replacements?
It's rather funny, since about 3 weeks ago I did some work on a google-reader-like app... It's not finished ofcourse and I doubt it'll ever be ...
there are tons of rss readers out there -- web and offline. i suspect the next 3 months will result in massive additional work being done given the potential market opening up.
It's been a few years, but when I tried a bunch, all of them either sucked or didn't do what I wanted to do. Writing a RSS reader that doesn't suck (for me) has been on `the list' for a long time ...
check out the old reader and feedly
The old reader requires me to sign in with Facebook, so that's obviously unacceptable.
Feedly requires Firefox, which I don't use. And even if I did use firefox: I don't want no stinkin' plugin

i use twitter now.
I am pretty bummed about this. tried setting up selfoss and ran into some stupid php error. have heard good things about tt-rss as well so I may try that.
do you think this is because they got bored with it? because they don't know how to monetize it?
i wonder what changed.

lr > i think your second point is spot on. they didn't have a clear path to monetizing reader user data that wasn't materially different than how they monetize search.

newsblur looks kind of nice. I was hoping for something with a mobile-friendly web interface though, because storage is precious on my nexus one. I should probably try to set up selfoss again.
still haven't figured out the reader replacement. feedly or newsblur look like the best options.
I recently imported all my reader feeds into selfoss and unfortunately it didn't retain the hierarchy in any way, or maybe it's just not viewable. I can either view "tags" which correspond to the folders I had in reader, or "sources" which is just an alphabetical list of all feeds. not being able to dig down to a specific feed via folders or tags is super annoying.
so I guess I haven't completely figured it out either.

yeah. i need to find one that has a sharing feature. i had a great group of people that i shared with back in the old days, and i've been tasked to find a replacement reader with that feature because i'm apparently the most tech savvy.
been loving feedly
Finally got around to finishing this:

I tried selfoss and tiny-tiny-rss (ttr), but I couldn't get either to run error-free :-/ With selfoss I couldn't even figure out how to add feeds (?)
(Disclaimer: I only tested this with two different feeds).

I'm just getting a directory listing when I run serve.py.
oh in tpl I get something that looks like it might be a web page. lemme get a feed added.
wasn't selinux or anything to do with permissions. also made sure feedparser was installed and still nothing. help!!
also I forget how I got selfoss working. it was a pain though.

You need to access /cgi-bin/index.py, not /tpl/ ... In addition, this morning I discovered that serve.py only works with Python 3... while index.py only works with Python 2,,, hah :-/
:[
Python versions can be kind of a pain.

don't use selinux. no one needs selinux.
i deleted my google+ profile. small victory
i should do that too
I want to delete my entire Google account before the year's out, but I'm worried about what it will do to my lone project on Google Code. I should have used Github >:/.
killing plus is a good start. also, you can (probably) export your data
but all the links I've dropped all over the web will die! dead links are the worst.
what would you do about google play, if you had an android?
I do have an android phone. I made a google account that's like 290rieofsdi0@gmail.com or something, solely for the play store.
contacts and calendar are on my radicale server and s/month/year in that post, obv.
