"Read blog feeds or newspapers on the web? Readefine it."
Version: Readefine Desktop 0.87
Pros
What I like most is the typography, multi-column layout and the pagination. I like the desktop version built on Adobe AIR more because I can read offline.
Cons
a) The nav bars can be hidden individually. Want a single click to get to a full-window mode, where I just want to read, share and star.
b) PageDown and Page up works within an article. How about keyboard inputs for previous and next articles?Summary
Some feature suggestions:
a) Allow me to tweet/digg articles as I read them or share them on Facebook pages
b) In the desktop version, also allow me to compose comments for blog posts that I read (even when I am offline). When I want to publish my comments, I should be able to review the original blog (if possible with its comments) and then post mine.
c) You could also allow me to author a blog post inspired by what I am reading and post it on my blogs
d) Can you give me a mode where I can see all my "starred" articles and sequentially go through them? Then I could "star" something for commenting and then write all my comments offline and publish it -
