Feedly embraces app development by opening up API to all

Image

Feedly just got markedly more developer-friendly. The news aggregator has added a slew of new third-party apps to its platform and has also opened up its new cloud API to all interested parties, starting...now. According to a post on the company's blog, it enlisted 50 developers over the course of half a year to create an elastic programming interface that lets people create apps in less than a week. Interested developers can download the API at the source link below. You can also visit Feedly's page to check out the selection of currently available apps.

Feedly Pro now available to everyone, offers a ‘more powerful’ reader for a fee

Feedly Pro now available to everyone, offers a 'more powerful' reader for a fee

Feedly's popularity increased massively with the news of Google Reader being put out to pasture, so much so that it figured it wouldn't be such a bad idea to introduce a paid version of its RSS service. Therein Feedly Pro was born. Now, after being available to a limited amount of people, Feedly Pro is opening its doors to everyone, provided folks are willing to fork over the $5 per month or $45 per year for the extra functionality. Here's what those fees will get you in return: more search options within feeds, one-click integration with Evernote and Pocket, premium customer support and, lastly, HTTPS support to keep things vastly more secure. According to Feedly, additional features will be coming regularly to Feedly Pro in order to bring more productivity tools to users and, perhaps more importantly, make itself sustainable going forward.

Feedly goes Pro: $5 per month for better search, security and more (update: sold out)

Image

Log into your free 'n easy Feedly RSS service this morning and you may be offered the opportunity to make it less free, but potentially even easier to use. An upgrade to Feedly Pro will normally cost $5 per month or $45 per year, but it's also currently be sold for $99 with a lifetime membership for the first 5,000 claimants. In return, the cloud-based reader promises the following:

  • Https support to "add a layer of security to your Feedly browsing"
  • Article search that allows you to search "within your Feedly feeds";
  • Evernote integration that enables one-click saving of an article to a selected notebook;
  • Premium support, which means upgraders will "get bumped to the front of the support line" if they need a hand.

And there we have it. An inevitable move on Feedly's part, no doubt, though we can't help but remember the days when it made us all feel special.

Update: Those 5,000 limited editions are all gone. The outfit has set its sights on unleashing the full-on pro version "in a few weeks" thanks to the funds raised.

Google Reader Closes Down Today


A very sad demise of Google Reader is being done today. Google has already announced in March that it will power down its Reader services on July 1, 2013. Google gave its Reader users 3 months to...

Google Reader Is Dead, Long Live RSS

There is no time to shed tears over the demise of Google Reader; many of you have probably migrated to another stable RSS Reader. This post is a quick shout-out to all our Yanko Design fans that have been busy with stuff, now is a good time to drop all things and quickly transfer ALL your lists and feeds (including Yanko Design) from Google Reader, before they shut doors permanently. We think readers like Feedly are great. They offer easy migration and can automatically transfer all of your feeds for you.

Wired.com had compiled a list of alternate readers for you and you can pick the one that suits you best. We think Feedly will be a good fit since they offer a standalone web version and its own cloud syncing service. If you act now – before Google Reader shuts down – Feedly will allow you to transfer all of your feeds for you and retain that Google Reader look.

We hope to see all our 250,000+ RSS subscribers through the new channels!

Reeder for iPhone goes free for now, gets Google Reader alternatives soon

Reeder for iPhone goes free, gets Google Reader alternatives soon

Silvio Rizzi made the iPad and Mac versions of Reeder free to use in the wake of Google's plans to shut down Google Reader, but he left the iPhone app at its usual $3 price -- and its fate in the air. Existing users can now rest easy, as Rizzi has pledged ongoing support for the smaller screen. The current edition of Reeder for iPhone is now free to use, and an already-submitted 3.2 update will bring support for alternative news services like Feedbin, Feedly, Feed Wrangler and Fever. Anyone using the iPad and Mac editions will have to be patient, however. Both apps will eventually get the additional news sources, but Rizzi is taking down the existing releases on July 1st to minimize confusion while he works on updates.

Editorial: As Google Reader dies, reading struggles to be reborn

Editorial As Google Reader dies, reading struggles to be reborn

When Google announced it was pulling Reader's plug (which will happen next week), the outcry was loud and viral. If I may speak for those who were most wounded by the knife in Reader's back, the announcement shock was mixed with betrayal, anger and loss. Those who built RSS reading into their lives generally placed it at the epicenter of their online activity. Anticipating life without Reader was a black-hole view -- the web with a void punched into the center.

As the wailing turned practical, exporting and migrating recommendations proliferated. The commotion died down for a while, and has now resumed for Reader's final week. Major and minor brands are jumping into the feed-reading game, seeking to sway a vocal population looking for new homes. But is a loud community of users also a large community of users? Feed-based web consumption hasn't had this much publicity in years. Does all this product development and media attention signal a rebirth of RSS's geeky convenience? Or are money and effort being thrown at an ephemeral market?
