But I love Zite! I have sections dedicated to different programming languages, general software development, birding. I hope they maintain some existence.

Hey all, I'm the CTO of Zite and can answer any questions.

Here is our announcement post: http://blog.zite.com/2014/03/05/zite-is-flipping-out/

Dang! I'm sure they'll discontinue it soon, seeing as how there's no point for both Zite and Flipboard to exist under the same company.

I stopped using Zite because it didn't allow you to read things offline, and I think they still haven't added that. But if mobile data isn't a concern for you, I like Zite's interface better than all the rest. It's just so...not gimmicky. (I use Taptu now, which is alright.)
