Faster and More Independent

March 24, 2013 · Mustapha Hamoui

Here’s a little secret: When Lebaneseblogs.com first launched, the website depended on Google Reader’s backend to fetch new posts. At the time this felt like the most efficient way to do things, until Google decided to kill Reader that is..

But with crisis comes opportunity. In the last few days, this website was rewritten from scratch to become independent of Google. This morning, the work was done and LebaneseBlogs not only became more independent, but much faster to load (A surprising and welcome outcome of removing Reader out of the equation). Check it out!

Thank you for reading..
