Text-Only RSS Reader is simple RSS reader that allows new RSS feeds
to added at anytime. This reader does not store any newstories on
the device. It only stores the RSS URLS. In addition no external
(internet) storage is used. It also gets the news on-demand. This
means there are no background fetches - this is not available (at
this time). This app can be described as sparce and spartan-ish –
as in rigorously simple frugal or austere.
Since this is a "Text-Only RSS Reader" this means that images listed in the RSS feed will be ignored. This also means there is no advertising - none is planned.
Lastly since this is my first RSS reader it is likely to have a few warts. Currently the [backbutton] does not work on Android. This will be resolved with the next release.
# TODO List #
- Resolve the [backbutton] issue
- Add Better UX Messaging or 'toast'
- Don't allow RSS feeds we can't read.
- Delete a URL/RSS Feed
# Future Plans #
- Move URL/RSS Feed on list
- Handle more types of RSS Feeds
- Have a Left Handed and Righted Handed Interface
- Swipe left/right to advance story
# Known Bugs #
- LG Leon (Android 5.1.0) does not handle the backbutton correctly.
- LG Leon (Android 5.1.0) sometimes the app refuses to exit.
- LG Leon (Android 5.1.0) sometimes the Cordova *device* plugin fails.
- With some blogs the *title* to the story gets mangled with other fields.
- Some news feeds use improper formating namely Google news.
