iRSS: another RSS reader for iPhone is born.

Well, since I could not find a rss reader that I liked on iphone, I decided to make my own.

Mdigger was cool but I didnt like the idea of webclips. It is also pretty tugly!

I also tried newsgator but I hated the fact that I couldnt just add feeds from the interface! How silly is that? It does tell you the unreads but won’t let you manage your feeds!

As a native app on the cracked iPhone you can also get smart rss reader. It is a cool app with stunning transitions but not a webapp, so unless your iPhone is cracked…

It’s very basic at the moment. All it does is displaying a set of feeds off a database. The basic idea is there, I need to work on more functionality. I’ve got the autodiscovery working, the clean URL rewrite as well and most of the database structure is set.

Eventually it will have user registration and OPML import/export. I will not however support grouping. I don’t think its necessary on a mobile device at this stage.

Here are the screenshots of the first beta of iRSS.
