New FeedDemon

There is a new Feeddemon available. It's RC1 and downloadable here.

The best new feauture is that you have more screen estate when maximizing the browser (Using the F11, what else), the channel toolbar now “auto-hides“ itself. The browser no longer displays silly characters but the back and front buttons on my mouse still don't work (they did in beta 5).

For support there is a classic newsgroup which is very well taken care off. When it comes to a discussion still nothing beats Outlook Express. I wish somebody found a way of weaving that into blogs and readers. (I allready tried NewsGator)

I'm currently beta testing the next release (0.4) and it looks great!

Hi Phil, my problem with a web-based tool lik ethat is that you are dependent on the feeds which are (re) published by methodizesols. They don't even have the dnj feed...

Peter: nntp//rss is NOT a Web-based tool, unless you happen to install it on your Web server. It's an NNTP server that runs wherever you install it (e.g., localhost); you use a browser-based interface to subscribe to the feeds of your choice (it can import your existing subscriptions via OPML), then point your newsreader at the machine on which it's running. Voila! RSS feeds in any newsreader, including Outlook Express.

hi Phil,
sorry for the late response. To much PDC :> My web-based definition does include nntp new servers. My main problem is that the feed has to be processed by a (news) server before I can consume it in my reader. I want to see a feed in a browser and "click-once" to subscribe.
