Feature Request: goread support #59

Closed abudden closed 10 years ago

abudden commented 10 years ago

Goread is a really nice on-line reader which can be easily hosted on google appengine for free to get a very fast and very usable RSS reader (or you can use it at goread.io for a small fee). There is an (open-source) android app available, but I don't believe this allows you to connect to your own hosted version and it is nowhere near as nice as News+.

I'm not a java programmer, so I don't really feel able to implement the extension, but it would be fantastic if someone could look at this. The existing android app would presumably help with this as it would provide examples of how to connect to a goread instance.

does it have an api?

abudden commented 10 years ago

I believe so: it's used by the existing android app.

noinnion commented 10 years ago

there is no official api for goread? Could you ask the developer for a api documentation.

I've created an issue on his github page; I'll let you know when I hear back.

I've documented the minimum API calls for a functioning client here. I'm happy to provide as many details, help, or new documentation as requested. If you need new API calls, those can also be added.

Hi Matt,

thanks for api documentation. You can see in https://github.com/noinnion/newsplus/tree/master/api#subclassing-readerextension the api for building an extension for News+. Maybe you can provide the needed apis.
