Ask HN: I'm building (yet another) RSS Reader – should I quit or give it a try?

Sure why not? I could always use another one for testing purposes. Although I have a feeling that based on the design, it won't work for me.

There&#x27;s an open-source reader called Monocle already, that&#x27;s an unlucky naming collision (although somewhat expected if using normal language nouns): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aaronpk&#x2F;Monocle" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aaronpk&#x2F;Monocle</a><p>As a happy user of Inoreader, my main question about &quot;yet another&quot; would be: What can you offer that the established players don&#x27;t have? Growth is probably fairly slow for traditional feed readers, since people likely either don&#x27;t care or already have chosen one that works for them. E.g. the open source project linked above is part of an attempt to get social network style features into a reader: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aaronparecki.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;03&#x2F;12&#x2F;17&#x2F;building-an-indieweb-reader" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aaronparecki.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;03&#x2F;12&#x2F;17&#x2F;building-an-indieweb-...</a>, and thus has a clear answer for &quot;why not one of the ones that has been around for years&quot;, even if many users of feed readers aren&#x27;t necessarily interested in that.

I hope that material design is temporary...
