  • I also use SharpReader because of it's fast, simple, and the most important for me, the hierarchical organization of subscribed feeds...



    I just miss the "Watches" feature of FeedDemon, and the ability to flag "Interesting" posts so that you can find them easily when you need them. I also miss the nice look'n'feel of FeedDemon...



    As I'm also building an RSS Reader: MyBlogroll.com (check out the screenshots !), I'll take note of all your feedbacks and will try to implement them in it..

  • #3) Mail To: that hooks into outlook

  • I have recently switched to SharpReader from FeedDemon and while I love the hierarchical categories, my major problem so far is that it will not allow me to sort by read status and because blogs come in with different dates on them, when highlighting the top level for new posts you have to really search hard to find the new (unread) posts.



    MyBlogRoll looks good Julien, but the beta download didnt work. Is it available anywhere?

  • Agreed, it's the only thing I use. My only beef is the drain it puts on my system when starting up. I have SharpReader set to run on startup, and it really drags the system down. A lower thread priority for the fetching process would be very welcome.

  • Julian - the screenshots are very slick! can't wait to try it out! Make sure it has "Import from sharpreader opml" feature built in, though...

    I'm also not seeing the "author" column over there as well.



  • Outlook 2003



    * Create search folder only containing unread articles from the newsgator hierarchy

    * Click on properties for the search folder and make sure it shows 'show number of unread messages'.



    You may be able to do this partially in outlook 2002 but i can't remember.

  • I would also like to see some kind of search capability in SharpReader.

  • Manoj - you can search right now. Press CTRL+SHIFT+F

  • I only have one problem with SharpReader: it doesn't run under Whidbey.

  • I take that back: I tried on another computer, and everything is fine. Great.

  • I love sharp reader and use it all day, every day. My only real problem is that if you have a lot of feeds it consumes a VAST amount of memory. Mine usually runs at about 135mb. It would be nice if it had some sort of paging system so that feeds you weren't reading were not loaded into memory all the time. But other than that, it's fantastic.

  • Why doesn't Luke release source code so we can add these things?
