This would make a great alternative to an RSS reader. I've always had two problems with RSS:

1) Design has value. RSS readers strip the aesthetic qualities out of a web page and leave you with sterile text. Given the way some websites have been designed this is sometimes a good thing, but at other times I feel like I'm missing part of the experience.

2) Some sites only offer summary-only RSS feeds for various reasons.

Prldr could solve both of these problems really nicely. Consider expanding the project to allow uploading an OPML file, and tracking what users have read.

Exactly! The same problem I always had with RSS readers. Think I am going to implement this in a few days.
