Similar applications can be achieved by data vendors such as Dataminr, Semantic Visions, Raven Pack, Signal AI, and more.
History
DevHD's first project was Streets. It aggregates updates from a variety of online sources and is the basis of Feedly. Originally called Feeddo, Feedly was first released as a web extension before moving onto mobile platforms.{{cite web|url=http://blog.feedly.com/2008/06/02/feedly-it-is/|title=Feedly it is|last=Khodabakchian|first=Edwin|access-date=6 February 2012|archive-date=10 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141110063328/http://blog.feedly.com/2008/06/02/feedly-it-is/|url-status=dead}}
On March 15, 2013, Feedly announced 500,000 new users in 48 hours due to the closure announcement of Google Reader.{{cite web|url=http://blog.feedly.com/2013/03/15/priorities-keeping-the-site-up-and-adding-new-features/|title=Priorities: Keeping the site up, listening and adding new features|last=Khodabakchian|first=Edwin|access-date=2 April 2013|archive-date=24 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130724141928/http://blog.feedly.com/2013/03/15/priorities-keeping-the-site-up-and-adding-new-features/|url-status=dead}} By April 2, 2013, the total number of new users was up to 3 million.{{cite web|url=http://blog.feedly.com/2013/04/02/announcing-the-new-feedly-mobile-and-welcoming-3-million-reader-refugees/|title=Announcing the New Feedly Mobile|last=Khodabakchian|first=Edwin|access-date=2 April 2013|archive-date=12 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150612124540/http://blog.feedly.com/2013/04/02/announcing-the-new-feedly-mobile-and-welcoming-3-million-reader-refugees/|url-status=dead}} At the end of May 2013, the total user number was up to 12 million.{{cite web|url=https://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/06/19/feedly-launches-standalone-web-version-for-all-users-offers-a-one-click-migration-path-from-google-reader/|title=Passing 12M users, Feedly launches cloud platform and Web version with one-click migration from Google Reader|last=Protalinski|first=Emil|date=19 June 2013|access-date=19 June 2013}} In 2018, Feedly had 14 million registered users.{{Cite magazine |last=Barrett |first=Brian |title=It's Time For an RSS Revival |url=https://www.wired.com/story/rss-readers-feedly-inoreader-old-reader/ |access-date=2024-04-03 |magazine=Wired |language=en-US |issn=1059-1028}}

On June 11–13, 2014, Feedly suffered denial-of-service attacks that prevented users from accessing their information. The attackers demanded ransom from Feedly, which the company refused to pay.{{Cite web |last=McGregor |first=Jay |date=June 11, 2014 |title=Feedly And Evernote Go Down As Attackers Demand Ransom |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/jaymcgregor/2014/06/11/feedly-and-evernote-go-down-as-attackers-demand-ransom/ |access-date=June 11, 2014 |website=Forbes}}{{Cite web |last=Page |first=Carly |date=June 13, 2014 |title=Feedly hits third day of downtime as DDoS attacks continue |url=http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2349403/evernote-and-deezer-fess-up-to-ddos-attacks |url-status=unfit |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402101755/http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2349403/evernote-and-deezer-fess-up-to-ddos-attacks |archive-date=2015-04-02 |access-date=June 13, 2014}}{{Cite web |title=Feedly availability graph |url=http://www.currentlydown.com/feedly.com#chart-2014-06-11 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150407133642/http://www.currentlydown.com/feedly.com#chart-2014-06-11 |archive-date=2015-04-07 |access-date=2014-07-01}}
Mobile app
The Feedly mobile application is available for Android and iOS devices.{{cite web|url=http://gigaom.com/apple/feedly-update-makes-cross-platform-feed-reading-awesome/|title=Feedly Update Makes Cross-Platform Feed Reading Awesome|last=Etherington|first=Darrell|date=3 April 2008|access-date=7 February 2012|archive-date=6 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121106050308/http://gigaom.com/apple/feedly-update-makes-cross-platform-feed-reading-awesome/|url-status=dead}} All versions of the app run on Streets (DevHD's other project), which allows for the application to run on the same code for all devices. Like its web counterpart, the mobile application's interface imitates a magazine spread. However, unlike the browser extension, the Feedly app cannot load an entire article. Instead, it will present a summary and a link to the actual article.{{cite web|url=http://chromebookratings.com/2011/app-reviews/feedly-stylish-news-reader-chromebook|title=Feedly: Magazine-Style News-Reader|author=Persephone|access-date=6 February 2012}} The Feedly app does not support offline mode but third-party apps offer the service.
