I've been procrastinating on migrating, hoping for a last minute change of mind from G :)
One of the main reasons I stuck with G is searching of my 200+ feeds over the last 5 years. Looks like none of the alternative services would ever support that. GR's been increasingly faster for me as well, probably due to lighter load from people migrating off?
Google takeout only exports a small amount of metadata (starred/shared etc.). I wonder if anybody already wrote a script to suck down complete feeds (must support gr:continuation), so it can be indexed later?
I stopped using it the day of the announcement. I took the shortcut out of my bookmarks, deleted the app from my phone, and exported my feeds one last time. It felt a bit like a breakup. I don't think I'd go back if they changed their mind. Some things aren't put back together that easily.
By the same token, I'm not switching to somebody else's closed replacement. From now on, my RSS reader will always be an open-source thing that runs on my own servers. It might be klunky at the start, but if it truly matters I'll invest in it.
Have you looked at News Blur? The code is available to you if you want to do exactly what you said. I'm using the paid version and while it's a solid base it could use a few improvements.
This is what I'm waiting for too. The ability to search made it a powerful tool beyond just a news aggregator. So far, I have not been able to find an adequate replacement.
