Re: [FRIAM] Alternative to Google Reader

[Russ Abbott]

I liked the look and feel of the Galaxy app, but I was unable to find one
for Windows.

As I said, the Chrome extension is really quite pretty. Much nicer than
Google Reader. I expect that I'll be happy with it. I just wish I could
make the font darker. (Tom, I don't have a problem with
font readability anywhere else.)

Re: [FRIAM] Alternative to Google Reader

[Owen Densmore]

Agree w/ Russ.  I found it quite confusing and really have no idea whether
or not I've got it right.  I tried just using their site, presuming there'd
be a "webapp" like Google had.

I couldn't find one so I enabled the chrome extension.  That brought up a
page that looked promising.  There is a help page for getting to a look
like GR.

Re: [FRIAM] Alternative to Google Reader

[Russ Abbott]

Thanks, Tom,

This is related to one of my complaints. I see no way to ask Feedly (on
Chrome) to upgrade itself. I went to the list of Chrome extensions, which
has a link to the Feedly website. (When I run Feedly, I don't see a link to
the Feedly website from the tab in which it is running.) On the website, a
button lets me "launch Feedly." When I do it looks the same as always. The
text color is grey, and I can find no way to make it darker. Am I missing
something?

Re: [FRIAM] Alternative to Google Reader

[Russ Abbott]

It's really very pretty. I've been using it both on Chrome and Galaxy S3.
The problem I have with it on chrome is that the text is mainly in grey,
and there seems to be no way to make it darker. Also, it's a bit confusing
how to adjust the settings as you want them. Finally, there is Help and a
Forum, but it's not easy to find.  All-in-all, though, I'm using it because
I haven't found anything better. And as I said, it is really pretty.

Are you using it as a chrome extension or webapp?  Or is it separate from
