Introducing Gobbler

One of my side projects, Gobbler, made it out of the oven just over a week ago. It’s a web-based RSS reader that offers a Google Reader-compatible API and even more functionality via a REST API to third-party clients.

Gobbler builds on the traditional RSS reader functionality (Feeds, Feed-level management, and Starred articles) with:

  • Lists, for organising articles
  • Annotations, for highlighting text within articles
  • Markdown export, for saving and viewing articles in other applications
  • Newsletter support
  • Custom typography1

Gobbler has a 14-day free trial and then it’s just $5/month. If you use NetNewsWire, Current, or Reeder (Classic), Gobbler already works!


  1. I spent a long time selecting which font to use for the sans serif. In the end it was a tie between Die Grotesk and Geograph, both from Klim, and Geograph won.
