Archive for the ‘QuickRSS’ Category
As I’m posting this QuickRSS has 27 Diggs, with 7 hours left to stay on the upcoming stories list. If all goes well it will make the front page soon :). My new host has assured me it can easily handle the Digg effect, so I’m not too worrried. Some upcoming features of QuickRSS are:
- Digg support. If it’s a Digg feed you will see the familiar inerface that you see in Digg. There will be options to comment, bury or Digg the story.
- OPML support. I know this is a needed feature, but I’ve been really busy lately, and will try to add it as soon as I can.
- A feature to notify you of upcoming news. A small box similiar to the MSN/YIM messages that pop up telling you when someone is online will tell you when new feeds are ready for reading.
If you have any suggestions you can always contact me. If you’d like to donate to the project see this page. Of course there is always irc @ irc.quickrss.net #Main. Check back in a few weeks for the new features or grab an rss feed.
Ouch..didn’t even make it. 44 Diggs with tons of top Digg users, oh well =(.
Well that was going to be the name of the RSS feeder, I’ve coded but now I’m not so sure. myrss.com is taken as is myrss.net. And upon googleing myrss there is already a SourceForge project named that. So I was trying to think of names to name it when Bawked recommended quickRSS. The .net version of it is avalible so that’s what I’m using so far. Anyways I took some movies of my screen of me using the RSS feeder, one for dial-up and one for broadband. I’m not going to release the binary just yet, because I’m still working out some bugs. When I release the project, donations would be awesome. Rui and I have spent tons of time coding this. Hosting and a domain isn’t free either :\. The dial-up version can be downloaded here (~5 Megabytes), and the broadband version can be downloaded here (~12 Megabytes). Note this server honestly sucks but I have no money to pay for better hosting. So please give the movies time to load. The dial-up one takes around 30 seconds while the broadband one takes around a minute. Leave any comments if you have suggestions for the feeder, or name suggestions.
EDIT: QuickRSS.net has been bought. Also the video will load instantly for broadband users as I have new hosting. (6 mbit download speed on my end and it takes about a second to load) Server is on a 1 gig line so enjoy =)
