![]() The caveat though is that deleting a feed from a folder will not delete that feed from the app. Which basically means that you can add one feed to multiple folders, or even add one feed to the same folder multiple times (if you really wanted), without breaking anything. Folders in lire are setup a lot like saved searches. Allows users to manage their feeds in folders. ![]() Now has Folders, you can now sort your articles by oldest to newest or vice versa, new voice over options to select from, you can now import OPML, and many more. So many new features with in the app itself. Sync with any of the several services: Feedly, Feedbin, FeedHQ, The Old Reader, Inoreader, BazQux Reader, Newsblur, Feed Wrangler.Īmazing new update! If you haven't gotten the update yet. Once they're cached, you don't even need to be connected to read your full-text feeds. It takes your favorite partial feeds, does it's magic, and converts them in to full feeds, so you don't have to click/tap on those annoying 'Read more' or 'Continue reading' links. You don't need to click through to any website (though, you do still have the option to, if you really wanted). Which is why, unlike other RSS feed readers, that either push you into a browser (in-app or otherwise), or depend on third party text parsing services and require you to be online to fetch the full text of one article at a time (which makes it no different from having to click/tap through to a website), in lire, you get your favorite RSS feeds as they should've been. We find that really annoying, and we're sure you do too. However, some sites set up their feeds to only show a portion of each entry, you know, to get you to click through to their actual website. Really appreciate it.RSS feeds are a great way to follow updates on your favorite website. We don't have any server to store any user data. Trend analysis is not possible because everything is done on your device. Catching duplicate content links is hard to implement in this case because that logic will also have to reside on the user device.Ħ. Because of the way Plenary is designed, everything it does from fetching, combining and storing feed data to showing it to the user is done on your mobile device. That is one area we need to work more on.ĥ. Yes, Plenary is currently not fully optimized for tablet experience. It would be great if you can elaborate more on "zoom slider for the front page grid". Sure we will improve the algorithm to find the image and also look into removing the placeholder if image is not present.Ĥ. Are you talking about opening article externally as the main action?ģ. You can open links externally or within the app (If you have premium, you can open your preferred domain urls externally as the main action).Ģ. We didn't go with custom tabs as we wanted more control on the interactions with WebView. Plenary doesn't use Chrome as the browser (it uses Android WebView that uses chrome engine internally). But if you want my money, you gotta have every one of those feature enhancements checked.ġ. Overall, it's already better than most of the existing feed readers out there IMO. Some trend analysis to determine what's most important to read out of thousands of articles daily Duplicate link removal, and across different sites/domains/social networksĦ. On a tablet there's plenty of layout optimization that could be done.ĥ. A zoom slider for the front page grid would be nice. Either remove the placeholder, or improve the algorithm to insert an image.Ĥ. When there's no thumbnail, the large placeholder with two letters and a garish background colour feels like wasted space. ![]() Yep, I could click the link icon, but it's a smaller area and clicking the title is intuitive.ģ. Needs an option for the article title link to take me straight to the article. And an option to open externally or a within the app.Ģ. Needs an option to use Firefox as the browser, rather than using Chrome. I've used Plenary for about an hour, some thoughts.ġ. Freely/Palabre/Flipboard user, and long time feed consumer. ![]()
