One of the first start-ups that I participated in was an effort to create a better RSS reader. \u00a0It way back a few years, before Google Reader was even launched, and the best option you had was Bloglines, which in itself was horrible at the time. \u00a0One of the things that we were implementing was the support for comments in the blog posts and articles. \u00a0Even back then many blogging engines and content management systems (CMS) supported comment feeds. \u00a0Too bad the whole thing failed.<\/p>\n

But even with quite a few upgrades to Bloglines, and launch and redesign of Google Reader, and, in fact, launch and development of many other RSS readers, support for comments is still a rare feature to see. \u00a0Recently, I came across a web-based RSS reader that promoted comments as one of its primary features – \u00a0BazQux Reader<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I tried it and it seems to work fine. \u00a0However, it’s still too fresh for me to move all my RSS subscriptions over there. \u00a0Especially considering the fact that you can only have 15 RSS feeds in the free demo. \u00a0A full featured yearly subscription is about 25 Euro. \u00a0I don’t mind paying that for a tool that I use many hours a day. \u00a0But after using BazQux Reader for a bit, I don’t think it’s quite ready yet. \u00a0Maybe one day.<\/p>\n

P.S.: Oh, and if you were wondering what kind of a name is BazQux – it’s a combination of two metasyntactic variables<\/a> “baz<\/em>” and “qux<\/em>“. \u00a0Sort of like “foo<\/em>” and “bar<\/em>“. \u00a0You probably won’t get it unless you are software developer of some kind.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
