Super top secret for the moment. We'll launch it on Monday. It's Flash-based, vector-crafted, and to be ported to other platforms soon. Any suggestions for improvement? Smile

Keeping in mind I know absolutel ZERO about this stuff, this was the first RSS feeder I ever tried and it wasn't very intuitive. There didn't seem to be an easy way to add a feed to MY FEEDS (or whatever it was called). I could cut and paste a link if it was a "coming soon" feed, but I couldn't figure out how to add a feed if it was already there. And there was no help file. Was I missing something?

Well, some bloggers, including myself, make use of line breaks, which the program seems to not use. This can lead to very confusing, or hard to read items.

it would be nice to have someway of having it start minimised with windows. I realise you can stick it in the windows startup folder but it then starts with the full window. Also some kind of way to setup watches on certain feeds that shows a notification when it updates would be good.

is this a good place to for suggestions or is there a better place?

You can right-click the startup file to set the properties to minimize.

Have just subscribed today to Lockergnome's News Feeder and have to say that it is the nuttiest thing since the Marx brothers!

Don't agree with everything that is said and done here,
but I do like the challenges that are made to other great giants in the cyberspace (namely Microsoft)!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

-can someone tell me why Chris prefers MIE2 to Mozilla now?

Entering registration codes was not "user friendly."

Would like to see more "options" in the program such as "check for upgrade".

Have sent "feedback" a few times, not sure messages are read.

Would like to see an automatic check of all the feeds in selected categories instead of one by one...

That's it for today folks!

Do enjoy discovering the Lockergnome Forum feed, didn't know the RSS feed here existed.

BTW, what are the advantages of a "premium" user ?
