Freader

Now that Google Reader is over, why not use an open source Feed Reader ! Freader provides you with a simple page with all your feeds and the last item in them. You cannot read articles inside the application for now but it's on the TODO list !

You can see it in action in just a little Heroku app here ! Account creation take about 10 seconds, just try it !

Features

• All your feeds in a clear (and flat) UI
• All written with Node.js and Angular.js
• User management (creation, removing)
• Feed caching (one hour by default)

Requirement

• Node.js
• MongoDB

Installation

• Clone this repo
• Start your MongoDB server (modify the address if you need to in the config file)
• Start the server with 'npm start'
• You can now create a user and start adding feeds by connecting to localhost:3000 (you can change the port inside the config file)

Used

• Angular.js
• Bootstrap
• FlatUI by Designmodo

TODO

• Add organization on feeds with tabs / categories
• Get back the favicon from the feed
• Clean and remove all CSS in Bootstrap / Flat UI to keep only what's used
• Show the article directly in the application
• Impove the design and UX in general
