Drop Feeds RSS by dauphine-dev

Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 13487987, 6 years agoThis RSS-feeds-manager needs a 3 vertical column layout, one for feeds, another vertical column for article-titles, and the third one for article-content. Also it needs a dark theme.
I will wait for this upgrades, and then I will raise my stars.
EDIT - ANSWER TO THE DEV: All the most used RSS-feeds-manager has a 3 vertical column layout. IMO it is a must. Please, take a look at FeedBro, NewsFox and others, and you will see that the 3rd vertical column layout is perfect, and works perfect. At this layout, normally the column-widths are customizable, so there is no problem at all with visibility. Users decide each column-width. The benefit of this layout is the possibility of having a larger vertical list of feeds in the first column, a larger vertical list of titles in the second column, and one article-content in the third column, everything in one screen at the same time. Your add-on doesn't allow that. Please, take a look over the most used add-ons, perhaps you can be inspired by these add-ons.
EDIT 2: I rise my qualification to 5 starts, regarding the excellent attitude of the developer "dauphine-dev". He seems an open-mind person, open to suggestions, and willing to improve his add-on based on user requests. Congratulations and thank you.

posted 6 years agoThank you for you review and your requests :-)
Drop feeds has already 2 vertical column layout one for feeds, another vertical column for article-titles (option Items / Feed items list).
I will think to add a 3rd column for article content (but I am not sure it is good idea because articles will display in small area, and will be difficult to read, but if it is what users want, then I will do it)
Yeah you are right, Drop feeds needs a dark theme.
But these improvements will not come on the next version 0.9 (close to be ready and coming soon) but may be in 0.9.1 or 0.9.2 you will see ;-)
Edit:
Like as I said I will do it (3rd vertical column layout), and yes I will take a look to other RSS addons.
Edit2:
Thank you :-)
Edit3:
- I have take a look to FeedBro but I haven't the 3rd layout in the left column, but may be I haven't look well.
- I have tried too to take a look to NewsFox, but is not compatible with actual Firefox version, and I have tried to install it on Firefox 56, but unfortunately it has failed (I haven't investigate why...), then I haven't no example to base on, and see what you expect exactly...
- Any way I have made a 3rd layout, it is available on github: https://github.com/dauphine-dev/drop-feeds/releases/tag/0.9.1alpha4 . If you have any remarks please tell me in the discussion thread devoted to this development here : https://github.com/dauphine-dev/drop-feeds/issues/64
Have fun with Drop Feeds 0.9.1alpha4 ;-) (it is a incomplete work, but it is a working version)

The 3rd layout and dark themes are now available in Drop Feeds version 0.9.1
