Here's The Verge's article on the redesign launch: http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/21/4350208/how-sam-clay-and-n...

Little by little sure does add up. I've been working on the redesign for iOS, android, and both the web app and blurblogs (blurblog example: http://samuel.newsblur.com) for months now. But by committing every day it builds up. That's been the past four years now.

My favorite part of this whole business is the free insurance policy. If I were to get hit by a bus (or god forbid, decide to stop supporting NewsBlur), you or somebody with the necessary resources could have a copy up and running by taking advantage of NewsBlur's open-source repo: http://github.com/samuelclay
