I'm the project lead for Vienna, the open source RSS client for the Mac. We support Google Reader, and we want to support this:

If you're a Cocoa developer, feel free to jump right in. If you're going to implement the server side, shoot me a note @mstroeck (app.net preferred).

I tried Vienna today -- downloaded, installed, then tapped OK on the "Google Sync" option…

…an hour later, the application still was "not responding", though the little red number circle on the dock icon continued to climb. About a half hour later with the application still in a "not responding" state, I force quit and then proceeded to delete it.

Perhaps you're not a very technical person then. Or you have some bizarro ideas about testing new apps.

If an app is "not responding" after one hour, and it's not doing physics simulation or renders a 3D movie for Pixar, then you kill it and try again. Damn, I wouldn't even let it stay stalled for 10 minutes.

If you genuinely want to test the app (instead of only being interested in Google Sync), you'd also try how it does some other stuff, like adding some RSS feeds directly.
