Any plans to support the Google Reader API ?

[martinraison]

I just discovered Stringer, thanks for the great work ! Are there any plans to support the Google Reader API ? Although it has always been unofficial, it is well supported by RSS readers. The feature I'm specifically looking for is subscription editing (which is not supported by the Fever API as far as I know).

I'm using Reeder 4 and that would make the integration really smooth.

Right now I have:

Hey @martinraison I don't think anyone is currently developing new features. I'm available to review code and merge it if you want to submit a patch.

Great, thanks for the reply. I can't guarantee I'll be able to find any time to do this, but at least it's good to know no one else is working on it.

Just a note, implementing the API would also make your app available for RSS Guard

@mockdeep would it be okay if I try to create a PR for this? My reeder app has deprecated the fever api. It still works, but the developer of that software prefers the google reader api

@bitboxer please do! I haven't had a chance to look into it, but would love to have it implemented.
