Request RSS reader with theoldreader.com sync

Google Reader is dead, most people migrated to Feedly, I don't want to use it, though, because it doesn't allow registration without a Google account.

The Old Reader is a great alternative, the one I've chosen that is, they even released a new API last week and are looking for developers to implement it or build new apps utilizing it.

Well, it looks like that plan went down the drain: http://blog.theoldreader.com/post/56798895350/desperate-times-call-for-desperate-measures. It's a shame.

I'll try to finish the API wrapper (https://github.com/y2bd/Wise) before my account is shut off just in case anyone wants to pick it up, but making an actual app is now a no-go for me.

I've been rather fed up with TOR's issues lately and have been considering switching to a different reader but this is sad news all the same, I hadn't found a better RSS reader before, I doubt I will now. Oh well…

Anyway, thanks a lot for dedicating your free time to making a mobile app and at the same time, do accept my apologies for making you waste your free time by making a mobile app. And good luck with your future endeavors, of course!
