You outlined the most important point: using OAUTH instead of a user/password authentication (because no one would be happy to provide his gmail credentials to an uknown web site).
I also have to evaluate how much it would cost me to host the website and if advertisment will be enough to cover my expenses.

Would you have any interest in participating to such a project ?
Depends on the participation If you want to integrate it into G:RSS-Web, sure, but unfortunately I'm not up for working on a completely independent project simply because of time.

As an FYI, it is unlikely advertising costs are going to pay you much. I'm actually a digital marketer by trade, and run ads from multiple providers on my site and static gif ads (discrete) served to the Kindle, and while hosting these days is cheap, without daily content updates of original content, or revisits for product usage, you'll never pay yourself back.

G:RSS-Web is hosted in the cloud with redundancy on the nowsci.com servers through Amazon.com, and ads across all my content/sites/mobile apps about pays the fees.

Thanks,
B.
