@Copernicus,

I had completely forgotten about Linguine and I now realized that a long time ago you even implemented The Old Reader!

I apologize for now having noticed it, and I THANK YOU for having done this. I have just installed 0.4.0 and will test it immediately!

Well, I have to admit that I have not been testing it much myself, so please do expect that there will need to be quite a bit of improvements needed before it becomes a really usable RSS reader.

Also, there's a version 0.4.2 going up now, to fix an item I missed in version 0.4.1.

And let me go ahead and add a screenshot of the new widget layout:

Well I can't seem to make it work

It asks me for e-mail and password, but then AFAIK tries to authenticate using google authenticator (which wouldn't need the password). I tried with username and password but the same happens.

I see "All items" but when I tap on it nothing happens.

Unfortunately I have no time to debug today, but I'll have a look when I can.
Cheers and thanks again!

With regards to offline, would it not be easier to just cache headlines when they are updated. When app is opened when offline, just show a notification that connection is needed to update and then just present the cached info.

@Copernicus

Maybe this could help:

mmm just headers for offline ?
Cant it be header + content like one can download latest 70 news articles and read them later and images upon request even better idea long click anywhere select save for offline reading also needed would be font adjustments background colour selection maybe and alittle sane formatting i.e double click to zoom fit .
You know better

and

I can do that; but would that really be useful? I guess I'm still thinking of Linguine as mainly a way to get the latest news... I suppose I could try to store data for later use (although I would imagine I'd only want to do that with text data; I don't really think Linguine should be trying to manage huge media files).

(BTW, is there a good example for me to look at here? I guess I should probably study some existing RSS readers a bit more, if Linguine should move in that direction...)

@xes: Thanks! I see that the policy in that second link is pretty much to have the app close itself if the net is not available. That's along the lines of what I was thinking; but I guess I'll first see if I can come up with a decent mechanism to cache some data...

Drat, same here. I was able to authenticate just fine a couple of months ago, but I'm not really a TOR user, so I just haven't really been using it. Let me dig into it again and see what is going on...

For someone reading foreign language news, Linguine has one big advantage over the built-in rss reader: the convenient copy-paste function. I am using this together with QStarDict to read several languages.

For the author of the app: how about adding Tagesschau video clips? You can find the links here:

Another good rss feed would be NHK news in Japanese:

Let me add those in! I've been letting Linguine languish for a while now; I really do need to get some more work done on it.

BTW, if you can't wait for me, and don't mind getting your hands dirty with some XML code, you can create a Linguine xml file yourself and load it into the app. For these two items, the syntax would be something like this:

EDIT: You can find a complete Linguine xml file here:
