Catching up on WordPress.com Reader news, interesting that they based sync on Google Reader:

Any Google Reader-compatible app can now point at WordPress.com and use it as a sync backend. […] This wasn’t directly Fediverse work, but it’s part of the same idea: the Reader as a backend, not a destination. If your reading habit lives in a different app, that’s fine. Your subscriptions still live on WordPress.com.

When I bulit the API for Inkwell, I decided to pattern it after Feedbin’s API instead of Google Reader. Just seemed right.
