This is fantastic. I tried it with a few other feeds and it worked perfectly. Support Atom and we'll have a complete news reader in ahk!

By the way if you really wanted to you could program the reader in XSLT and javascript, and have ahk/xpath parse and validate the document at the backend (no XmlHttpRequest or you'll be copying Google Reader). I believe this is how Firefox/IE7 works.

Thats not the problem. The sytnax of Atom feed xml is almost the same as that of RSS. I have no time right now to involve my self into the complete RSS reader, but its true that I am not happy with any of those I tried. I think that it can be done in AHK better, smaller, faster and more flexibile then any available solution


You mean by using JSXML Tools ?

I would be interested in an AHK based XML Feed Reader script

just for test -

Your XML file is not well-formed, it contains unquoted node attributes.

Check out the new ver.

Much improved.

Now it works. It's just that AHK can't display Unicode.

Now there is separator between Tree View and IE control.

You definitely know what people want! Thanks.

Another small update - clik on the links in IE control will run the link in default browser.

nice! small and fast indeed.


is it possible to stack several feeds on the left or why are they able to fold?


Im only missing a filter function..any chance of adding that?

This is only the proof of the concept with all basics worked out.

I don't intentend to update it so far, until I finish other things I do.


Yes, it requires simple code changes (generaly just to save feed xml on hard disk wich I don't do now, I use it from memory so old feed is lost)

About filtering, all kind of things are possible, and some not seen by me in other feeders - like, associating sounds with different user posts, ignroing users completely etc...

Next thing I want to see is how to implement XSLT transformations so you can have different skins for the posts. It turns out that all browsers support XSLT transformations and also MS DOM parser that I use to read XML. I will probably rip off some open source templates from RSS Bandit (dot Net uber rss reader, great features but you can't imagine anything slower and more resource hungry)

ah ok, i still think ill use it ..some application readers ive tested have alot of annoying things like animation, tooltip notifiers and other fancy crap that make it slow, but the feeds barely work. The best i found is Feedreader but it also have some annoying things imo

And its nice if i can use ahk so that i dont need another program. Although there is aggregators through web also

Skins as in style it with css?
