Dead FeedDemon - a worthy replacement for Google Reader

I know that more than one such topic went to the trash bin, but here we will talk about the offline program. Every day, after brushing my teeth, of course, I start my morning with watching the news in Google Reader. By the nature of my employment, I accumulate about 1000 news per day, and I just cannot imagine my life without such a useful technology as RSS.

The news of the closure of the service shocked me, and I actively tried, like everyone else, to find a worthy alternative, but all the options that were offered to me did not work for several reasons. And then I remembered FeedDemon, which I actively used about 3 years ago, after reading about it in Habré , I don’t even remember the reason for rejecting the program ...

The last FeedDemon 4.1 , has not changed at all for many years, apparently the author abandoned it for quite some time. However, I did not find any cons in it, except for the default opening news function in the background of the browser, although I indicated this in the settings. Perhaps it was the chrome or windows 8 that was to blame, with other configurations, I think it will work correctly in most cases.

From the advantages of FeedDemon, this is the preloading of pictures when opening immediately 50,100, etc. records that for news with 20 high-res pictures, which the author of the news kindly didn’t hide under the cat, I think it's just a killer of features; For the paid version, download all the news available to read them offline.

After the announcement of the closure of Google Reader, the author of the program Nick Bradbury, published an entry in his blog: The End of FeedDemon . Why did he draw such strange conclusions for himself? In his place, I would use the opening opportunities ...

To pay $ 19.95 for a program that its owner throws I would not recommend. It is not necessary to download a pirated version, since the free version is practically no different from the paid one. On the other hand, an active surge in purchases may be of interest to the developer in the resumption of support for the program.

For comfortable work with the program:
1. We connect synchronization with Google Reader. After synchronization of all streams, we delete the connection with Google Reader, the program will load the data of all channels (I had about 13000 entries), so feel free to click on the red button, and everything that you didn’t finish reading Google Reader.
2. We exhibit a full description instead of small previews of pictures, although to whom it is convenient.
3. We put localization at will.

Is it time to use the resources of your computer, so that once again not to burden Google? I have already made my choice, regardless of whether the corporation closes its good service or not, I will start using FeedDemon now, without waiting for the expiration of the generously provided 3 months.
