Primary LanguageJavaScript

Freader

Now that Google Reader is over, why not use an open source Feed Reader ! Freader provides you with a simple page with all your feeds and the last item in them. You cannot read articles inside the application for now but it's on the TODO list !

You can see it in action in a little Heroku app here! Account creation takes about 10 seconds. Try it!

Features

  • All your feeds in a clear (and flat) UI
  • All written with Node.js and Angular.js
  • User management (creation, removing)
  • Feed caching (one hour by default)

Requirement

Installation

  • Clone this repo
  • Install dependencies with 'npm install'
  • Start your MongoDB server with mongod (modify the address if you need to in the config file)
  • Start the server with npm start
  • You can now create a user and start adding feeds by connecting to localhost:3000 (you can change the port inside the config file)

Used

TODO

  • Add organization on feeds with tabs / categories
  • Get back the favicon from the feed
  • Clean and remove CSS in Bootstrap / Flat UI to keep only what's used
  • Show the article directly in the application
  • Improve the design and UX in general
  • Implement 'Forgot Password?' feature
  • Keep track of the current state of articles : to reed / reeded
  • Add a view with every articles of every feeds
