Yes, it's not supposed to have the same functions of a desktop application...but at least a nice customizable widget for a quick overview of latest news.
Well, as I do now have an RSS parser and the ability to create widgets, let me ask: what would make a good RSS reader? I did a quick google of the "genie widget", and most of the screenshots seem to show it taking up the full screen; is there a good way to deal with RSS data in a tiny widget window? (On the other hand, perhaps a full-screen widget would work in this case; the Maemo UI guidelines specify that widgets should never take up more than half the screen, but with so many desktop screens available, I kind of like the idea of being able to dedicate an entire desktop to a single task...)

And what features should a good RSS reader support?
