David Smith has been working on a secret project, and with today’s Google Reader news, he decided to announce that it’s an RSS syncing service:

Today Google announced that they will be closing down Google Reader on July 1. Google Reader is their RSS aggregation/syncing platform. While this development doesn’t come as a real surprise its timing was a bit sooner than I had hoped. You see, I’ve been working on an alternative to Google Reader over the past few months. I had been working away on this hoping to launch around WWDC this June. Google’s move has bumped these plans up considerably.

Great news. Losing Google Reader is going to disrupt a lot of people’s RSS set-ups, but it’s also going to open the door to better services like this.
