[REQ] The Old Reader client
 
As you might know, Google has nearly killed its Reader service. The Old Reader tries to fill this gap with its web-based newsreader inspired by an older version of Google Reader. While this is all very nice, the real interesting part is this: http://blog.theoldreader.com/post/53...ate-june-17-23

Their API is nearly ready for beta testing and The Old Reader asks interested application developers to get in touch. Would you want to create a new or modify an existing Google Reader application to work with the The Old Reader? If so, you secured at least one user on both the N900 and the N9 :)

Until a few months ago I used to use NewsFlow for google reader (N900). Since the announcement I stopped using GR and Newsflow, and use T-O-R (with microb, works fine).

Given that NewsFlow is just a QML "app", it may be easily tweakable. I have zero experience with QML, but if it's just a dumb language, it should be doable, of course once the T-O-R API is known.
