Feature request: display no. of items per feed as per Bloglines etc.

Tue, 14 Aug 2007 23:22:47 +0200

Thanks for your comment,

For the "how many items are unread on a feed by feed basis" feature I have to think about it, but this is really a (server) performance issue. May be it will be available in a version 2 (v1 has to be finalized first!).

For the 2nd point the quick anwser could be:
you can use the "mail" feature for that. This way you can save posts in your mailbox (you can save those indefinitly).

These answers may not the ones you expected, but I try to keep FeedShow fast and scalable (with reasonnable HW resources). This drives some design choices...

Hi,

I found feedshow after becoming very frustrated with Bloglines because they are very poor at answering support questions and for some reason all my feeds are auto-updating to all read every five minutes - very annoying.

Anyway feedshow looks like an excellent alternative except for a couple of things. I really need to see how many items are unread on a feed by feed basis so I can prioritise which feeds I read first. I know in a previous reply you were concerned about performance (I assume you mean on an individual basis and not as a whole) if you added this but perhaps you could consider making it an optional feature - I could live with a slow down if I could get this feature added.

Also I could not find the ability to save or mark particular items in a feed to keep. Perhaps you could add something like this as well as sometimes I don't have time to read a particular article but would like to save it for later.

Anyway I think feedshow has great promise and I hope you continue to build up its feature set.

Thanks a lot,

Matthew.

Hi Paul,

It took me just a few minutes to take your good remark into account.
May be I'll add an option so one can choose the date format...

German version !
Well, that's on the roadmap...when feedshow has left beta.
I'll ask for the community's help for that translations.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi there,

I like FeedShow very much, but one thing could be better in my opinion: In the layout with 3 panels it should be possible to change the date format.
At the moment it is: year-month-day (2007-07-11), but I would prefer day-month-year (11-07-2007).

Is think the date-format has something to do with the grading of the different topics, but maybe it is possible to change that without bigger side effects.

And of course, a german version would be fine. :)

Thanks a lot!

Paul,

You can now set your time zone in the "preferences" panel.
Dates and times should now be displayed in your local time zone.

Just tell me if this new feature does not work properly...

Thanks for your comment.
You already have a quick way to send an article by mail.

Do you mean you want to send a mail to a "fixed" email address ?

Thu, 31 May 2007 19:05:42 +0200

First of all - great job on feedshow. Tried many web based and PC based readers and really like feedshow.
Love the simplicy and no-nonsense interface - very nice work - and so far, it's very fast.
I hope it does not get bloated in the future.

One feature I would like to see is the ability to email an article with a click ! :-)

Best of Luck with this project.

i'm simply admired

Hello,
I searched for such site. Thanks you

Why are you displaying my site???

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 10:43:01 +0100

Feedshow does NOT scrap any website. You certainly did have a PUBLIC feed at some point of time.
But yes, at your request, your website can be blacklisted.
By the way, who are you, what is your website, where did you see your stuff, ... ?
I need that basic infirmation (you can tell me be mail http://www.feedshow.com/about ) !

Why are you displaying my site???

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 03:14:36 +0100

I had a web site, a blog, one that I purposely did NOT publish feeds from, because it was intended to be PRIVATE. Your service scraped my site and published the PRIVATE content WITHOUT my permission. The site is gone now, I deleted it months ago, yet it is still viewable with your Feedshow scam thing here. I want it taken down NOW!

Displaying all unread posts of all feeds (and folders) at once

Displaying all unread posts of all feeds (and folders) at once

Wed, 16 Aug 2006 02:46:30 +0200

Hello Roland,

I think I understand your point.
To ease navigation across your feeds I will first add keyboard shortcuts.
As an example you'll jump from feeds to feeds with the space bar (feeds with unread items). That will be easier than with the mouse.

This should be a first step, and I keep your "Unread Items (agregated) Feed" in mind.
Thanks for your feedback.

Displaying all unread posts of all feeds (and folders) at once

Tue, 15 Aug 2006 21:19:54 +0200

Hello,

I really like Feedshow & intent to use this site, but I'm missing one feature that most online feedreaders have.
I want to read all my unread posts without jumping from Feed to Feed (Folder to Folder).
Lets call it an "Unread Items" (agregated) Feed.

Is this a feature that you plan to implement?

The ultra-superp-extraordinaire-luxus-slick-everybody-would-like-that-variation would be if it on top would be possible to configure your own "unread items" subfeeds. F.eks. all unread feeds from one folder or two etc...

Cheers
Roland

displaying all feeds and folders at once

Thu, 03 Aug 2006 00:08:20 +0200

I don't plan to add a feature like you describe (though you already can export each feed as a PDF file).

However, I am thinking about an option that would send yourself an email with all the "unread" items of each feed (this way you could read your new items offline).
I still have to work on how to implement this feature but this one will certainly be available shortly.

Hope this will satisfy your needs.

Wed, 02 Aug 2006 12:30:59 +0200

hello,

I would like to be able to display all feeds and folders on the one large page and then export to pdf for viewing offline at work. Is this a feature that may be able to be made available with Feedshow?

thx DAVE..

Added support for http authentication

Sat, 29 Jul 2006 10:43:26 +0200

Yes I will add HTTP Authentication support. I know this is a major feature that is curently missing.
Https will also come soon...
Thanks for your feedback.

Fri, 28 Jul 2006 20:31:20 +0200

I would like to subscribe to a feed that is behind http authentication. Are there any plans to add support for this?

Feature request Atom validation

Fri, 23 Jun 2006 17:03:45 +0200

Feedshow supports Atom 1.0 validation, Blogger.com is still using Atom 0.3(draft)...

Pdf conversion is a third party service that seems to handle Atom quite well...No ?

Feature request Atom validation

Fri, 23 Jun 2006 13:40:12 +0200

for blogger users, the native format is Atom, not RSS so RSS validation is not sufficient.

"RSS to PDF" is good but there is place for "Atom to PDF" too

Feature request: Auto expand subscription tree nodes that have updates

Tue, 20 Jun 2006 17:15:02 +0200

The new option is online.

We have now a three-state option for the folders to expand at startup:
- Last user configuration
- Folders with unread feeds only
- Last user configuration and folders with unread feeds

The next option will be to only displayed feeds with unread items...

Feature request: Auto expand subscription tree nodes that have updates

Sat, 17 Jun 2006 18:12:47 +0200

I will added the third option "expand folders with unread feeds and keep the expanded ones expanded" ;).
Rails has good features ! I will also consider "unique filenames" to solve those versioning issues !

Feature request: Auto expand subscription tree nodes that have updates

Sat, 17 Jun 2006 17:49:23 +0200

Ok, the performance issue does not bother me but I think I think the expand behavior needs to fixing as outlined before I am going to use the feature. I did not try to clear the cache yet but you could consider using unique generated filenames for the javascript to avoid this problem (I know Ruby On Rails does this).

Feature request: Auto expand subscription tree nodes that have updates

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 14:00:23 +0200

When the "Expand Unread" option is set, ONLY the folders with unread items should expand.
(this is how it works right now...I'll check if we can also keep already expanded folders)

The script (feed tree) starts with all folders closed and checks each folders for unread feeds.
This may be a VERY long process if you have a large bunch of feeds to display.
(as an example for a 600 lines menu it takes about 30s to display)

It works fine for me with FireFox 1.5.
Some javascripts have been modified, may be you have the old ones in cache...clear cache (?)

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 11:02:48 +0200

>The 'auto-expand' feature is now available.

Can't get it to work (in FireFox 1.5). I have enabled "Expand Unread" but the tree does not expand as it should. Even worse, anything is collapsed by default.

What I would really want is for the tree to "perserve" already opened folders by default and automatically expand more when there is a unread item in one or more subfolder. Is that what your "Expand Unread" is supposed to do?

Feature Req: Main Folder Feed Display/Feed Count Per Feed/Auto-Refresh

Thu, 15 Jun 2006 23:41:10 +0200

Auto-refresh has been added.
Now the left menu will auto refresh every 10mn.
(May be this will be an adjustable option in the future)
