RSS Bandit Comments

Now that's I've dumped Radio, I'm looking for a news aggregator.  I worked a little with RSS Bandit this morning.  A nice little app.  A few things I'd like to see:

  • Automatically get the title of the weblog from the RSS feed.  Why do I need to type this in?
  • Drag/Drop URL's to add a new feed.
  • Support for CTRL-F4 to close a newsfeed tab.

I'm also going to look into SharpReader and Syndirella, but I've seen a few blogs indicate that development on SharpReader may have "stalled" a bit.

Not true. Luke is still working on Sharpreader quite a bit.

I posted a week ago, that I was going to start using RSSBandit, but I guess I need to make another post, because I am still using SharpReader.

I really like the UI of RSSBandit, but Dare has stated it will be a while before he has time to tweak the peformance...until then, it is just way to slow.

If you are an outlook user, I highly recommend you check out NewsGator. It rocks!

Thanks Scott. I just downloaded SharpReader. I hope these two apps both have import/export of OPML...

You should try the refreshed bits of 1.1.0.6: it feels somewhat faster than before ;-)
