Lightweight and easy to use, Feedly is an RSS reader you should check out. Setup and NavigationThe Feedly entrance page has a minimalist, lime-green design that has the logos of various publications aligned on the bottom of the interface. Once you grant Feedly the right to access your Google account, it quickly loads your homepage. Note: the official Feedly blog has migration tips for a seamless transition before Google Reader's July 1, 2013 cutoff date. Adding new sources is dead simple.
