Add RSS and Atom Reader
-
@Pesala That's what I have despite its security flaws, its indices and mails losses... : D
but hardly sustainable... -
@luetage none of these are actually supported and I needed one that would work in Firefox
@joao.rossa Mozillas repo
@stardepp it has some great features and is fast and stable but it lacked some of things that are crucial for me
Chromium builds of SmartRSS are available on GitHub as I can't update on CWS now, Firefox version is my daily driver for few months and I'm almost perfectly satisfied but biggest issues come from API limitations so it can't be helped

The mail client is the one of the only two features I care about (the other one being the ability to edit tab and context menus and toolbars). I'm still using Opera 12.18 just for mail. You keep adding gewgaws while seeming to forget to work on basic functionality and customizability. Even so, it's far better than anything else.

Gewgaws was a new word for me. The developers have been working constantly on Mail and Mobile version for years. Customisability still lags far behind Opera 12.18, but some improvements have been made such as the ability to move toolbar buttons with Shift+Drag. The team is small and the wish-list is very large (currently 1,996 feature request threads).
Head over to the modifications forum if you cannot wait. Much can be done with the help of CSS, but not editing of menus.
-
Can we coders help somehow? Is there an open source part of the project or dependencies where we can contribute to Vivaldi (not including the mods)? I'm sure there would be plenty of Pull Requests if the code was not only public but also editable (I mean "real" open source).
-
@bimlas Sorry. It's not open source, and not meant to be open source. There is no way for users to contribute to code that has not been made public.
For code that can be audited by the public, modifications can be offered to the team, reviewed by them, and accepted or not. In the past, users have contributed in this fashion to UI code.
But this is not open source, and outside developers/coders are not able to make commits.

Mobile version
as long as desktop version is not production ready other platforms and sync are waste of time though

not really, feature request was wrongly closed as done despite it being experiment/proof of concept level of implementation

that's one of biggest flaws of this project, it desperately needs more manpower to become viable
-
@zakius I have been using Vivaldi as my default browser for years. Your claim about it not being production ready is false.
The feature request was closed for good reason. One can now move buttons around. Implemented features can be improved. To vote for Customisable Toolbars if you haven't already done so.
One of your biggest flaws is to regard things as half empty when they are already more than half full.Please, stop your trolling. It is getting tiresome.

You're entitled to you opinion. Jon and the team, who own the browser and have built multiple viable projects over the last couple of decades, have a different opinion. Having tracked their progress since 1999, my money is on Jon and the Team.

@Gwen-Dragon The topic has been discussed to death already in this thread. The original feature request thread can be found here

Don't think this feature is really needed: browser must do 1 job. The history shows us that this is true: other whistles are very simple and there always better be fully functional alternative. For example for RSS: why not just use a service like Feedly?

How do Feedly make their Fee? There are always privacy concerns when using extensions or third-party services. We trust Vivaldi not to sell our data.

cause no service has a proper UI and to make it worse their APIs are bad enough to make working with them a real pain, some services don't support all basic features, a lot of reasons
sync is nice to have but not at the cost of comfort on main device -
@stardepp
Sorry for this late answer. But still today (Version Vivaldi 2.8) this is a very boring and buggy way to use feedbro correctly into the panel. In fact, you can not trust it into the panel. I've just restart the browser itself. -
@Gwen-Dragon
I like feedbro extension indeed. But this is only an extension. If Vivaldi would make the difference, I strongly believe to integrate this service into the basic browser. Precisely, Vivaldi shouldn't integrate a rss reader but a larger tool for monitoring info streams whose one technical element is rss feeder, the other is differential monotoring.

I kept fingers crossed that 2.10 would be made into Vivaldi 3 that would include mail. Alas, more waiting it seems, as the first post 2.9 snapshot was released.
-
I keep my fingers crossed with each version and I am always dissapointed. Maybe Vivaldi 3 will carry it.

Expectations frequently lead to disappointment.
Maybe Vivaldi 3 will carry it.
Maybe it will.

Considering we're only on 2.11, it could be a long wait.

@fred8615 I don't think one should assume that Vivaldi has to count from 11 to 99 before ver. 3 appears.
