Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Thanks, that's a nice workaround. Does it have some downside like longer loading time while trying to fetch 'empty' feeds?

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Not really any downside to it. It will take a bit more time to update all feeds, but the difference would be measured in fraction of seconds, so hardly noticeable. The app itself would not be affected in loading time. The look of it is most affected, with a bunch of not-so-nice-looking empty items in the feed list :-).

Tested it and this trick works quite fine. There is a little error in resizing the widget when deleting an entry. The widget stays same size but the content is downsized by one line. I guess a restart of the widget would fix that but there seems to be some inconsitency in size calculation.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Not that I've spent a whole lot of time on it, but I've never found a way to downsize a widget. It grows very easily, but you can't shrink it back down (except by restarting hildon-desktop, or removing/readding it).

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

Strange, but I can live with that. It's not that often that I delete an entry, just stumbled upon it because saved feed entries generates his own line in feedlist and then the widget was one line too long ;)

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this....

I have the general BBC News feed among me feeds, and the BBC feed seems to have lots and lots of duplicates listed. I suspect this is because the BBC updates it's stories in some way, but my other feed readers on my PC (Firefox live bookmarks and Thunderbird RSS feeds) don't seem to get the duplicates.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 

mr_jrt, if they change the title or the publication date when they update, you'll get the duplicate articles. This is changed in the current dev version, so that should cut out the number of duplicates once it's ready for release.

FYI, beta 2 release of the QML interface, with a couple screenshots, and video. I will probably push it to Extras-devel in a few days.

If anyone is interested in some design work for the icons in the toolbar (and/or the overall look of the app, such as making mock-ups), please let me know!

Wanted to say some time now..

I have been using your application daily for several weeks now - it is amazing..

In my opinion, it is in the top 10 of the available application in slickness and execution.

Thanks.

@slocan: firstly, I second Saturn's comments, FeedingIt looks to become at the centre of my n900 use. Only gripe was the duplicate issue.

I use FeedingIt as a standalone app. The beta works from the desktop widget but fired up from the icon it presents "default category" that leads to a blank screen. How do I get my feeds up an visible in standalone mode?

Tnx
