The Project

So, it has come to it (Credit: xkcd.com). Time to tell the world what I will be spending time with:

RSS is a great invention. You can keep all the new you're interested in in one app, the reader. There is a plenty of RSS readers in the known universe, some of them also for Android. But none really seems to be able to do all the things at once. Wiew all the feeds in a single stream, add tags to articles, color the articles for easier orientation in all the world's news, integration with ReadItLater, content based learning filters... Often you see long lists of headlines you might be interested in - but what if you miss something?  I think I can do better than that!

I proudly present to you the Gourmet Reader, the reader to use when you know what you want to read. As the food admirers consume only selected, especially tasty food, you'll get to read the articles that fit your taste. The key features I've already thought of:

• feed views filtered by site or all feeds in one place
• marking articles with colorful labels for visual orientation, emphasizing important articles
• some learning filter to get to know you, give you only the important information and spare you all the ballast
• integration with ReadItLater

 For the UI, I'll go for real simplicity. The app is gonna be for tablets primarily, but I hope to write it in a manner that will enable it to be used on smartphones, too. Android has the tools in place, so it should be more fun than pain.

Now the real work shall commence!
