Desktop-Sync-Clients?

[stefan-niedermann]

Are there any for linux? I could only find the Android-News-App.

[BernhardPosselt]

I don't know of any

@jancborchardt pinged the Liferea's folks about syncing with News app, but no reply so far: https://github.com/lwindolf/liferea/issues/18

[jancborchardt]

Yeah, we should mail a few desktop client developers about integration. I already did that in the past with mobile apps, but development is slow.

[stefan-niedermann]

well, since owncloud develops an own android mobile client, the mobile world is covered really good. as far as i know, there's an iOS app, too. and of course the webclient (i'm very hopeful, OC7 is fully responsive). maybe the people behind mirall are interested in developing a QT-based app?

a native client for a desktop OS would be really great ;) we'll see what happens.

[BernhardPosselt]

I dont plan any responsive layout soon, feel free to submit patches though if you want to.

I doubt that the qt people will want to develop a client, they already have enough work with the sync client. But apparently @cosimoc from GNOME is working on a gnome news reader and we talked to him at GUADEC. So the most likely desktop app there will be is probably a gnome/gtk application in C or maybe even javascript.

If youre interested in helping out I think you should contact him

Also keep in mind there is also a plan (I know, it's been a "plan" for two years…) to develop an akonadi resource for ownCloud News, which means: KDE Akregator <--> oC News. I proposed it as a GSoC project to KDE people, but all the suitable mentors were too busy.

maybe the people behind mirall are interested in developing a QT-based app?

There are Qt-based apps for SailfishOS and Harmattan

• https://openrepos.net/content/buschtrommel/ocnews-nokia-n9
• https://openrepos.net/content/buschtrommel/ocnews-sailfishos
• https://openrepos.net/content/tigrebleu/ownnews

So it should be possible to use some code from there. I'd recommend ocnews as 1) It works ;) and 2) It's on github https://github.com/Buschtrommel/ocNews

But for KDE I'd much prefer an Akonadi based client as @cosenal mentions.

For great Linux desktop feed readers there’s also https://github.com/stayradiated/LightRead by @stayradiated and @consindo – do you plan on continuing that by the way?

As for responsive design, @jbtbnl and I will work on a general HTML+CSS+JS baseline for apps with that in mind. It’s a separate topic though.

[consindo]

@jancborchardt Nope. Lightread is dead - it was made just for the purpose of the Ubuntu App Showdown.

[jancborchardt]

@consindo ah, too bad. Thanks for the info anyway, and keep up the good work with the other projects!

[apastuszak]

Liferea support plugins. I wonder if someone could write a plugin.

[BernhardPosselt]

Open an issue in their bug tracker ;)

[jancborchardt]

@apastuszak @Raydiation as mentioned above, we already asked Liferea in the past: http://sourceforge.net/p/liferea/bugs/1087/ & https://github.com/lwindolf/liferea/issues/18

Feel free to ask again or work on it though.

[BernhardPosselt]

Closing this issue. Desktop clients can be viewed under https://github.com/owncloud/news/wiki/desktop-clients and there are none available. Also added links to the readme

[jangernert]

Hi (sorry fo mya bad english)

very nice jangernert, but I can test/use it because I'm using kubuntu 14.04 :(

[jancborchardt]

@jangernert cool stuff! :) I’d be up for betatesting. It would especially be cool to have offline support (which kind of is the point of a desktop app for me), so I threw some more money at you ;) https://www.bountysource.com/issues/26359407-offline-mode The mobile apps of @David-Development and @phedlund already do a great job at that.

[jangernert]

@jancborchardt thx, as you saw offline mode is already on my to-do-list. Regarding mobile apps: I guess you are talking about android apps? I'm on Jolla :D

[cosenal]

@jangernert Awesome, I will betatest right away. But please please, off-line mode! (Bountysource messed up my bitcoin transaction, one more bounty coming your way...)

Don't forget to add your app here: https://github.com/owncloud/core/wiki/Apps

[jancborchardt]

@jangernert yeah, Android (source) and iOS (source) :)
