Request: Webkit RSS Reader
 

Would any dev be interested in this? Basically, rigging up a Tear-based RSS feed reader.

I know I'm not the only one who has been getting fed-up with the feed reader and its unresponsiveness and lagginess.

Please and thank you :D

Hmm... Or maybe something integrated? :)

Btw, the mobile Google Reader is actually quite good.

I didn't want to ask you directly because I know you've worked so hard on this, and I was hoping another dev would be eager to help... but, yes! An integrated reader would be great, Bundyo! As long as it could be used offline, too... Unlike google's ;)

Re: Request: Webkit RSS Reader
 

Prob wouldn't be hard to link feedcircuit w/ tear instead of microb. (i already do by bookmarking in tear each feed's items page that's created by feedcircuit.) voila.

We just need someone to get Gears working on the tablets. ;)

I reckon that would be more work than rigging up a reader with the great foundation Webkikt and Tear provide.

Re: Request: Webkit RSS Reader
 

On the other hand, it would solve RSS, PIM, Email, etc. all at once. :)

I'd like to second the motion for Offline reading :D


Can I donate karma?

TIA

Re: Request: Webkit RSS Reader
 

Touche'! :D

Didn't we have a google gears port around here somewhere? And... Bundyo, could it be integrated into Tear?

Re: Request: Webkit RSS Reader
 

No, but WebKit already has local SQL storage (no need for Gears). I only need to find out why it doesn't work. :D

Check this in Safari/Chrome (only Safari 4 beta tested, Chrome 1/2 doesn't have it):

EDIT: Now this is working in Tear too :)

Re: Request: Webkit RSS Reader
 

Really? What would that mean if you could get it working? That we could use applications built for Gears offline without Gears? Or... are you just referring to rigging an RSS reader?

Re: Request: Webkit RSS Reader
 

localStorage is the HTML5 equivalent to Gears. However I don't know if it is compatible with Gears or if the existing Gears applications are compatible with it if it is different.

Session Storage however seem to work. It can be used to store key value pairs and probably can be used for offline RSS storage (like storing the news as text and the pictures as data:uris... Worth investigating I think :) But not persistent, we need localStorage for that. :(

New libwebkit with localStorage support:

And for 770:

Interesting news site, works good with iPhone user-agent. No localStorage though.

Re: Request: Webkit RSS Reader
 

Thanks for getting this working, Bundyo! :D

So... what do we have to do now in order to use localStorage for RSS?

Re: Request: Webkit RSS Reader
 

Write one? :)

It was a needed brick, I'll try to get something running.

Re: Request: Webkit RSS Reader
 

Feedcircuit is nice, but it doesn't seem to get RSS feeds right sometimes for caching..requires alot of editting to identify content tags.

Re: Request: Webkit RSS Reader
 

easy solution (that works for me, especially because rss feeds are mostly about the text, not "full web" or pictures/graphics): use skweezer proxy to reformat rss items in feedcircuit. this rips entire (skweezer'd) page---no need to edit content tags to be sure to get entire post content.
