I'm Touched

Lots of people seem to like the newest version of RSS Bandit. The most recent praise was the following post by Matt Griffith

RSS Bandit is amazing

I've been a Bloglines user for almost a year. I needed a portable aggregator because I use several different computers. Then a few months ago I got a TabletPC. Now portability isn't as critical since I always have my Tablet with me. I stayed with Bloglines though because none of the client-side aggregators I tried before worked for me.

I just downloaded the latest version RSS Bandit. I love it. It is much more polished than it was the last time I tried it. Combine that with the dasBlog integration and the upcoming SIAM support and I'm in hog heaven. Thanks Dare, Torsten, and everyone else that helped make RssBandit what it is.

Also it seems that at least one user liked RSS Bandit so much that he [or she] was motivated to write an article on Getting Started with RSS Bandit. Definitely a good starting point and something I wouldn't mind seeing become part of the official documentation once it's been edited and more details fleshed out.

Sweet.

Yes, I agree. This version is very nice indeed. I particularly like the little green arrows that let me know which folders are being checked. One minor note: when finished checking, could you show a check mark (maybe green for success, red for failure) that stays around for about 5-10 seconds? Those little arrows come and go so quickly that I have no idea what's been checked and what hasn't.

I looked at RssBandit a while ago and picked SharpReader instead. Last week, I took another look at RssBandit and was blown away by how much it has improved since then.

It inspired me to get off my ass and get involved. As for my article about "Getting Started With RssBandit", it is definitely a first draft. I'd like to add a lot more detail to it and clean it up. I had to stop today due to another form of RSS (Repetitive Stress Syndrome).

Sorry about the double post. I don't know how that happened and how to delete the duplicate.

And yes, I am a "he". ;)

Dare...The close button in the title bar doesn't work. Minimize and Maximize both work but the Close does nothing.

So, does it pay well to develop RSS Bandit? :-)

RSS Bandit truly is amazing... I especially love the idea that it's open source. I'm always looking for well designed applications to learn from. Maybe one day I'll even submit a patch. Keep up the good work!
