Helvetireader

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:01:02 +0000

Helvetireader is a minimal, anti-social theme for Google Reader which uses a hosted user stylesheet for Google Reader served via a user-script. It aims to make the interface a clean, minimal experience where you’re not assaulted by an array of colours, social features and buttons (using Shortcuts instead). It’s designed for people who just read the latest entries in expanded view without all the other gubbins.

Helvetireader has been developed by Jon Hicks.
