button to the app higher up on the page because within 2 seconds it’s shutupandtakemymoney.gif

Edit: and YES I get that’s probably against the vibe of this project but still

[tg@indieweb.social]

@richardthebrave thank you! but yes, well, I want to make sure you're darn sure!

[dhry@mastodon.social]

@tg @rmateu Was I just forced to scroll six thousand pages down to find the app link? It better support feedly sync..

[tg@indieweb.social]

@dhry @rmateu you were, and unfortunately it does not. They refuse to respond to me and it appears as though they want a kings ransom from me per month to allow users to access their content.
