Man, RSS still brings me so much nostalgia. Anyone still feel the pain when Google discontinued its RSS reader?

Feedly works more or less the same. I have no issues with it.

Yes, but mostly because of a lost opportunity.

I was working on my own web based reader when Google made a significant upgrade to their reader. It was similar to what I had made, so I thought it would be foolish to compete with Google and stopped working on it.

I wonder where RSS would be now if Google had not discouraged potential competitors.
