BlogBridge: a very beautiful news reader
I have just imported all my jnn feeds into BlogBridge a very beautifully designed free news reader written in java. The porting required a bit of vi hacking to turn the semicolon separated list into a opml file that the reader imports. BlogBridge uses the JGoodies library.
Right now I am playing with the star system, to help one rank one's feeds. I'll see how I get along with it. They sure have paid attention to details in the GUI.

Note on comments:
- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
