Suggestions
From Akregator
Add your suggestions for later versions of aKregator:
- Minimal podcast (simple?)
- Filter Duplicates
- Granular notifications
- RegEx Feeds Filter
- Spam filter: like for Security Focus (text spam), and Slashdot (image spam... only in a few entries, but still annoying... there should be the possibility to block all images, BTW, to avoid some possible advanced tracking, like using an image with a different URL, for each entry, to get statistics on which specific entries are read).
- Select first article when selecting feed
- Tag cloud interface
- Marking/Categorization - facility to create categories for tagging [i.e. Important, Personal, To Do, etc.] and a way to display by tags
- Allow marking feed posts into various categories and importance classes (for example like in Google Reader) rather than just mark them as important. Perhaps fetching the original tags from the blog posts when available? This would allow for contextual and somewhat semantic way of managing and organising a large amount of feeds in Akregator.
- Option to start minimized to the tray.
- Hotkey to minimize to and restore from the tray.
- Support for KDE global shortcuts (eg. download all feeds)
- Add a button to mail a newsitem to someone.
- Allow easy plugin creation for akregator. (The above might be a plugin)
- Some kind of syncing (e.g. to/from google reader). For example, I have a desktop and a laptop (and the connection is not always fast enough for X forwarding), and I'd like to read all the news only once. An rsync hack can probably be done via ssh, but it's crude.
- Allow switching the rendering engine for posts that are opened into Akregator tabs. Currently some Blogger etc. users are using fonts that are practically unreadable in the Konqueror rendering engine(?) which Akregator uses and I have to open them into Firefox.
- Show alternative links on the post header (when viewing the post).
- Integrate text-to-speech. Have something like espeak or festival, read the feeds out loud.[1]
- Create virtual folders containing the result of a search request in a given set of feeds (ex: Create a folder displaying all the articles that contain the word "kde" in the title and/or in the summary). Such a folder would have to be updated each time a feed is fetched.
