![]() ![]() It was painful because it doesn't allow selection of multiple feeds or feed groups at once. This is better ratio than for QuiteRss, but again more research has to be done!įirst problem I had was while removing feeds. There are 27 open issues and 197 closed ones.FeedReader is in active development, and all the activity is concentrated in 2016 with some additional in 2015.It has 26 watches (against 33 for QuiteRss), 152 stars (against 180) and 6 forks (against 28). FeedReader is somehow less popular than QuiteRss.Looking at the GitHub page of FeedReader, the following conclusions can be inferred: Take this into account while reading this review. Looking at the Web page, it has a lots of features but I'm using only a few, if any at this stage. You can read more about this reader on its homepage, and there is also GitHub development page. This is uniqe to other readers that bundle those functions together into a single binary. It depends on Qt4 and Webkit4 that are not maintained any more.įeedReader is a interesting because it has two components, daemon and a front end.That's a problem because not everyone is speaking Russion. T here is no confirmation dialog for such cases. Once I mistakenly selected the option "Mark all news read" which is irreversible.If you accidentally click on a link to PDF file, QuiteRSS freezes!.It still freezes with some RSS feeds and if that happens some history is lost (read feeds, marked/tagged feds, etc). You have to disable JavaScript because QuiteRss often freezes on some feeds while loading.The problems are the following ones, from the most important to the least important ones: ![]() I think that there are a lot of open issues but more thorough statistics has to be performed to know for certain. There are 212 open issues and 719 closed ones.From 2012 to 2014 development was very intensive. QuiteRSS is basically in maintenance mode since there is no substantial activity since 2014.QuiteRSS is quite popular, 33 watches, 180 stars and 28 forks.From there, the following conclusions can be inferred: It is interesting to look at QuiteRSS GitHub page. It has the ability to tag posts, mark them as a read, etc. There is a homepage and GitHub development page. QuiteRSS is quite good and I'm using it all the time. Also, I would like to hear you comments/sugestions, so if you have any, please leave a comment. I'll still try all the mentioned readers and update it with new experience. But before that, note that this is a live post, i.e. I'll describe each of them in a bit more details below. This brought me to three candidates: QuiteRSS, FeedReader and RSSGuard. And last, but not least, nice looking and usable GUI.So, scalability is of paramount importance. I have a large number of feeds and keep a lot of new (that is unread :D) posts around.It would be nice, though, that I can synchronize it with a reader on a mobile phone! No Web application! I want desktop RSS feed reader with GUI interface.Note that I have the following requirements: So, I started to explore RSS feed readers again. QuiteRSS was very good, but it turned out that the bug in Webkit started to annoy me. Besides, it turns out the last version of RSSOwl was released in December 2013, and isn't maintained any more. In the process I tried RSSOwl but I wasn't able to start it due to different XULRunner version on my Fedora. Not to mention that locally I have lot of disk storage that I don't have to pay, while storage in the cloud I would have to pay due to my heavy use of it.Īfter a search I settled on QuiteRSS. Web based readers are out of question, because I prefer desktop applications. Once upon a time, I used Liferea but since I have a lots of RSS feeds with lots of posts I want to keep around, turned out that Liferea wasn't designed with scalability in mind. I'm monitoring lot of sites using RSS so having a good RSS feed reader is mandatory for me. ![]()
