please have it somehow sync with netvibes.com if at all possible since many people use that platform and it rocks.

if not then what i plan to do is migrate my ‘maybe to read’ feeds to the ticker and leave my ‘must read’ feeds on netvibes to be sure i get to them once in a while but i am surprised that this does not seem to exist on the mac before (or i have not found it).

i’ve even posted about snackr here: http://www.carrotchutney.com

keep us posted on how this develops

Yeah, I saw the thin post thing as well, but i must tell you. This little feed reader rocks!!

if it sync’d with google reader I’d be in internet heaven right now! lol

Thanks for such a wonderful little app!

Keep up the good work!

@Chris: The ticker is actually just a custom component; I manually create a child container and scroll it around.

@Patrix: Items do keep showing up again if you don’t read them, but once you’ve read an item it shouldn’t show up again. However, there’s a bug right now where the same item can show up multiple times in rapid succession (this happens if you have a feed with only one or two items in it)–the next version should mostly fix that.

Love the app. Was wondering how many times is an item displayed from the feed? Does it reappear if you’ve clicked and read it? It shouldn’t.

This thing is great! I’ve been trying to learn Flex myself and was playing around with the concept of a stock ticker widget. I’d love to see the source when you feel comfortable about it… I think this is a great example of what AIR can do. What’s the ticker itself? A modified Tile List? I like the chrome as well.

@Danny: Ah, I hadn’t thought of using bitmap caching (or filters, which have the same effect). I’ll definitely have to try that out.

@rone: Finally, an easy feature request! I should be able to sneak that in soon.
