Description avx.dev (reporter) 2011-01-26 17:41:23 UTC
SOFTWARE VERSION: 0.8.4

some things know from desktop-readers would be a nice addition, namely:

a) download an entries-contents and save it on 'disk', ideally in some kind of
freely configurable format for filenames (ie %feedname/%date/%title.txt)

b) on the fly text zooming

c) sending the entries-url via im/twitter/email, create new calendar-entry from
entry

d) in feed- and entries-view, be able to limit the items by entering some
letters

e) global search over all feeds and their entries.

why not just selecting the text?

Could you explain this a bit more?

I will not implement those services in ReSiStance but it will be nice indeed to
use the services provided by other apps. Need to check which ones exist (email
program has it, I know because I implemented it :))

Yeah I always wanted to have that, it's called live search in Maemo.
Unfortunatelly it does not work for Python programs as it's not included in the
bindings.

I wouldn't consider this for the moment unless I find an efficient way of doing
that (and a good UI as well)

convenience? ie. it saves some keystrokes. aside from this, I could write a
script to monitor an output directory, thus for example feeding a
torrent-client which itself doesn't support rss/directory watching, ...

afaik there's only the possibility to set a global fontsize. depending on the
orientation of the device and how far you hold it away from your eyes, this may
be to small/big, so some zoom-in/-out button/gesture/whatever would be nice.

thanks for consideration. the build-in im-client should imho be able to do
this, pidgin too for sure. don't know about the twitter-clients, though.

that's a shame :(

didn't have a look at how you currently store the data, but sqlite having all
entries in a table should be fast enough, imho.
as for the ui, personally a search-bar would be enough, I don't really need to
be able to ie. limit the feeds beforehand.
