Hi:

I am looking for a web based feed reader. All I can find is Velakor  
feeds ([404 Not Found](http://velakor.com/?page_id=47))which is at least an active  
project. Does anyone know of any other active feed reader rails app? it  
would be nice to compare before deciding on Velakor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

You might want to try out ajuby ([http://ajuby.openapp.org](http://ajuby.openapp.org))

It has feed reader as part of the rss-to-email subscription module.

What are you exactly looking in an ideal feed reader. We can roll some  
of that in the next release.

Thanks for the tip. I have seen your site before but i was not sure  
if the project was very active. Seems like you have started it again …  
Cheers.

Google Reader! in my opinion its the ideal and simple. Is this something  
you  
have in mind. Velakor feeds seems to have that but it uses extensively  
mysql i.e. hardwired so Its a bit of trouble cos my requirement is  
postgres…I will  
try to give yours a try…Let me know what are your plans regarding feed  
reading… it would be nice not to re-invent this again…
