Everytime I just wanted to se an RSS address for example I would be taken to sign in to Feedy. Now, I have uninstalled the add-on for FF and when trying to subscribe to a feed in Googe Reader I am back to getting Feedly messages. Aaaargh! I was using Feedly but felt it took over my computer.

I know that you have been a feedly advocate since the early days and I am sorry for the frustration. Feedly is still early in its dev process and out goal over the last 6 months has been to try to improve it a little bit every week. Most of these changes were steps forward, some of them were a step backward.Regarding the feedly patching mechanism, we published a detailed post about it here: http://blog.feedly.com/2009/02/28/feedly-versioning-and-upgrade/ It describes how it works and how it is evolving in version 2.0 and 2.5.Regarding the product roadmap and the changes, everything is done openly and in constant discussion with the feedly users. You can see our roadmap here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=po646v7UtHXsFgZYguD9TIg and you can see the active discussions we continuously have with our users here: http://getsatisfaction.com/feedly we try our best to respond to every user bug reports, questions in 12h/24h. We also actively monitor twitter and friendfeed and try to listen to users there as well. 80% of the changes we make to feedly over the last 6 months have been directly related one way or the other to feedback we received from users.Your point about regressions is well taken. As the product matures and there is less need for use to iterate and change, we will be focusing on making sure that there are fewer regressions (if you read the patch/upgrade document we describe in more detail that this is the direction we are heading in 2.5.Thank you for the help you provided us over the last 6 months and sorry we could not provide a stable enough experience but some of it is inherent to the open/iterative model we are using to build feedly and although ideally software should be perfect from the get go, my experience is that building good software starts with a process that is a little more messy than that. I hope that you will give us another chance in 3-6 months when we have matured to a more stable stage.Edwin feedly co-founder, @edwk Hi Keith.
