My Feature Request for Syndirella Another problem is feed update error handling...I'll need to make sure that fatal errors (like 404 errors) are reported as message boxes and not as status bar notiications. [yole's devblog] One thing I noticed is that, behind a proxy server, I couldn't find a way to specify credentials for background updating. 9:30:54 PM    comment [] BottomFeeder James Robertson pointed me to BottomFeeder - another free news aggregator currently on the market. The interesting part about BottomFeeder is that it is written in Smalltalk, which is not quite a common language nowadays. [yole's devblog] 9:11:07 PM    comment [] Good bits here An important achievent today: My.Yandex, the only RSS syndication service in the Russian Internet that I'm aware of (maybe the only one that exists), now exports its list of feeds in the OPML format. This is especially exciting because this finally makes Syndirella useful for Russian users... So tomorrow I'll implement my part of the agreement with Yandex - support for importing OPML files from HTTP sites, with the possibility to preview the feeds and select the ones that should be imported. This will, of course, open the doors to other major RSS feed directories like MoreOver and NewsIsFree.
