During a 3 month period we rewrote and redesigned the Chrome extension completely. After a year, we had enough savings to try working on feeder full-time in our parents' spare room. In 2011 my brother and I graduated high school and decided to do the whole freelancing thing. I missed having an RSS feature in my browser, so I began working on feeder in my spare time during a summer internship at a Swedish software company. It began in 2010 when I first moved from Firefox to Chrome. Besides our users being tech savvies like us, we get a lot of marketers, lawyers, and businesses as customers for whom fast updates are crucial. Our default is still insanely fast compared to others: 10 minutes. One much-appreciated feature is that you can set updates as fast as 1 minute. Our competitive edge is that we always try to do things in a simple way. We have a Chrome extension, an iOS app, a web app, and soon also an Android app. Johan does design, Mattias is focused on user experience, and I'm the programmer - I keep everything up and running.įeeder allows people to follow RSS and Atom feeds and get notified in different ways. Hello! My name is Erik Rothoff, and I work together with Johan (my twin brother) and Mattias on an RSS feed reader called feeder.
