Good old Java! Though I personally would never want what is suppose to be a slim low memory footprint application (reading text) to be ran by Java. But that's more of a personal objection, and has nothing to do with the actual product.

But where does the feeds reside, local or remote?

The feeds are remotely synchronized on the server, so you will see the same since whatever your client is (mobile or desktop)

Okay interesting. But it currently doesn't seem to have all the bells and whistles for a local or a web client. Something tells me my memory usage will shot up if I attempt to import thousands of feeds into it. Besides, the fetching doesn't appear to be near the real-time (HN rss it pulled in for me, were at least an hour or more delayed).

Anyways, my installation on the windows went well. For now I'm back to testing InoReader.
