[Feature Request] Open Reader API #128

Open valdotdev opened 7 years ago

valdotdev commented 7 years ago

Hi there!

Just found out this pretty neat reader when I was browsing rss apps over at the electron site.

Will Aldiun eventually support the Open Reader API? got a lot of feeds in services like Inoreader. So rather than just exporting/importing a JSON/OPML file, the app could just sync with external services.

Also, a Mac version would be great ;) though I'm currently testing out the Windows version.

Thanks!

Hey! Seems like a pretty good idea, but as the Open Reader API documentation doesn't seem to be complete, I'll wait that's more used.

I can't build the Mac version because I don't have a Mac computer and of course, as Alduin is an open source software and I don't make any money on it, I don't think it will change for now.

Thanks for feedbacks.

@Xstoudi Oh ok thanks for the reply! I just thought it's already plausible since apps like Vienna or Reeder supports services like Inoreader which they claim uses Open Reader. I guess you need to access the APIs of these individual services like here. Now that I read the page fully, It appears the services are currently using/mimicing the existing Google Reader API to sync with RSS apps.
