For the last couple of weeks I’ve been working on a Google Reader web app for the Kindle. I love my Kindle and I use it for reading wikipedia and blog posts too. Lately I was using it to read Google Reader but the interface, aimed for desktop computers, was hard to use with the Kindle.

So, as a pet project, I started to code a new web app that could access the Unofficial Google Reader API and present the subscriptions and entries in a more pleasant way.

Today Google announced it will discontinue Google Reader on 1st July. Kandy is still very basic but it’s functional. There were things I wanted to polish and I got some other ideas in mind, but with today’s news I don’t feel like investing more time on this app.

You can check Kandy online here: http://kandy.herokuapp.com (better access from your Kindle :)). The code is available at github: https://github.com/dpino/Kandy

Enjoy it while you can :).
