Hello,
GreatNews RSS portable stand alone reader from www.curiostudio.com is now
Open Source and sure would look good in my PortableApps Platform menu under
Firefox.
This program uses Internet Explorer somewhat but everybody has that in Windows.
How hard would it be to convert it to a PortableApps portable program and
install it in our menu with the other PortableApps Platform programs ?
Open Source for this became available this month.
THX.

some people dont have the same version of IE
Also why when Firefox has its own RSS reader.
I think it will use IE 6 on up.
Firefox is OK for a few feeds, no doubt.
This program handles bigger feeds, of course.
Watches, labels, and blogs, too. It was just
better than the Firefox extensions available
that I know of.

is that it is more than a little difficult to keep the data that gets written out portable.
In other words, every feed you scan, ever article you read, all that juicy private data, will end up in the cache and the history of the local internet explorer on the local computer.
I let Google spy on me using Google Reader instead. It's a lot more clandestine, yet gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling knowing that I'm safe in Google's hands. Plus it's web-based so inherently portable.
Failing that, I'd probably use Thunderbird, I've yet to be really convinced of the usefulness of dedicated feed reader apps.
Thanks for bringing this to the attention of the masses though.
checked if the "unzip and run" version that they have in their download section is portable?
BTW, there is RSSOwl in paf version somewhere in this forum...
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
Yes, they claim the zip version is very portable.
It might just use Internet Explorer for Bookmarks so switching that file to a Firefox file doesn't sound to hard. The built-in browser isn't bad either.
