Philosophy

RSS Guard tends to be independent software. It's free, it's open-source. RSS Guard will never depend on other services - this includes online news aggregators like Feedly, The Old Reader and others.

That's why RSS Guard will never integrate those services unless someone else codes support for them on his own. Remember, RSS Guard supports online synchronization via MySQL/MariaDB or you can use Dropbox to synchronize SQLite data storage.
