Built in RSS Feed

luetage

Instead of using some clumsy third party RSS reader app on Android, I'd rather have Vivaldi providing us with the option right in the browser.

Possible features:

a way to import/input feeds
a simple display of new feeds which updates automatically
no reader needed, feeds should just link to the website/article directly

ROTFL

I'd love to have list of feeds synced between mobile and desktop in the future

@ROTFL Asking for an inbuilt rss reader for desktop was literally the second thing I did on these forums ^^

For me this is the best feedreader: Palabre, Of course there is also an offline function.

Exactly my wish

I more or less agree with you but I would like for Vivaldi to cache and store the feed for offline viewing if at all possible.
I wouldn't want Vivaldi's Rss to be just links to the website directly.

This is a feature I really need.
Most importantly I need to be able to get notifications about RSS entires occasionally,

I definitely agree, I'd love to see this feature and it would make total sense to me. I add feeds in the desktop browser and read them on the phone or tablet while on the go thanks to sync of the feed lists.

Such feature is great for science. Ideally one can read rss feed, label, reopen in browser, import to bibliography manager, and then write articles.

... and synchro with PC Vivaldi

I too would greatly appreciate both feeds on mobile and the ability to sync my feeds between desktop and mobile

RSS Feed is life...

Please Vivaldi make it possible. Additionally I'd like to see RSS feeds to be exportable (and importable from) to OPML files both desktop and mobile.

We want RSS Feed on Vivaldi .. It would be a game changer for bloggers/writers.

As Palabre was last updated in 2018, I was looking for an alternative.

I found “Feeder”

This app is open source.

Modern design, there is a light and dark mode, feed import / export in OPML format. Different feed views.

I am very satisfied with this feed app.

Created many different RSS-readers for android, and simple, with a minimum of functions, and complex, with a lot of settings. But I personally (so far!) can't imagine an RSS-reader built into android/Vivaldi. Actually, where and how, from a practical point of view, do you want to embed it?

What's it supposed to look like?
The thing is that even a simple RSS-reader needs a bunch of buttons and settings. How to place it in the browser is the question!

Right now, there is no free space in the Vivaldi interface, it seems to me.
Try to draw a mockup of how it could look like.

And if you make the reader very simple, such as now the "reading mode" tab and the "web page source code" tab, then - will you be satisfied with this simplicity?

@far4 It’s pretty clear where to put it, in the mobile “panel” alongside bookmarks, notes, &c. And yes, personally I would be satisfied with just a synced list of feeds from desktop. Little reason discussing it though; should it happen the devs will do what they think is best.

@luetage
Yes, I had envisioned that answer, but there's not a lot of room. There's not even enough room for Notes and Bookmarks. And you need to display related info: date-time, picture-photo thumbnails, titles and several preview lines, a lot of control buttons specific to rss/atom reader. And besides, what about users who don't work with desktop? - sorry, this already seems to be a "must ask" question.

Imho, both full-fledged Notes and Rss-Reader I can imagine only as a separate application with a bunch of settings and buttons, which will have the ability to synchronize with Vivaldi account.

Or... it'll be a stripped-down reader like Notes is now. Micro-reader with micro-ability.

I agree with others here, RSS/Atom support in the Android app with the ability to sync subscriptions between phone and desktop would be a game changer

casswinch

Completely agree ! I'm on IOS, with this features I can uninstall freshrss and netnewswire.
