RSS / Today screen -- comments
Short version: could someone please recommend an RSS reader that
(1) shows a list clickable unread items in its Today screen plugin (not a scrolling line, but an actual proper list of items, like 10 lines or so)
(2) can auto-update the content (without me having to click anything manually)
Long version:
I was looking for an RSS reader that can show a long list of unread items on the Today screen, so that I can immediately see if anything is interesting, and click to read if I like. I have enough screen space, so I don't want to use a scrolling line.
I found only one reader so far that can show the item list -- Spb Insight. I can tell it how many items I want to see, so I'm very happy with this plugin. Unforunately, Spb Insight has one major shortcoming, which makes it unusable for me: it cannot auto-update the content. I actually have to start the software and tell it to refresh. Many people asked for the auto-update feature on Spb's forums, but it seems the Insight team stopped the development of this product (last update was in early 2007).
I then tried two other excellent readers: Egress and Newsreader. Egress unfortunately only shows a scrolling line on the Today screen, and cannot display a full list of items. Newsreader's plugin is simply worthless: it shows the number of unread items (like I care).
A6.time was a promising product, but the developer shut down last month.
PocketRSS has been abandoned as well, with the last update in June 2006.
Any help much appreciated.
