Feedly is a freemium news aggregator application for web browsers and mobile devices running Android and iOS. It is also available as a cloud-based service. It compiles news feeds from a variety of online sources for the user to customize and share with others. Feedly was first released by DevHD in 2008.
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.
On March 15, 2013, Feedly announced 500,000 new users in 48 hours due to the closure announcement of Google Reader. By April 2, 2013, the total number of new users was up to 3 million. At the end of May 2013, the total user number was up to 12 million. In 2018, Feedly had 14 million registered users.
Denial-of-service attacks
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.
Mobile app
The Feedly mobile application is available for Android and iOS devices. 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. The Feedly app does not support offline mode but third-party apps offer the service.
