The Real World

December 2, 2008 by kidjan 

Between moving, work, school and other tedious distractions that keep us from the things we love (i.e. writing code until our eyes bleed) we have not been too active lately.   But we’re getting back in gear to crank out another release of DaisyFeed, and we need your help.

Give us all your feature requests! Thus far, I see:

  1. Refresh all feed categories with a single click.
  2. The option of having the default start page be something other than favorites.
  3. Ability to copy a feed definition for several feeds from the same site.
  4. Ability to “bookmark” or “save” posts.
  5. No crashy-crashy on upgrade (still looking into this–it’s a tough nut to crack)
  6. Better OPML support/Google Reader integration
  7. Stability fixes for specific sites?
  8. Allow a max items setting, either per feed or overall.  This is to help with sites that have a lot of items.
  9. Add an option to cache full story content so even the actual page can be viewed offline.
  10. Add a confirmation to the “Erase All” feature, letting user know it’s going to toast everything.  (sorry!)

If you encounter a site where you cannot see posts, or the dates are off, or you cannot detect the feed, or have any sort of issue, please send the site to us.  Nine times out of ten we can fix it.

Thanks!  And do let us know what features you’d like to see.  We have a few other tricks up our sleeves, but I don’t want to spill the beans just yet.  :D

Edit:

  1. added some suggestions from Bill Minton–thank you Bill!
  2. added a bug to look into a page that renders incorrectly for Tony Hsu–thank you Tony!

    Tony,

    I’ve added a note to look at that page and see why Daisy Feed can’t read it. Thanks!

    I have your latest version, but can not update feeds because it always crashes, when do we see a fix. Thanks.

    Hello,
    I was happy with daisy feed until i erased all threads i had already read.
    Since then all feeds stay in 0 and no longer update
    And then back to springboard :-(

    Hope your update makes it better
