    Version: Readefine Desktop 0.90

    Pros

    Powered by flash! Lightweight, syncs with google reader but lives as a stand alone application. A simple, light and elegant way to read rss, news and blog feeds.

    Cons

    Go to the publishers website to download, from Adobe Air marketplace ( free)

    "Read blog feeds or newspapers on the web? Readefine it."

    December 22, 2009  |   By sriragam

    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
