Add RSS and Atom Reader
-
@LonM You will like it for sure. If it has the promising looks of Vivaldi Webmail with the development presently in progress, it can be nothing but good.
-
Rss feeder should be also a part of a more general monitoring solution like differential monitoring.
-
If and when this comes around, it would be nice if it could be plugged in to Sync. This poses some issues though: Given that some RSS feeds generate a lot of content, you don't want to clog the sync servers.
Ideally, the list of subscribed urls, folders, would be synced - that isn't any more space consuming than storing bookmarks, so a non-issue.
But it would also be nice if it could keep track of the actual messages that RSS subscriptions generate. E.g.
- if I have RSS feeds on 2 machines
- when they update a new article will get pushed to both
- I read / delete / operate on an article on one machine
- How do I avoid having to do the same action on the second machine?
Maybe if it just kept track of the timestamp or hash of a received article that would suffice.
I suppose this is one of the problems of a desktop RSS app as opposed to one of the web based solutions.
-
@LonM keeping track of state via a RSS item
guid
and syncing a state for each (or the most recent) should be easy.It may on the other hand be prudent to get ready ye olde pitchforks and torches if there are still feeds which do not use (or worse, wrongly use) this element. But this would break other readers as well…

no idea why you dont give m3 betas out for people who want to try it.
"we are working on it" is the answer, that we got also 4 years ago with my initial thread.
why that was then locked is the teams answer i guess, stop asking.https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/4033/vivaldi-m3-mail-client-when?page=1
i personally dont believe anybody is wokring on a mail client here.
its like the yeti, everybody talks about it, but not a speck of proof anywhere.. -

I think there are very few people who would want to try that because we are not talking about a computer game where you can easily spend a bit of leisure time trying/betatesting. With a mail client you can only really try when you have various accounts and lots of mails with different attachments coming in and going out. Plus you have the question of import from previous clients, IMAP and POP3, sync, etc.
But it is definitely not very helpful to be hearing the same "it's ready when it's ready" for several years with a little bit of "version X will contain the mail client" or "by the end of 20YY" thrown in every now and then. At some point you have to deliver or lose credibility.
-
They said that it will be released this year, along with the mobile version and other things, i could understand before the impatience but now that we have a timing I think we can relax.
For the speech not to release it to test I agree with @ghpy, even if some screenshots would not mind, the curiosity is still a lot.
For @schreck, i think that M3 is not like yeti, several users are testing it and it was accidentally released in an old version 1.xx, maybe somewhere i still have some screenshots.

for everyone interested: I picked up Smart RSS and am improving it, though due to googles weirdness (promotional image is required, whatever it is) and chropera not accepting my submissions it's only available in AMO currently
future Firefox builds probably won't load in Chromium browsers due to API limitations: extension can only contain one of PageAction and BrowserAction) so I'll provide Chromium (limited) package in GitHub releases
-
@zakius Smart RSS has already been picked up by a couple of other extension authors. If you take a look at chrome webstore, you will notice that there are at least 4 different versions out that started with smart rss as a base, and some others look eerily similar.

If the Web Panels could make an automatic reload, for me, this would be the ideal solution.
I hope that when they present their Feeds, it will be a similar thing.
-
@zakius It seems the auto refresh isn't working in web panels i assume this is a limitation of the panels?
-
-
@Folgore101 Automatic reload is horrible in case you want to run a chat as webpanel. At the moment webpanels do reload too often and unexpected anyway, at least on macOS.
-
@luetage Many pages already automatically refresh, yes. The chat pages being a good example.
But many others don't. And since we can add any page as a web panel, having the ability to make a specific panel refresh every few hours or so would be very welcome... This would be a "per panel" configuration, something that doesn't exist right now (although it would be nice to be able to edit the panel's URL too, sometimes, without having to delete and create a new one) -
Just to avoid this thread being de-railed by auto-reload discussion instead of RSS & Feeds, here are 2 more relevant requests:
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/29369/option-to-auto-reload-specific-web-panel-when-active
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/24149/auto-reload-options -
@LonM Thanks for posting some more requests for me to vote on
I appologize for the off topic. The only posts I could see in the current page of this thread were talking about auto reloading so I went along with it. Didn't pay enough attention to the title or notice that there was already another page full of posts about a different subject. I'll try to be more careful in the future.

This is the Best RSS Reader that I know of:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/feedbro/mefgmmbdailogpfhfblcnnjfmnpnmdfa
I have subscribed with him 450 Feeds, of course, by Vivaldi, but also Youtube, Instagram, Facebook and some news sites.
-
@luetage As mentioned by @pauloaguia, it would take a setting for each web panel and choose the function of the needs.
-
C'mon. Have a little more patience.

Personally I would not switch out M3 for any other mailer, including M2
Jon, being an Opera fan for more than a decade, I do remember well how demanding you were at M2 overhaul, and for all good reasons. Even now its faster, more robust, feature rich and convenient than any other mail client I tried, including the modern ones.
I'd still use M2 today if it supported 2-step Gmail Authentication, and could work through VPN, which is mandatory feature in this age, as many people spend days out with their laptops, and frequently check multiple email accs at libraries and public WiFi Hotspots.
