August 23, 2008 at 16:24uRSSus - for those who have not yet found a convenient RSS reader
For about six months I have been completely living in Ubunt. During this time I tried a lot of all kinds of software from different subject areas in search of my ideal. Thanks to the Habr, I learned about a very convenient ICQ qutIM ( Habratopik number of times , Habratopik number ++ times ). But with the RSS reader, everything somehow did not add up. I tried several ubunts from the repository, installed a couple of third-party ones, but something didn’t work in all (I lived with FeedReader under Windows and was quite happy for myself). Until recently, I used Akregator under Ubunta , but for some indicators it didn’t suit me very much.
About a month ago I found out about the uRSSus project , tried it, and stayed on it.
The project supports both many features of modern RSS readers, and a couple of unique ones (at least unique to me):
- update of all feeds at a given time interval
- update of certain feeds at a given individually specified interval
- indication of unread feeds in the tray icon (the icon shows only the existence of unread feeds, the amount can be found in the tooltip when you hover the mouse)
- acknowledgment of receipt of new articles in oprelennyh feeds
- splitting feeds in folders
- import / export the OPML
- important news
- fil radio feeds and search
- metafeed to fetch all unread news, or important news
- posting news on Twitter
- Import feeds from Google Reader
- several types of display (classic, wide, combined) Like most linux projects, uRSSus is an open source project hosted on code.google.com . A project is being written in Python, a graphical shell in PyQT4. The latter caused some difficulties when trying to install urssus on ubuntu, where the WebKit component was not in the PyQt library. As a result, I had to update PyQt from the backport repository, and then also put 2 packages from the debian repository. Perhaps there was a simpler solution, but for me it was not so obvious. The stable branch of the project is in version 0.2.10, but I use the code from the repository. That is why sometimes I appear in the project as QA =) UPD
: Convincing request not to start holivars on the topic of "web readers all offline." Each approach has its pros and cons. This topic is about one of the programs, and not about methods for reading RSS feeds.
