Scoop - added to Adobe AIR Marketplace

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 | Adobe AIR, General | 4 Comments

The current version of Scoop Beta (0.30) got added to the Adobe AIR Marketplace today - great news for publicizing this new Google Reader Client tool. It’s great to finally be at Beta stage with this AIR application. Here are a few new features on the roadmap:

  • Mark all as read button (you can already achieve this by scrolling the unread list but still would be useful)
  • Image caching (currently all text gets stored offline but images don’t)
  • Sharing capabilities - (digg it, facebook, recommendations for other Scoop users etc)
  • Folders/sub folders (so users can organize their feeds and tags)
  • Export/import OPML files

Let me know if you’ve got any other requests?

Scoop Beta (v0.25) just launched

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 | Adobe AIR, General | No Comments

The first public beta of Scoop - version 0.25 - is now available as a free download.

Scoop is an RSS Feed Reader Adobe Air Application with offline/online Google Reader syncronization built in. It keeps track of multiple Google Reader accounts simultaneously. Read, tag and star your scoops/posts on the train or wherever you like and Scoop will syncronize your changes with Google when you’re back online.

Current features included in this first Beta:

  • Offline mode - all new posts/feeds get stored locally + offline changes you make get syncronized with Google when you’re back online
  • Instant notifications of new scoops/posts from your favorite blogs and websites.
  • Popular Google Read keyboard short cuts like J/K for moving forwards and backwards through your reading lists.
  • Auto-update feature - the application will alert you when a new version of Scoop becomes available.
