  1. Sync with web aggregator
  2. Feed Support
  3. Bugs
Sync with web aggregator
  • The ability to do real sync with an web based aggregator (mark invididual items read or unread). Possibly using Newsgator API or Google reader API (AFAIK Bloglines doesn't let you mark individual items read or unread so syncing with Bloglines is not practical).
Feed Support
  • Support ATOM 1.0
  • HTML support for entries
Bugs
  • Glad to see the additions in Maemo 2.0 for images and hyperlinks, but it's pretty easy to bring the whole app down with even a moderately-sized feed, such as Engadget's. It brings the device to a crawl, and eventually crashes.
  • Why don't the zoom buttons resize the text like in Opera?
  • When updating, please download everything that is needed to display the feed offline. Automated feed retrieval is only half-baked if you need to go online to get images, etc, at read time.
