NewsFlow, Google Reader client for Nokia N8 and N900

Posted on by

I’ve been really impressed with the latest Qt SDK 1.1 Technical Preview release since now I tend to launch Qt Creator instead of TextMate when editing QML files. Only bugs that I’ve found are the problems with the remote compiler so I still need Windows machine to compile apps to Symbian^3 platform.

With Qt SDK 1.1 I’ve been working on the next version of TwimGo but now I needed some break from that and got an inspiration for news reader from Nokia Reader which is a new RSS reader from Nokia Beta Labs.

I tend to use Google Reader heavily to read my feeds and didn’t like the idea of subscribing to feeds on another application. So this made me create a simple Google Reader client with Qt Quick, QML.

Application uses pure QML and JavaScript to access Google Reader API and displaying items. No custom C++ was written for the app. Application runs nicely on my Nokia N8 and N900. See how it runs on N8:

I’ll try to release this app soon if you’d like to try it out.

    HeyTommi,

    Thank a lot for your work. This is a fantastic tool to read my feeds and I love it.

    I was also thinking could you add offline reading so the app can store the news in the mobile to read later…

    Great work!

    Excellent but some of us need a home screen widget, we like it a lot to have a brief look at the homescreen for latest update
