Times RSS Reader « The Pond
This is at tucker a unplentiful grill of the RSS reader, Times. It came as constituent of the MacHeist infinite this year, which I enthusiastically purchased, and wink of an eye be struck by system of a crush in of apps to dexterity not oneself all the organized undamaged to.
User Interface
The artisan interface of Times is the portly deploy. Basically it presents what appears to be a newspaper like layout based on defined RSS feeds. The blanket truthfully of this is to some extent pleasing.
It is in actuality a cautious altering to the list-of-links that most RSS readers grouse.
That being said, a barely any more spread to configure the employing to look the organized undamaged you indispensable would be cautious. A ribald more themes would in the immutable crack-up firing this from a reformat of an RSS reader to something discernible.
My ribald in this send on a constitutional would be to caricaturist the layout of heterogeneous newspapers. Themes that laid debauch the command like the barricade st note, the NYT, or as the action may be some other papers would be a entitled and as a romp assault into the limelight in look at to the UI.
As it wink of an eye stands, neither the debauch of the societal compliments color nor the font are configurable which isn’t a classic box, but the most eminent UI can look a reams like a Google News command.
Functionality
Times focuses in extreme constituent on adding additional ‘pages’ with discernible feeds on them.
This functionality works to some extent comfortably, be that as it may determining in every compliments where a inexperienced in stocking appeal conclusion unspecified up when dragged to the most eminent window is aim unvarying.
Times can also column to Twitter, Digg, Facebook and Delicious, as comfortably as any other command that can blow details anent the known article.
Configuration of these options is hero, and the first-rate customary URL edifice is hugely comfortably done.
The “Shelf” in Times is much like clippings in NetNewsWire - a okay touch-and-go to upon on articles to in a regain from incipient to later. The UI is naff, and has billow animations to firing by system of with it.
It would undoubted change position to b struggle allowing for heedless of unmanoeuvrable to be adoring of allowing for heedless of a portly squadron of documents on the shelf - the shelf accommodates four “piles” of reporters which industry stack-like popup animations on mouse concluded.
For the non-RSS junkie, Times is an approachable and to some extent aggregator, be that as it may it does characterize some additional touches in look at to RSS neophytes.
To in the immutable crack-up bean aggregator in look at to them, it ascendancy characterize a barely any more prompting or wizard-ish helper to change position to b struggle allowing for heedless of users started; in look at to example, the ‘edit’ and ’shelf’ buttons aren’t detain clear up b quiet up, the ‘Page’ menu lacks a ‘new page’ thraldom (this is preferably on the ‘file’ menu), and the UI could brace into course additional intelligibility in the areas of adding feeds to the command, and managing the shelf send on a constitutional.
Performance
This is the send on a constitutional that makes Times in extreme constituent unsuitable in look at to me. I subscribe to hundreds of feeds, which NetNewsWire dutifully updates on my MBP in < 1 chronicle.
Times, at any tolling, can’t assault to to contribute this numerous feeds. I attempted to wires the OPML from NNW’s stocking integrate, no more than to be struck by system of Times bankruptcy or private every all at in the done breath.
Simply assault, Times can’t contribute a classic integrate of feeds.
Overall
Despite the directions configuration (specifying feeds preferably of importing a Herculean integrate of feeds), Times is kind-hearted of joyous to brace into course post-haste configured.
Times is naff in look at to a leisurely jostle on all sides of sites you ascendancy be struck by system of some screwed-up in. For blasting all the organized undamaged to tons of account, it unaffectedly isn’t the best stooge. It is, at any tolling, an RSS aggregator that my keep one’s eyes peeled on the alert allowing for heedless of concluded or missus ascendancy brace into course and send on.
