im just now understanding and utilizing RSS feeds (yes im late, lol)
and i wanna keep up with the latest headlines of digg and slashdot as a plugin.
im testing and playing with egress, while its nice and intuitive its only listing one headline at a time in random order on my plugin page.
I cant figure out how to expand the plugin to allow for more headlines or how to have two websites displayed at once.. is this software even capable of doing this? Or am i gonna have to just get used to one headline at a time?

There are some RSS readers from HTC floating around forums too. One is RSS Hub and the other one was taken from Touch Dual ROM, I can not remember the name of it, sorry.
You may try freerange
Hi,
You may try freerange (the free version ofcourse). I think it is one of the best RSS readers. If not the Best
Hello,
So, is there out any RSS reader for WM which really shows full articles.
I've tried a lot of them , SPB Insight,BeyondPod,News Break , etc. and everyone had that ugly link on a bottom "click here to read whole article".
So, I need some RSS reader which will download FULL article , not only a first section of article , because then i need to click on a link, then internet browser opens , and loading whole site where is rss feed...slowly....
Thank You!
I've only used a few, but I'm quite sure any reader you use is going to limit the article somewhere along the line. It prevents your phone from being loaded up on articles you don't want.
Well they can prevent this by loading all articles,but only part of articles, and when you open article which is interesting to you , loads full article.

That's when your really interested, and you hit the "Read Full Article" link.
Yes , I can hit the "read full article" , but problem is that mobile opera needs a lot of time to open and load page( whole page where is the article) , its not extracting only the article , and thats wasting of time and money(gprs,3g)
I just want that RSS reader extracts full article , so I dont need to open my internet browser...
I could be wrong but I think this is determined by the feed itself and not the reader. for example wmexperts, brg and engadget post the whole article cnn does not.

definitely : this is not reader related, but due to the feed :
most of sites truncate the article so that you have a glimpse of it and need to browse their site to have the full article (and more... purely marketing wise)
Some others push the full article in their RSS Feed.
By the way, I tested different readers, and to me BeyondPod (2.8) is great : includes icons, manages rss, podcasts, and automatically downloads podcasts when refreshing, not like the buggy Newsbreak which is not free (!)
Hello everyone,
while I was on my tortureous Odyssey of finding a working htc sense eReader.cab version I had an idea ...
Isn't it feasable to use the mobile page of the "Project Gutenberg" like a free app-store? It would be overwhelming! About 20.000 free eBooks to choose from - and to make the decision more difficult - one can choose the format in which the file will arrive on the device --> pdf, epub, html, w/o pics....
Just an idea.... but I must admit that I'm a loser when it comes to programming. I could do beta-testing
Good Idea but one hell of a project..
Any one willing to take it on?
Just an idea...
That's how the mobile site looks alike:
http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog.mobile/search/
There are also apple-apps available, which are similar to the setting of the mobile site... don't know, perhaps this could be a helping information?
Or you could just download Freda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7141176), go to the 'Add to library' screen and point it at the Lucidor OPDS catalog of the Gutenberg books database (http://lucidor.heliohost.org/opds/pg.php). That should work ...
EDIT: It does work, kind-of. The 'next/previous' page reference links aren't being picked up right by Freda, so for multi-page entries (e.g. "all authors beginning A") you only see the first page. I will fix this in the next Freda build. In the meantime, you can work round by manually editing the fi number (e.g. in the URL, replace "&fi=1" with "&fi=100", and the display will start with the hundredth entry, not the first).
This would be quite nice if Freda would support the Gutenberg Site.
Not to mention the additional popularity boost "Freda" would gain with this support!
Very nice idea. Thanks in advance!

I have a question: How can I make an app like those you can make with MakeMyApp by thirdlabs?
I want a panoramic app (you can choose this in Visual Studio 2010 for Windows Phone) and one page for every single thing. One page should access a Twitter Account, one should access a YouTube channel, one page for a Facebook account, one page for a Flickr account and one page for RSS News. And I want to have a Background picture in the app. How can I make such an app? Please help me I wanna learn how to program apps for WP7.
Sounds like you haven't done any development before. I don't know what MakeMyApp is, but if you're really interested in developing for Windows Phone, here are some places to check out.
This is the main developer hub. Register here, find educational resources, check on your apps ... Everything. http://create.msdn.com
These are the quickstart guides that got me through my very first app. You'll also want to check out msdn's Channel 9 for more education. http://create.msdn.com/en-US/education/quickstarts
And get used to going here when you need to know how to use a certain method or class. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library
Good luck!
No, I haven't. I developed some apps for Android but I'm new to developing for Windows Phone 7
MakeMyApp is a place where you can make a WP7 app online and then use it on your phone for 72 hours through their own app. But their app doesn't work on Mango and the limitation to 72 hours is really annoying. You can check out their website here. It's very easy. All you have to do is upload a .png file for the tile, a bigger .png file for the background, give your App a name and then you can choose if you want to get news through RSS, videos from a certain YT channel, photos from Flickr or updates from FB and Twitter. And for all those things you can specify an "account" to get them from. E.g. you wanna have YT-Videos from the Annoying Orange you can choose YouTube, then type in YT-Acc or whatever and then you can type in realannoyingorange as YT-Username. And voilà, you've got an app with the YT vids from the realannoyingorange channel.
I just thought that that would be kinda easy to program...'Cause the only thing my app has to do is access a certain account from Twitter, FB, YT...
But thanks for those pages. I already know them and I have read a little bit, too. But it's a LOT to read
It only loads 10 or so news per outlet; I want it to load more (e.g. cache 20 news instead of 10), or have it load more when I reach the pre-loaded cache (with WiFi).
Anyway to do that?
You can load only 10 sources per page, but you can create a number of pages, grouping the sources by a general topic (News, Sports, Tech, Etc.). Press the gear in the upper left-hand corner of the Home page and scroll to the right - you'll see Add Page.

I know that, I want more than 10 s'all. Example:
I have Engadget, and only 10 news are loaded. I want to read more.
I can't find a way to load more than 10.
Oh, you mean more than 10 articles per source - no, unfortunately you can't modify that.

Try Taptu: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.taptu.streams
I switched to it a few weeks ago, and while the UI isn't as polished as Pulse, I find it works much better.
My main problem with Pulse was that I had to switch to "browser view" all the time. Taptu formats the articles better.

I am a huge Google Reader fan, and so had a very extensive list of RSS feeds via that. One of the best things about Pulse is it let's you import those feeds so you can use them. I like the app to a point, and only some feeds look good in it, so I will probably flip between the two. It's going to be hard for me to be fully pulled away from GR!
So, if you want a little more customization, setup your feeds in Google Reader and then import.
However, that probably won't overcome the "10" cache limit, but I found it makes the app a lot more useable as a result!
