Topic: Generic RSS Reader App
I have an 8" Insignia Infocast and a Sony Dash and the one thing which (in my opinion) keeps these devices from being (close to) perfect is is the lack of a good, generic RSS reader. I know a bit of flash and if someone could get me the source for the Generic Chumby RSS Reader (which is VERY limited) I would love to work on a reader for the community which would:
- Allow MANY RSS feeds to be configured in a single app
- Show only scrolling headlines with article summaries from each RSS feed along with a thumbnail and indication which RSS feed the article was posted in
- Allow you to click on any of them to expose the full article
- Have a black background with light gray text so it is not overwhelmning on larger displays such as Dash or Infocast
- Allow configuration to set the feeds to update once every X hours
The generic Chumby RSS is pretty crappy and all the others are feed specific and therefore displays in different formats, colours, etc. (Engadget, ESPN, etc). Hopefully this will stimulate some conversation on the topic.
Thoughts???
