I missed Google Reader so much that I built my own clone. It’s far from perfect, but I'm dedicated to keeping it alive.

Hi everyone,

Like many of you, I never really got over the shutdown of Google Reader. It was, in my opinion, the golden era of consuming the web. After trying countless modern alternatives, I realized what I actually wanted was just that classic, clean, and no-nonsense vibe.

So, I decided to build my own Google Reader clone: https://reader.weekim.com

A little disclaimer: I am primarily a backend engineer, so my frontend skills are a bit rusty. You might encounter some minor UI quirks or rough edges here and there. However, the core syncing and data processing are solid, and I am fully committed to maintaining and improving this project for the long haul.

Features so far:

  • Classic, nostalgic Google Reader-inspired layout.
  • Clean, distraction-free reading experience.
  • See what other readers are recommending.

Thank you for checking it out!
