Support for non web based readers #21

Even if it's not an official standard, I suggest adding support of the feed:// URI scheme. Many desktop apps support it.

julien51 commented 11 years ago

True, I believe we should add it both when the user clicks on a feed:// link, as well as use it to enable non web feed readers.

pfefferle commented 11 years ago

what about the html5 custom schemes like "web+subscribe:" for example?

julien51 commented 11 years ago

Same, I believe we should add support to them as well!

julien51 commented 11 years ago

Well, I just did a test and that should actually work just fine, if the desktop app registers with SubToMe (by opening the user's browser at the right page), registers with a feed:// URL.
