This is what I’ve been reading my feeds from for the past couple of days :).

I promised the guys on the dev team I’d keep it quiet until we had more kinks ironed out, but I’ve got to say that I’m so excited and over the moon that the new FOFRedux UI is now a part of the trunk code and looking SUPREME, that I had to share that bit of news with everyone. If you’re asking yourself what FOFRedux actually is, then I suggest you go over to the project page to find out a bit more about it all.

If you’re interested in actually trying it then I suggest you DOWNLOAD the latest snapshot. Remember this is NOT the latest STABLE version. This is STILL in development, so things can still go wrong. There are still loads more work to be done, but it’s still better than 50% of the other feed readers out there. Give it a few more versions and it’ll the best feed reader on the net.

One thing that I’ve definitely noticed is that after using it for a couple of days it’s made reading my feeds that much more enjoyable, which to my mind was/is the whole point of the redesign. Make the programme more fun and more intuative to actually use. I feel extremely proud to be a part of this team and supremely overjoyed with the overall results. In my mind this is a fantastic example of how great things can be achieved in an open source project and I’d really like to thank the team for accepting me into the group and allowing me to contribute to the project.
