I use Bazqux, which is absolutely superb:

* Rock-solid, I haven't seen an outage

* Impressively fast (Reeder updates from it much faster than it ever did with Google Reader: I can get all my feeds in one Tube stop's worth of wifi)

* Has good features like filtering (goodbye "latest podcast" spam) and highlighting (only see certain posts from high-volume feeds

* Great keyboard UI on the web.

Can't recommend it enough. I understand it also has an interesting tech stack behind it too.




I also use Bazqux, and endorse every point bonaldi made. It also works pretty smoothly on iOS with Feeddler.

Despite shifting a lot of article tracking to Twitter, I still find RSS to be a better way to track and consume long form content. Also, the signal to noise ratio of the average RSS feed is much better than that of the average Twitter feed for people whose article's I'd like to read.


I tried Bazqux (before settling on Digg), but right near the end of my free trial they removed the one feature I give a damn about.

I've never cared for reading entries in the reader, I just want it to show me a list of links that I can easily mark as read and click through to the original article.


What feature was removed? I'm a developer of BazQux Reader and can't remember that I removed any major feature.


Essentially when looking at the list of feed items there was no longer a direct link to the articles without expanding the entries.


In list view it's possible to click on the article time. There is also old list view mode (before I've changed it to Google Reader-like one). It's in settings => List view => Normal. It has clickable article subject.
