This project intends to provide a free (as in freedom) alternative to web news readers and bookmarking apps.

It is built around the following analogies:

1. You contemplate the river of news flowing down from your selection of sources.
2. You can then use a sieve to filter out and collect the most interesting links.

A demo is at http://wateronmars-demo.herokuapp.com

For the curious developers the aim is also to provide the base mechanics for news and bookmarks manipulations. For instance, there is now a "good enough" database scheme, a RESTful API and a "not too ridiculous" UX.

Everything is set up to start experimenting new features around the admitedly old-fashioned theme of news feeds and bookmarks !

Features

  • Read news from web feeds
  • List your collection of bookmarks
  • Bookmarklets let you add bookmarks and feeds
  • A tablet-friendly view lets you swipe among the news
  • A mailbox-view (plus keyboard shortcut) lets you browse the news efficiently
  • Import bookmarks from Netscape-style bookmark list files (as exported by delicious.com)
  • Import subscriptions from OPML files (as exported by most feed readers)
