I have the same problems with the new FF3.
are there any problems known with safari?

@hamad–thanks! I’m planning to make the post/send actions extensible in the future through the Options dialog, but in any case I’ll add a Facebook one in the next version.

Will definitely take a look at netvibes–now that we have one integration working, it should be easy to do others.

I don’t have a forum right now, so blog posts (or email to me) are best right now. You can also post bugs/feature requests to the bugbase at Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/snackr/issues/list

so great stuff here. a great app continues to improve and i am shocked that there exist no viable alternatives that i know of on osx – a usually vibrant small app platform.

i just downloaded .37 from google code and its much improved at least from what i can tell in the 30 mins using it. the stars finally work although i have yet to make much use of them. dont think they’re vital for this type of tool but not bad to have.

another thing i think is GREAT is the post/send actions. i really use these features much on other apps and the mail to is the best. one more i would ask for is ‘post to facebook’ much like the bookmarklet i already have on my browser. right now i can open the article in my browser and then click ‘post to netvibes’. two steps. no big deal for now.

finally i think something that could be considered is ‘netvibes’ integration. its my primary feed reader. its not important for me now though since i’ve separated my feeds between snackr and netvibes and like it that way so dont see how i can use it.

is there a better place to provide overall app comments and feedback than on blog posts?

Love it, but still holding my breath for Google Reader syncing. My fingers are crossed that that’ll be soon.

I just tried out the test version with the stars – also great! I’d love to be able to star something from the ticker itself, though…a common use case is that I’m watching it go by while working, and I’d like to read something, but don’t want to open the read view; just note something to open later…

I like it! Snackr is fantastic for snacking on news through the day…:)

One request I’ve got (you may have seen this already) – I’d love for clicking on feed items to open in the existing Firefox window that’s open, rather than opening a new window. I’m on OSX 10.x with Firefox 3…

@Pemo–haven’t tried FF3 yet. I can’t quite tell from your descirption what’s going on–is the problem that when you click on a feed in Firefox, you can’t get the feed URL? Sounds like some behavior has changed in Firefox. I’ll have to take a look.
