I have been using Reader for several months. It has escalated my reading productivity far more than a cappuccino. If you have been lost in Pocket quicksand or RSS overwhelm, Reader uncloaks pieces that merit time and attention. Reading them is a joy and they are tied in with spaced repetition to integrate highlights into my ongoing life.

Not reading for utility. Not reading to perform for others. Reading for curiosity, joy, and discovery.

Aargh! Twitter bought Nuzzel and shut it down. Recommendations for a replacement?
