i have been wanting an app like this SO bad, now i wont have to check 10 different websites for all the latest news!

cyberprashant · 02:40 AM

Thanks!! I will add slashdot next and plan up to 15-16 sites. Then future versions would allow you to customize which rss feeds you want shown. A dropdown would be at the top to choose which feed you want to look at (where teh button is now).

xyther4523 · 08/02/2009, 02:39 AM

im already in love with the program (even if the refresh doesnt work).
ive always wished for something like this but never thought of requesting it..this app saves me more time & data than you know!

Cool - Just check to make sure you are using 0.0.3 or higher. Go to top left menu and choose about TechTrayPre. Try out my nifty windows desktop version too: Techtray for windows

Am I missing something? I do not see the IPK file anywhere, on the forum on the poster's website.

nztcomputers · 08/02/2009, 08:54 AM

Cool app. Where is the link?

Jeffdc5 · 08/02/2009, 09:56 AM

How do we download the app?

I am not sure, but I think you are looking for x-mojo-element="Drawer"

killersiafu · 08/02/2009, 11:08 AM

Can you post the ipk file? It looks like you still need to get approved for Developer status by precentral as well.

Also, can you list the RSS feeds that are included? I saw in the description you can 'customize' the feeds. Can we add new feeds / remove exiting etc?

Thanks. I need to do a lot more reading on the Mojo Interface. Also, is the font a little too small, shall I take it up a notch on next release? (I could add an options menu too)

grifterz · 08/03/2009, 10:42 PM

Thank you

App looks great.. I love news apps.. Is there any way to use filecoaster for this I can't copy the link.. And I'm at work with no pc.. Thanks

cyberprashant · 10:29 PM

For now you'll need to install using the WebOS installer in dev mode...or just manually type the file link below into filecoaster.

I hate to say it but using Google reader is much better. You can easily add RSS feeds to it and access it from anywhere. I am so happy it is all centralized without having to re-set up feeds all over again.

Now take this program and make it a Google Reader front end that is better than the mobile web site version and you will really have something. I am just tossing that out there! i

thegeniusfiles · 08/04/2009, 04:02 PM

I will install this app when it allows adding custom feeds. I'm not a developer, but is it possible to hook this app into the web browser in order to subscribe directly from an RSS link?

Another reason to use Google reader, each web site allows you to easily add feeds to your reader.
