Links not opening properly

We are aware that some links are not opening properly in the external window. This works on mobile safari, but has some problem within the iOS app. This will be fixed in the next update. We are trying to fix this comprehensively, so it never happens in any situation.

External links not opening in ios app

Weird! - it works fine in the regular browser. I will fix this ASAP.

- This issue has been fixed as of now.

So Google Reader is dying?

Just so you guys know, todayamerican.com is a genuine alternative to Google Reader without the hassle of manually adding RSS feeds.

For any tech news, you can simply register with us. You can read your news directly from the home page or take your feed URL from the home page and use that in any RSS feed reader.

Lot of people crying online when Google Reader death was announced. I think it is stupid they built products solely and totally running on top of Google Reader and requiring the login.

We keep track of read articles too, we present a unified news feed ranked by popularity. We are the next generation of news reader!

Single signon available now

Got single sign on working with my site with real SSL certificate - google, Facebook, yahoo and Microsoft.

Please note if you update to v2.5 of our iOS app, do not use this single-sign on because there is a bug. Please wait for v2.5.1 before using it - we have already fixed it and submitted it.

Why we built todayamerican.com

I created this application because I read a lot of tech news and I was not happy with any of the news apps out there. This is because most news apps either publish some news, or it is an RSS feed reader where you manage what you read manually. 

This app may not have the best eye candy, but it will get you the best news without your having to go and search for it. Everything is ranked by popularity from social networks like Facebook and Twitter. You don't have to search for good news, we do the work for you. We bring together news from all the major tech news sites in a unified way. 

If you register, login and use your personal news URL, you can mark articles as read, and we will never show you read articles again. So, you always have fresh news on your page, unlike your having to go to different sites and refresh the page and wait for new articles to come through. 

In addition there are several other features: 

1. Complete full screen reading without any menus. 

2. You can continue reading on your desktop, what you started reading on the iPhone. 

4. No Ads! 

5. The quality of the tech news articles you see right away. 

6. Our pages load faster sometimes than the links we show you. Many times you will observe, we are faster than other tech blogs. 

I continuously update the service all the time, so as long as there are people who buy the app, there will always be service. I have built this app and hosted it since 2006. I use it daily, so I know the pain points more than anyone else.

Massive updates rolling out today!

Around midnight today, massive site updates will roll out significantly improving the performance of user login and improves the user home page as well.

In addition in the past few days, we have started using metricshub as soon as it became free. This means our service will automatically scale when load increases. This should provide a good experience for the end user on any amount of load.

We plan to release an update to our iOS app very soon, and iterations will continue...

Thanks for using our service!
