Love Snackr. We are already using it in a number of business situations. What I find refreshing is that you made cut and paste a one step operation. Cool! We are going to use the same concept in our AIR apps as well. Thank you.

Any chance of removing the snackr tips? I appreciate them, but I should have the option of not showing them. I love this app. Would love to extend it. Any chance of the source code being released?

[...] qui travaille chez Adobe, a cré une nouvelle application AIR pour lire les flux RSS : Snackr. Snackr n’est pas un simple lecteur RSS – c’est un “RSS Ticker”, [...]

Oh! One more thing. The little tab at the top left of Snackr should somehow be…hideable. Or better yet, on the side, vertically. http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/9264/picture19sz9.png Take a look at me using Firefox and Snackr at the same time. Note that I’ve resized Firefox to fit around Snackr, but because of that translucent tab, I can’t really see the text in the status bar at the bottom left of Firefox. (It says “Done” in this case, but it also displays the URL of the link I am mousing over, which I frequently like to see.)

Been using it for a little while now, and loving it overall.

The only HUGE annoyance was being able to remove feeds. You can’t select more than one feed, and backspace/delete doesn’t delete feeds.

I clicked “sample feeds” at first to see what it was like, and then wanted to SWITCH to my own OPML file, but instead had to manually remove each of your sample feeds ONE BY ONE which was a bit painful. Quite painful. But I see this sort of thing has been mentioned before.

It would be nice to be able to have groups of feeds, so you could select the “news only” group when the boss steps in, and so on.

It looks really nice but the constant scrolling is too annoying to leave it open while I’m working. I’d love it if it were just a list of all the latest posts in my feeds that updated frequently so that I could see new posts as they come in. Otherwise it looks really good and I’d definitely use it if it were possible to stop the scrolling.

nice work NJ

few points to consider :
- highlight latest news
- able to filter OPML files before importing
- threshold for how many feeds to parse (I ve imported mnxa full OPML file and it was…slow…very…slow…
- mark title as favourite for future reading

Great app Im running all the day. 45 minutes for refreshing posts is good (till now I dont know how I can find this refreshing interval) but for some feeds, like 15 recent post from Adobe feeds it’s too long, so I erally appreciate to custom refresh interval for each feed. Maybe limit can be 10 or 15 mins interval, 45 can be default one )

I’m really looking forward for next version of this great app

@Alexander, @Brad–hopefully soon

@seth–yup, there are a couple of glitches with collapsing that still need fixing.

@James–I can’t seem to get to freshairapps.com right now–is the site down?
