RSS-Reader

April 26, 2005| | Kategori: WWW

I’ve been on the lookout for some good RSS-Readers lately, and I’m now testing out RSS Bandit. It’s OpenSource, and can be downloaded from the website.
So, why do I like this one, compared to others?
- First of all, it’s easy to install, and easy to get up-and-running.
- It has a good GUI / interface, and it’s easy to get an overview
- It supports remote storage.

It’s the last thing that makes this one better than others. I use RSS at my work too, and don’t you just hate it, when all the entries are both at home and work, and you have actually read some of them. Sharing the same file is something I find valueable, and RSS Bandit offer this.

On one of my domains at Dreamhost, I can use WebDav, and RSS Bandit has support for WebDav.
So basically, what I’ve done is:
- Download and install RSS-Bandit
- Log on to Bloglines.com and export my feeds to an opml-file.
- Import the opml-file into RSS Bandit
- Read RSS-entries during my time at the PC
- Export the RSS’s to my WebDav at my domain.
- Quit RSS Bandit.

Then, when I log in at work, I start up RSS Bandit, and download my feeds from WebDav, and then I have the same listings as at home, and can update the RSS-feeds.

This is quite neat, and I don’t know of other RSS-Readers with the same possibilities.

So, what I’m saying is: check it out ;)
