Hacker News Reader

Comment by donretag | Hacker News Reader

An RSS reader without synchronization is not a Google Reader replacement.

My initial thought was a portable version of this could be useful... I don't use thunderbird much these days, but for several years had my tbird profile symlinked to a dropbox directory. The only irritation was the notices from dropbox if I accidentally left tbird open at another location.

I imagine the same or similar could work here too.

Good thing it's on github. I'm sure pull requests are welcome :P

Of course they are :)

According to this comment:

feeds are synced by the server

Someone suggested using TinyTinyRSS + Liferea.

I wasn't able to get Liferea to work with TTRSS, and I really tried :-/. Therefor I wrote one myself but it has only the possibility to show posts, no list or anything because I never used that http://jabs.nu/feedthemonkey I assume most of the people will not be comfortable with it.

Interesting. Did you try to write a mobile client for Nemo or Sailfish as well?

No not really, actually I didn't even know wat Nemo or Sailfish was before you posted it and I searched for it.

They are Qt centric, so I thought you've heard of them, since you work on Qt based client.

Is the web client in TTRSS that terrible?

I deployed TTRSS to Azure pretty easily, although auto-refreshing the feeds is harder to figure out. The Web UI seemed good enough. Not as easy as Google Reader but serviceable.

I don't like web clients in general.
