FeedReader

The RSS feedreader is now in a usable state and fun to use and it is very fast.

• it caches the feeds for offline reading
• you can add your own feeds
• if you are online the feedreader will show pictures too
• it comes preconfigured with some interesting OSS feeds

Quirks

• links are not clickable thus only feeds that have the full content are useful
• start up takes ~15secs
• to delete feeds you currently need to use gconf-editor

Prerequisites

• install libwebkit-1.0-1, libmrss0
• set dpi for the X server, to something sensible, i.e. ~150

Click on an item in the list (3) and the item will be shown.

Feed Configuration

You can add your own feeds. To delete or reorder feeds you currently need to use gconf-editor.
