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.

    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.
