This looks like a really slick app - congratulations! I'm actually working on an RSS reader at the moment with a few similar philosophies (respecting privacy, lightweight design etc.). There's a lot of competition in the RSS reader space since the sad demise of Google Reader - how did you market the site and get your first users?

Thanks. Selling a web service to consumers in a market where the previous leader was free is tough. But, it's doable.

Shoot me an email (email in profile) if you want to talk specifics.
