eNewsReader

eNewsReader is a ground-breaking program for AmigaOS, which allows you to easily keep track of tens (or even hundreds!) of news sources. You no-longer need to visit many websites every day or week, on the off-chance there might be something new. And by centralizing all your news sources in one place, you will save masses of time, so it's great for people with busy lives. Not only does it keep track of which news items you have read, but it keeps track of items you have seen.

Features:

  • Supports Facebook & Twitter, as well as the more traditional RSS & Atom feeds.
  • Uses a custom transactional database to efficiently store & retrieve huge amounts of news items.
  • Easily see the news items of a single feed, or several feeds at once (or even all of them).
  • Organize your feeds by tagging them, and then choose to see only those feeds (and their news items) that have certain tags.
  • Individual news feeds can be filtered, hiding news items whose titles contain certain words or phrases.
  • Detects & stores updated news items, so you can see the latest version of a news item, as well as the older versions you previously downloaded.
  • Search for news items whose titles contain certain words or phrases.
  • Written entirely using the PortablE programming language, hence the "e" in eNewsReader.
