In reply to Radical Speed Month — The Reader Meets the Fediverse by 
Two weeks into Automattic's Radical Speed Month, the WordPress.com Reader has grown a Mastodon tab, a Bluesky tab, and a Google Reader-compatible API. Here's what shipped, what's still to come, and how it connects back to the ActivityPub plugin.
Another exciting project from Radical Speed Month! Jeremy Herve and Matthias Pfefferle are working on the WordPress Reader feed aggregator.
The first thing mentioned is something I'm very excited about. They are adding the Google Reader API so you can use third-party reader apps to view your subscriptions. I use NetNewsWire with FreshRSS as the backend sync system. This means I'll be able to add WordPress Reader to NetNewsReader as an additional source.
I'm not going to recap everything in the post, but I'd recommend you check it out. :-) #WordPress
