FeedSpider: The Ultimate Cross-Platform RSS Reader

FeedSpider is the coolest RSS reader client originally developed for webOS, LuneOS, and Firefox OS, now extended to Android devices! This application is brought to you by Othello Ventures, with the permission and support of the webOS Archive.

FeedSpider embodies the webOS vision of creating applications that can seamlessly run across multiple platforms. By utilizing EnyoJS, a versatile cross-platform JavaScript library, this application supports a broad spectrum of devices. Initially created for legacy webOS devices, modern browsers, and even LG smart TVs, FeedSpider has been adapted to work perfectly on Android as well. This ensures a consistent user experience regardless of the platform.

One of the unique aspects of FeedSpider is its reliance on a backend service. For webOS users, there’s an instance hosted specifically for them, allowing easy access without any setup hassles. However, if you prefer more control over your data and services, you’re encouraged to set up your own instance. All the necessary resources, including the source code for both the app and the backend, are available on GitHub: github.com/codepoet.

FeedSpider not only brings the power of webOS to Android but also promotes a community-driven approach to software development, where users have the flexibility to choose how they interact with their data.
