Sneak peek at the development version!

Hello!

New version of Straw is underway, we’re working hard on new features and overall improvements. You can learn more about current status and plans at the wiki.

I made a small screencast of some of new features that are actually working :-) In the video you can see:

  • new tree view-based feed list
  • feed item aggregation – if you click on a category, all items from child feeds are shown
  • feed discovery dialog – you can type only website address and Straw will try to discover any news sources on that page

Many things are still not finished, like downloading (and showing) feed icons (favicons), “search folders”, improved UI dialogs (applying Gnome Human Interface Guidelines).

Stay tuned, and, of course, feedback is very appreciated!

    Really cool. I’ve been using straw a few months ago and I love the tagging feature instead the old fashioned tree style.

    I miss the use of the favicons of the feed’s website to quickly visualize a particular feed.

    Good work!

    Pawel: have you thought about putting this blog on blogs.gnome.org? seems like an obvious thing to do :) Anyway, good luck with straw; I will be testing it out after my exams.

  3. @Alfons: Good news for you – tags and favicons are in our TODO for the near future ;-)

    @Luis: Yes, we thought about it, but it seems that one has to be a member of GNOME foundation etc. to get a blog and we really wanted to create it ASAP.

    As for testing – we’ll be officially announcing the development branch shortly and testers will definitely be needed!

    Great Blog! This blog has been very interesting to me. Reading it makes me feel I am getting advice from a friend. Your way of writing made me feel very comfortable. I am anxious to start a blog, but very confused as to what to do. I feel a lot more motivated reading your rules before starting a blog.
