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 typography 1

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! If not, you can use Gobbler in your browser or as an installable Web app on your device.

  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. ↩

Gobbler — Early Access

I’m thinking about releasing a new web-based RSS reader and RSS aggregator called Gobbler. It’s available to test for the next month or so and you can sign up using this link. Everything is still in sandbox, so you won’t be charged for Stripe. All data will be removed at the end of March.

If you want to use Gobbler on mobile:

  • Reeder: Use Google Reader
  • NetNewsWire: Use FreshRSS
  • Current: Use FreshRSS
  • *or *just add it to your Home Screen from Safari
