- Use a client that supports RSS.

- Sync your data with Dropbox and use it on other machines.

Or

FeedHQ.org (Open Source) looks like a fine alternative but I am not sure what it supports yet in terms of your needs. Like they do have list, unread counts, tags(categories). Well, they have support read it later(which you said you don't want, maybe - but it's not that social :P)

Hell, even I do not want a social service or another GR or maybe not another free service that will go kaput anyday.

I guess FeedHQ guys have a real chance here with NewsBlur too cluttered and too slow.

FeedHQ seems very close to what I want, unfortunately it's throwing a 500 error when importing my subscriptions. I'll give it a more closer look later, thanks for that.

Edit: and it's open source. This definitely seems like a good base to start from if it doesn't fit my needs.

Exactly. I just don't see why dev(s) are not jumping at this opportunity. Though I saw one dev wishing luck to NewsBlur on twitter :-)

I'm not interested in making money from such a venture, I'm interested in a service I can use. If I have to write it myself though, I will. I'll be shopping for alternatives this weekend, and starting a github project if I find nothing that suits.

There's got to be some people around here doing their own that would roughly align with what I'm after. And I'm happy to pay for such a thing.

Should be a very interesting couple of months for sure.

Well, sounds nice. Do keep us posted in case you start sth. Will see if I can contribute(or use).

My reference to jumping was that I like the ideas of Pinboard and the elk and there's no reason why one for feeds wouldn't work. Work (esp well crafted and made for others to use - many ppl) requires time and effort and I find it natural for this work/job to be a paying one to be able to sustain interest and enthusiasm.

You can also use IFTTT, and let it put on your dropbox account. I used that for Twitter, until they shut IFTTT's account (Zapier (YC S12) still works, but it is paid).

The cool thing about this is that you get search. If only there was a web interface that would use my dropbox account, and allow me to mark as read, search and star things...
