Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

I'll have some settings for these things. But i quickly have to redesign the settings box, it will be too long (or maybe it's ok if the dialg is very long ?)

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

There are many long, scrolling settings dialogs,even in Nokia's own software, so I guess it should be OK :-)

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

Background colours:
Yup, much nicer that way ! I'm not sure about the blue vertical lines to the left of the Feeds lists, though : are those by design, or side effects ?

Icons on the first two screens (Feeds & Posts) :
The first Feeds screen has rather short strings (site names mostly), so there definitely is room for icons on the right, grr-style : Sync, Rotate, All/Unread and Settings would be really useful here.

I agree the second one (posts) could be left alone, even though the titles could wrap to multi-line.

Yesss ! Great !

Hmm, OK... I'll remind you :-)

Scrolling title :
What a relief, thanks Mavit ! :)

Fading title :
Make option in settings, # of seconds, 0=fixed ?...

Feed name in View Post mode:
I don't see anything new in post view ?

"the Fred mode"
I still think it's a good one :-)

Font size:
Good, I'm not alone :-)

Navigation in portait mode:
Well... that was more or less what I was thinking of when I said "a few buttons for the basics"... so that's the basics taken care of, and I agree that portait mode is now usable :-)

Good job once again !

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

Lots of little stuff tonight.

Here is a quick explanation of each commit :

• "optimizations in libgreader" : less memory used
• "keep original origin title/url and use it when needed" : typically when items are not in our feeds (friends, notes...)
• "resolve bug where notes were not displayed" : now you can see your notes (items added outside feeds in google reader)
• "align item title to top when height too big for the line" : some items with too long titles were unreadable
• "select first entry in each list after focus gained" : yesterday i added focus to the list but now it works better : first item is always selected when opening the window
• "use u to toggle unread-only status in items list (and shift-M is now an equivalent to the ****-A, to mark all items as read)" : nothing else to say. I did that because it's hard to do "shift-A" on the n900
• "add keyboard shortcuts in items list for toggle read/unread status ("m"), starred status ("s") an shared status ("shift-s"). It s the same shortcuts as in the item view" : yeah now keyboard shortcuts in the items list !!!
• "allow keyboard navigation in the internal browser" : keyboard here to : arrows, space, shift-space, ctrl-arrows
• "in feeds/categories list, use "shift-s" to sync and "backspace" to close an opened category" : other usefull shortcuts

Now time to go to sleep :)

PS : fpp : the little blue line (or whatever color, depending of the n900 theme) on the left side is for viewing unread categories/feeds/items

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

Yay, fantastic ! And no need for icons anymore, at least in landscape mode... nice escape :-)

Ah, right. I didn't get it because I'm always in "unread" mode... still feels a bit redundant, though.

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

(after testing)

Wel, it's officially official now... I hereby declare GRead the best Google Reader client on the N900, heaps above any grr version out there :-)

Browsing feeds & posts is a pleasure in landscape mode with the keyboard, and at least usable in portait.

At some point I thought "but why not add an 'o' (orientation) shortcut to toggle landscape/portait ?"... then realized what a stupid idea that was :-)

But here's another : maybe extend your "furtive" buttons system in view mode, adding, say, a circle in the middle between the arrows, that would swap orientations ?

Oh, and it's still missing "Fred mode", of course... but everyone needs to sleep, right ? :-)
(I'd try to add it myself, but then I'd have to redo it every day !)

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

I won't be able to work on the application for some days (little trip to Strasbourg) but next week i'll add a context menu on every screen !

Stay tuned (and thanks for the "best google reader application", it's what i think too :D:D )

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

I heartily agree. Thanks Twidi for a great application.

The only two features that are still on my own wish list are:
- offline mode
- accelerometer-based orientation

Keep up the great work, but have a good time off too :)

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

Actually one more note. I stopped using the Okuda Theme 'cause I couldn't see the text of the items in GRead. It's been mentioned in that thread that some apps didn't follow theme colours properly, which is why they had problems. Just something that maybe you could keep in mind, functionality (reading the items) is more important than eye candy of course, but I'd love to be able to go back to using Okuda, 'cause it's kewl :) :)
