No, that's exactly what I want. Luckily, I'm building exactly that, but it's gonna cost you money[1].

Reason being is that RSS is 'dead'. I will never be able to attract funding for what I'm building, and to be able to maintain, extend, update and generally give it the love it'll need, it will need to support me, at least part time.

If you're interested in learning more about what I'm up to, I have a Launchrock page up at http://signup.viafeeds.com. The iOS screenshot was taken from my phone. The software is real, and very intentionally minimal.

I was expecting to have at least another few months of dev time before Google Reader shut down. The announcement yesterday caught me by surprise, and I tossed up the signup page as a response. Wish I'd had more time...

[1] A nominal amount to be sure, along the lines of that proverbial Starbucks beverage per month, but it definitely won't be free.

Is it mainly app or web based? I'm not interested in apps generally.
I'm focusing on the app experience at the moment, but I'm building both.
