I've been working on a Google Reader App for the N9 written in QML/Javascript.

It still has rough edges but I use it for my day-to-day feed-reading at this stage.

The program can be downloaded from the (incredibly rudimentary) website:
http://www.coralbark.net/grrok/

And the source (GPL v2+) is available on git hub:
https://github.com/jonquark/grrok

Feedback welcome (once it's much more polished I'll put it in the Ovi Store (for free) or apps.formeego.org).

Screenshots:


Features:
* Easy to use interface (choose categories/feeds/entries from the list or keep pressing the "down" button which moves from entry to entry, marking them read

* Mark Entries Read/Unread or mark whole feed read

* Open the current entry in a browser

TODO:

* Doesn't handle edit token expiry - 30mins after loading the app, you can no longer change any state on Google's servers (e.g. mark an entry feed)

* [Fixed in v0.1.1] (Older version: Doesn't handle feed continutations so can only download the first 20 items in a feed).

* Text sometimes overflows the container for it (I'm struggling with Text clipping and elliding).

* Mark entry starred

* Better error handling/testing
