Show HN: I'm building a Google Reader Replacement

[christianpuri]

In the last days I started to build a Google Reader replacement http://reader.is (also found this nice domain name). What do you think of it? For the moment it's just very simple you can add feeds and then read them aggregated or single.

Screenshots please. I'm not giving you my personal info just because of a pretty picture of the Earth. No offense, but you might be just harvesting email addresses for all I know.

I created a demo login user: [e-mail] password: [e-mail]

I don't understand why all of these Reader replacements require signup to see the site.

I haven't tried most of them for this reason.

It's possible to monetize page views without users being signed in.

I like the layout and have no problems with the hover -> click to load in new tab.

Possibly some way of creating/editing groups of feeds.

The icons burn up a lot of area and will be repeated for every story. Maybe have a way of turning those off.

Thanks for the feedback! Creating groups of feeds is absolutely on the to do list. Will think about the option to turn off icons.

The idea looks good. The concept, I have my doubts. I think the email concept for reading is outdated. Things like Flipboard or Zite are much much better for reading news, why no make it better like those?

[christianpuri]

Do you mean having a magazine like layout or filtering the news based on your interests?

[meerita]

That's it. Like Flipboard, Zite and those ones. Much better browsing experience than taping each element. Also, those formats allows you to peak the article without even loading it. To me it's a wonderful experience and many others enjoy that too. I think the old Reader UI is gone.

I think the tool needs a good reading pane. Not a hover type. I wish to read the whole article (when I have the content on the feed). Not very sure placing the reading pane on right will be a good idea.

Thanks for the feedback!
