$349 for something I can get with Android 13 on Amazon for $60. Hmm.

It's always good to see new development in the Android RSS sphere. A feature list and roadmap would greatly assist people with evaluating whether it's ready to trial. More screenshots would also benefit. As a FeedBin user, I'm very glad support is there, but are other aggregators planned? FeedBin, sadly, is a small player in a big field.

I'd do something with the name... way too easy to read it as "Crappy Reader" when you're scanning a list of search options. Even here, while scrolling my feed, I saw this as 'oh, someone's had a crappy experience with their RSS reader, I wonder which one it was.' Is it going up on Google Play anytime soon?

"Smallish" isn't a big selling point for me. A wildly competent parser would the big game changer in RSS development. It also tends to become the Achilles heel of reader developments. Someday, someone will bake in a fast Firefox custom tabs implementation directly in their reader with easily selectable ad blocking options and without needing Firefox to be installed (essentially making Firefox their parser). Then they'll be cooking with butter. They also won't have to constantly tweak their own parsers or call out to external programs. Thoughts in my head.

I'm gonna keep watch and see where this project goes. 🙂

Ya, that took me quite some time to get past. Still, I didn't really expect this city would do something right for the first time ever, so my disappointment was contained.

This is the way.

Maybe someone should ask the mother why her 13-year-old was out on the road at 4am. I don't think she gets to point fingers.

Thereby surrendering your anonymity and negating any reason to use the app over mainstream alternatives.

Simple answer to the question so far as I can see: in order to connect with someone, you have to video conference with them and show them a code. So the anonymity is only as anonymous as the video conference you use to do that. All of the benefits it claims are merely an illusion.

This is the best one. There's an in-app purchase to remove ads. You're just playing yourself for high score. Great time-waster.

Instagram Lite is an okay alternative to the bigger, main client and since it's official, it won't get you banned. It's not available in most markets, but sideloading from APKMirror works very well.
