X-notifier to become RSS reader (notifier)?

By Vlada T , 19 March 2013

Hello Tobwithu,

this just came to my mind, and just wondering did you maybe think about this - do you have aspirations to create xnotifier capable to read and notify rss contents? :D

After googles announcement that they will shut down google reader on 1st July 2013, I have been searching for a good replacement, and found out that I would need another chrome extension, another rss reader etc, for following my rss feeds, and just came to my mind that it would be really great if X-notifier would become capable to notify and maybe to read rss's. :D

Someone else requested this on twitter.
I'm thinking about how to implement it.

Thanks Tobwithu, wonderful. I didn't know that.

Collective consciousness is definitely ready to help you to create this. :D

I've tested now xnotifier 3.2a and when I click on the RSS in the icon ,to see what will I get, I got the page Add to Google:

I have 28 unreaded texts here ( checked in another rss reader ), and xnotifier don't notify me in the icon in the status bar. It still says No new messages.

It seems that you set to always use Google for feeds.
Open Firefox Options -> Applications -> Web Feed
    Set to 'Preview in Firefox' or 'Use X-notifier'
