So crisp and clean!

I have been a Google Reader for a good while now and I think it is a very fine web appli­ca­tion. It does what I expect it to do and it does it well. It is util­i­tar­ian. It is use­ful. I use it daily.

But now, I find it even more enjoy­able to use. Two grease­mon­key scripts have turned my stan­dard Reader inter­face into some­thing beau­ti­ful and even more use­able (imho).

Behold:

Fav­i­cons for Google Reader

There are even instruc­tions for using the scripts with Fluid. If you are not famil­iar with Fluid, it is a util­ity for cre­at­ing site-specific browsers based on Safari (WebKit). Get famil­iar. You'll like it.

So go, make your Reader pret­tier (and sub­scribe to this blog's feed).
