@JohnPhilpin I’m sure he will, John. I’ve had some requests to support feed services like Feedbin, Feedly, and NewsBlur which, of course, made me think having everyone implement something the same would be nice.

\n

The weird thing about it is having a decentralized thing become centralized. But, how else do you keep everything in sync across multiple devices without a service? Be it your own or a third-party? The only thing that comes to mind is standardizing at an API level.

\n

I am 100% open to alternative solutions.

\n

As it stands I will be implementing multiple feed service APIs to support my users.

@johnbrayton @manton Fellas, should we define a standard set of APIs for feed readers?

\n

RSS and JSON Feed are anxiously at the center for adding feeds but if someone wants to hatch a server side component like what y’all have done with Unread and Inkwell wouldn’t it be nice for the basics to be the same?
