This tool is to fill a specific need to reproduce the Google Reader RSS feed functionality so it can be used with publishing tools like dlvr.it which was broken when Google switched to the G+ method of sharing.
This tool is a fork of https://github.com/frosas/google-plus-user-feed which is a node.js based application to create a RSS feed of all your public G+ posts
I created another URL path that will just return items that are posted by Google Reader. The one nice thing with with the G+ json result is that it has a lot of metadata to include the provider who posted the item to your G+ feed. The new url is http://[server:port]/googlereader/[G+ profile id]
