If you are looking for a Google Reader application for the N900, I recommend giving Grr by Jan Dumon a try, considering that it has just been released it is a little short on functionality such as starring a post, sharing it and so on but it works well if you are looking for a speedy way to simply browse your RSS feeds on the go. It is in the extras-devel repository (here’s how to easily enable it, the usual warnings apply).
- Once you enter your Google Reader username and password Grr immediately loads your subscribed feeds with an indicator showing the number of unread posts from each website.
- You can set it to display only those sites while have new content, force a refresh or log into a separate account.
- Here tapping on the arrow next to the website’s name you get an option to mark all items as read. A simple tap, opens the relevant post.
- Text is loaded immediately, while the images take a little time depending on the connection you are on.
- Here you have the option of keeping the post unread or opening it in the browser. I would have liked at option to star posts as well, but that will probably come in a future release.
Hat tip to @alextootchie for the find.
seems realy good this app!
I will give it a try.
thx for the post!
Awesome news, I’ve been waiting for an app like this.
thanks for the link, been looing for an easier way to use google reader
Most welcome guys!
This app is just what I need, but how can it be 15.3mb size? Does it have 3d and lasers and everything? :/ I hope it’s optified
This is, imho, how a good Twitter app might work as well… 😉
Does this mean I should abandon Bloglines, or will there be a version to support that as well? I would consider switching as long as I can read my feeds from mobile, office and home PC and they all are kept in synch…
That’s amazing. It gets a lot of things right for a 0.01 release, I wonder if there’s a talk.maemo.org thread/bugzilla for it, I’d like to suggest a couple things.
Also, @brank, the app itself is ~280kb, only it installs lots of new Qt libs (4.6.2 I think, the ones that’ll come with PR 1.2), so that’s why the big download size. And yes, afaik it is optified.
@Fernando, I’ve opened an account on the garage where you can add bugs/suggestions.
It’s available here: http://grr.garage.maemo.org
