However, I'm not an expert on RSS (I don't generally use any RSS readers myself), nor well-educated on GTK, nor for that matter much of a user interfaces guy to begin with. So, I may not be the best guy for doing a total overhaul of the existing RSS reader...
I would also like to see a widget that has less emphasis on being finger-friendly and more on supporting a large, easy-to-read display of news headlines...
Qgil's thread?
