Feed Description: Using Java to get to the ideal state.
As a heavy RSS user, I care a lot about Feedly. So, when they announced that they'd gotten 50,000 paid subscribers, I threw together some quick math:
Feedly growth from 2013 to 2015
This isn't a perfect comparision because the terms of subscriptions are different. The first 5,000 subscribers came from a Kickstarter selling a lifetime subscription for $99 (I was lucky enough to get in on that). The next batch - 45,000, I presume - are paying $45/year.
Still, there's some cash. Hopefully it's eough to keep it going. I actually just use Feedly for a backend as I do most of my reading in Newsify. What I'd really like is Flipboard to work with Feedly. But, you know, this isn't the mid-2000s when things like that would happen.
