Update (2014-08-26): Project has been discontinued because I finally found a free and perfect for all my needs rss aggregator and google reader alternative: inoreader
Update (2015-02-26): It seems that my alternative is going adware. This project might yet be revived...
Update (2015-10-07): The alternative seems good and cheap enough for my needs. Due to the lack of free time this is now discontinued.
Update (2019-01-01): The best alternative is miniflux.

- Tiny Tiny RSS - extremely powerful, but huge and slow
- Selfoss - pretty powerful, but still a bit too large and too slow (at least for me)
