Geek Reader

This is yet another online feed reader. http://reader.derekzeng.me/ The unique thing about Geek Reader is that its functions are designed towards geeky readers.

Geek Reader

Here I name a few:

Custom Stylesheets

User can set and edit stylesheet for each feed source. This can greatly improve the reading experience.

Secondary Fetching

It support secondary fetching. For sites like Hacker News, the feed source doesn't supply any meaningful text content. Geek Reader will fetch it from the given link and merge it with the feed.

Code highlighting

Hightlight.js is used to highlight source code. Users can choose the color scheme for rendering.

Shortcut keys

Custom Feed Builder
