Simplify GR 1.0 Released
Today I have made public my first Safari 5 extension: Simplify GR.
My goal in putting this together was inspired by my use of Reeder on iOS. Reeder is an iOS app for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. It syncs with a Google Reader account and lets you read your articles in a very elegant manner. After using Reeder for a couple of months I always found using the regular web interface for Google Reader a little cumbersome. Having to open some articles in separate tabs in my browser seemed unnecessary and time-consuming. I also appreciated Reeder’s ability to use services like Instapaper to show only the text and images in the actual article (not all the menus, ads, etc. that go along with a web page).
The end result of all of this is Simplify GR. A small, easy to use extension that makes using Google Reader a more enjoyable experience.
Give it a try and share your comments. (Please post bug reports and feature requests on the actual Simplify GR page. Thanks!)
