After Google Reader shut down, I tried several alternatives, but The Old Reader is the one that stuck. It's incredibly straightforward, with a clean, familiar interface that makes catching up on my feeds a breeze. The fact that it's open-source and community-supported gives me great confidence in its future, and the free tier is more than generous for my daily use.

After Google Reader shut down, I tried several alternatives, and The Old Reader has been my daily driver for years. The interface is clean, intuitive, and highly customizable, making it a pleasure to read through my feeds. It handles my large list of subscriptions reliably, and the ability to import/export OPML files makes switching or backing up a breeze. As an open-source project, it feels like a true community effort that respects user choice and privacy.
