If you decided to retire the Reader, i will suggest to share the source code so others could take it and keep developing this great (but minimal :good:) app...

It is only a suggestion, it is your app and you decidde what to do with it, of course. :)

Thank you!

I preferred solution no.1, since feedly now the most people chosen for Google reader alternative.
[Android Apps and Games] arby80:
I don't want to switch to pure widget. I hope you save this app and use feedly or some other api. Even though I can see your frustration with twitter.
[Android Apps and Games] Zahih:
Hi Joenrv,

Any good news from Minimal Reader?

Still the best reader & widget for me...
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
Would be awesome if this could come back.
[Android Apps and Games] Twski:
Indeed :/
[Android Apps and Games] DroidShift79:
I would love to see minimal reader come back with the possibility to add own RSS links.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Div033:
I recommend checking out Press. Their widget was the only one I could find that compares to this one in terms of look, feel and general usage. It doesn't have nearly as many settings but its been working fine for me. You'll have to set up a feedly account and set up the feeds through that, but Press displays them great. It does cost $3 I believe.
[Android Apps and Games] dsa88:
I replaced it with Reader+

Worth of checking.
[Android Apps and Games] Twski:
Same here. The reader us pretty sinple and fast for Reading, but the widgets dont look so good and dont have ccustomization :(

I really miss mininal reader
[Android Apps and Games] dboss007:
I also replaced with Press and definitely don't find it as good as Minimal Reader was. However, it looks like the dev built something in a similar category to Minimal Reader, which connects to Feedly. Almost seems like his basis for not upgrading Minimal Reader is now moot... I'd LOVE to know if he's planning a relaunch of Minimal.

[Android Apps and Games] Div033:
Very interesting development! The app currently doesn't work for AOSP (at least, some guy with a Nexus 4 was having the same issue as I was, endless red line loading) and there isn't a widget which is something I require. But I will definitely keep an eye out on this! Thanks for the heads up.
[Android Apps and Games] Zahih:
Wow thanks for the Info.

Gonna try this...

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

Really love this brand new reader flyne app...

So smooth and elegant UI.

I just bought the pro version for feedly integration.

Great app Joenrv.. :thumbup::thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] dsa88:
I was using Minimal Reader primary because of clean and fast widget. In Flyne there's no widget yet, hoping to soon update.
[Android Apps and Games] Kismet010:
Hi, I would like to suggest this:

(1) I don't see 'Favourites' by your app in 'Starred' on GReader, I need it to automatically do stuff with ifttt website.

2. I'm listening here that the app is fast. Well, in my poor Wildfire, switching between columns is laggy.

(3) Like others saids, reorder label's columns.

4. I have a custom font installed. I'd like to use it on the app.

5. Separate button for 'mark all as read'.

6. Option to disable picture to less data consumption.

7. Since 'sort by magic' & 'like' button disappear from GReader, I switch to tweetdeck for his filter functionallity. Them, Twitter buy it. Now, I have to read a lot of information that I won't. So, any filter or sorting option to prioritize feed's items would be awesome.

I see (1) & (3) in your todo list :)

Thanks for this app!
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
There seems to be some formatting issues when Gawker owned sites have items on the widget:

As you can see with Gizmodo and Lifehacker, there's an extra line after the title and also a large indent. This wasn't present in 2.6 with these sites.
[Android Apps and Games] DnaPolymerase:
I had a problem a few days ago. My default news feed app (taptu, just for the records) had become too bloated to be used and I decided to open the android market to find an alternative. Please notice: even though I used Google Reader back in the days, I still think a plain xml feed is best suited towards my needs. It's easier to download, to browse and sometimes it delivers the full text. GoogleReader takes ages to sync for offline reading, that's why I don't use it. I mostly read my news when I'm not connected to the internet, so I just use to download the feed and then read it offline.

I checked almost every app tagged with "rss feed", but all failed under one aspect: the possibility to deliver full text of the article and offline reading. Taptu always did this quite well because it doesn't take its feed from google reader but from the rss feed of the website itself, that's why I ended up using it.

Now, going to Minimal Reader: it's a great looking app, I was hoping it would support also normal xml feeds not imported from Google Reader but this is not the case. Would It be possible to implement the possibility to add rss feeds directly? And to download the full text of the article?

Thanks, all the best for the app regardless the answer.
[Android Apps and Games] ArmanUV:
Beta is running very fast and smooth on my galaxy nexus. Here is my (very) detailed feedback:

1. it's hard to distinguish between read and unread items by just looking at the darkened summary text. I suggest darkening the title of articles as well.

2. I'd love to see integrated readability/instapaper mobilizer functionality. What I mean is that instead of loading a mobilized web view from instapaper, the full article text is extracted from the mobilizer service and the original rss article is replaced with the parsed full text.

I've only seen this feature in the Reeder app for iOS/Mac (the king of mobile rss readers and the only thing I miss from iOS). Reeder uses readability to parse the text, I'm not sure if the required APIs are public though.

3. I suggest renaming some of the strings to match the terminology used in Google Reader and desktop RSS apps. For example, "All items" instead of "Reading list"; To me, "Reading List" implies a list of articles that you save to read later (starred/favorites), not the main list of all items.

4. the "Mark all as read" button should require a confirmation.

5. This one is probably gonna end up at the very end of your to do list but I'd love to see pull down and pull up gestures for articles. I frequently add articles to Pocket (former read it later) and it'd be so much easier to perform a pull gesture rather than pressing the share button and selecting Pocket (it's slow when you have a lot of apps).

6. It'd be nice to have the option to just show the article titles in the list (no summary or image).

Overall, this is one solid beta. I'd gladly pay for the pro version when it's released to play store. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Kismet010:
Widget doesn't show feeds. Also it could be possible to change the app icon in widget? To fit my theme, simple grey would be nice (like buttons from it right).

For last, sync with GReader does not work, if I add another feed in the website I can't see in the app
[Android Apps and Games] AlessandroIT:
Bug Report:

Actually, i've over 300 Unread Feeds in Greader.

However, when i sync minimal reader, it shows only 31 feeds (both unread, and "all")

User Report:

This application is awesome and much better than Greader, and any RSS Feed i've seen to date..(Flipboard..What?!)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks for all the feedback guys, it's really helping me out.

I can't answer personnaly to every request (I'm at work atm), but I read them all and add them to my (ever growing) TODO list.

I'll select the most important features and try to implement them all quickly to bring you a new version asap.

Thanks again for all the constructive feedback
[Android Apps and Games] ArmanUV:
After 2 days of use, I'm finding the sync function to be buggy. Google reader shows 66 unread but Minimal shows 351! I had to clear data to make it work again.

Oh and the icon is a little too big, bigger than every other app on my galaxy nexus.
[Android Apps and Games] AlessandroIT:
+1

Same issue here.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Do you use the "Reading List" import ? or by label ? Also do you mark items as read on Minimal Reader ?
[Android Apps and Games] AlessandroIT:
I did "Import Full Reading List", and yes, many times i marked all items read.

Moreover, when i mark all items as read in MinimalReader, feeds still shows unread in GReader (Web)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Ok I'll investigate. Thanks for the report.
[Android Apps and Games] 5Lire:
let's try this beta, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ArmanUV:
I tried both reading list and by feed.

Btw, what is the best way to import everything?
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
To import all your google reader, Full reading list is the most efficient. To import a selection of your subscriptions, labels are the most effective.
[Android Apps and Games] Kismet010:
Sync is buggy, it never stops and accumulate items forever. Also, go into an article and reverting back is problematic due to lag refreshing the list. I notice that this happen recently, not at first time.

Hope that this help to make the best app!
[Android Apps and Games] Paradoxxx:

I'm a Google Reader heavy user, been looking for black theme. I'm definitely going to try this one.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hey guys !

Just updated the APK on the first post, v3.0.1 is available for download !

Changes :

- Greatly optimized the navigation within the app

- Added possibility to re order columns (hit Manage in the "browse" column)

- Added option for background synchronisation

- Changed the icons a bit (still needs work though)

More to come soon.

As usual, give me your feedback :)
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Ill redo the icons on wednesday. I know what is wrong
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
What's the difference between this newly added background synchronization and what we had previously?
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Good question.

It's basically the same except it refreshes all your columns rather than just what's selected on the widget.

If you activate the app refresh, the widget one is useless, you should deactivate it (set it to manual)

In the end all the refresh will be controlled by the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
3.0.1 is awesome.

Thanks for taking some of my suggestions. Everything looks perfect now.

I'm still having a minor issue with this however: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25790887&postcount=22

Hope it gets fixed before it comes outta beta.
[Android Apps and Games] mihairu:
I have FC when i want to run it :/

I load my all feeds from google reader and everything is fine, then i add feed from lamer.cz and now it force closing...
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Thanks. Really nice widget.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Could you send me the log using Sendlog from the play store ?
[Android Apps and Games] Kismet010:
One day with 3.0.1, told you what first impression gave me by email, but:

Important bug:

Sync does not work correctly, it takes too much time. I usually let it and then come back to the app and sometimes it get refreshed, but take a lot more time to mark as read in GReader site.

If you need any test/log just tell me :)
[Android Apps and Games] ArmanUV:
Thanks for 3.0.1, but sync is still very buggy and slow. For example, My reading list correctly shows 20 unread items, then I go to google reader and read 5 of them. When I sync the app, the number of items stays at 20.

Most of the item the reading list doesn't show the same number of unread items as google reader (web).
[Android Apps and Games] mihairu:
I noticed another bug with importing whole reading list, it imports only feeds with unread items in greader. Shouldn't it load whole feed list?

I try reproduce bug about what i wrote earlier and send you logcat today or tommorow.

Cheers and thx for best greader app for android.

This is incredible. I have been using Minimal Reader Pro for a quite a while now, and had been wanting a full reader like this. In fact, my favorite app just got a lot better.

First off, I find the way it is set up to be perfect. I would not change a thing. What needs improvement is the function. I have had it duplicate articles, had pictures take a long time to load, and had incorrect images. (I have screenshots below) However, the side to side switching of articles is MUCH smoother than the current Minimal Reader Version. Perhaps a little lag, but that could be my device. Also, the articles seem to switch more smoothly than the categories.

The widget also seems a bit reluctant to sync with the app, even after pressing the sync button on the widget. Also, even though I set the buttons to be invisible, there was not a setting to make the Minimal Reader icon invisible as well, so that looks pretty weird. Finally, one feature I liked about the static widget was the feature to keep all of the text bold–even if it was read. I just don't like the look of the thin text, and especially don't like it when there are mixes of bold and regular. I realize this is a beta, but will the static widgets return for the complete app?

Thank you so much for the active development, it's fantastic.

I just experienced a FC while syncing from the app. I sent you an email.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks mate, very motivating comment :)

I'm aware of the stability and glitches issues, I'll work on them.

I'll also add the options on the widget to make it as customizable as possible.

And thanks for the FC log you sent me, very useful, I'll fix that as well.

So in the end it needs a bit more work and it will be ready for a first Play store release :)

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] mikeygeer:
Its going to do well

Its going to do incredibly well in the market. The widget and app combined are something that just isn't beatable. Thank you Joaquin and Jeppe for making this thing incredible. Use it every single day to keep up with valuable information and hasn't failed to keep me interested when rearranging my screens. You really found your place in a niche community and expanded upon it:p
[Android Apps and Games] CyberStorm98:
Wow! I've always liked Minimal Reader, but I stopped using it because of the lack of a mobilizer, but this is fantastic!!! The UI is gorgeous, navigation is smooth, it's back to being my primary news reader. I really only have 2 requests.

1. I agree with someone else in this post, having the mobilizer extract the full text instead of opening the new window would be preferred, but the way you have it now works perfectly fine for me.

2. Is there a way to add a setting inside the app to not filter out "read" news? The option exists on the widget, I'd like to have it in the app as well.

[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
First let me say THANK YOU for your top-notch customer support and this wonderful app, I have been using Minimal Reader Pro for a long time now

I am experiencing one troublesome bug, hoping you can fix

If I click on any link in the widget, it takes me to the brief description screen as it should (where there is the option to click the browser link at the top to reach the full article)

If I do not exit using the back button (I hit the "home" button instead), the next time I click on a link in the widget, it takes me to the previous article I was on (not the new one I just clicked).

It seems there is an issue with the widget not telling the app to "refresh" the content based on what I just clicked, but rather takes me to the previous article. Not quite sure if I am explaining this correctly, I am not a programmer..

Can you take a look? I am running GSM Galaxy Nexus, stock 4.0.4

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] CyberStorm98:
Yeah, mine does the same thing. It only does it when the Instapaper browser is open and you hit home instead of back.
[Android Apps and Games] ArmanUV:
Any updates on development?
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Sorry about the lack of updates guys, I've been away the last two weekends and my new job is leaving me very little free time during the week... its also getting harder to stay home coding with the sunny days, just feel like a cold beer on a terrasse lol

Hopefully I'll find some time this weekend and the next one to finish the app and take it out of beta, even though some important things are missing like the static widgets and other features that I had in mind...

I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Cheers guys
[Android Apps and Games] SensationNation:
Good to hear that you have a life! :) Personally, I think it would be wiser to release the app to the market only after you have all of the features integrated.

I have sent you emails of every FC I've had. However, another issue is that the widget seems reluctant to link me to the RSS feed. Also, when in the app, I have sometimes clicked on an article to be led to a different one.

Thank you for the active development.
[Android Apps and Games] rawdealer:
This is the best reader out there :)))

Just one annoying issue (for me), I always have to choose Show All when open the application :O

There's no option so set what you like....unread or all. :)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] CyberStorm98:
Now that I've had some time with this app, I wanted to give you some genuine feedback regarding bugs and features I'd love to have.

Bugs:

1. The widget sometimes does not refresh, clicking one article on the widget opens a totally different article. Backing out to the home screen, the widget is fully updated and articles work normally. It's not constant and opening one article fixes it, but still needs to be fixed.

2. If you're reading an article in the instapaper browser and you hit Home instead of backing out. The next time you click an article in the widget, it will open the same article in the instapaper browser, you have to back out and start over.

3. Opening some articles from the widget makes the app crash, nothing specific, appears random.

4. When adding feeds to the widget by checking them one at a time, the next time you open settings, none of them are checked. Would be nice to keep the checkmarks so you know what feeds are in the widget and can easily add new ones without having to re-add all of them.

-----------------------

Features

1. I would LOVE to have the mobilizer pull the full text and put it in the article screen without having to open the instapaper browser, but honestly, I'm so happy this app finally has a mobilizer, I really don't care. This way works fine, but having it in-app would be better.

2. When in the app, maybe have the icon in the upper left corner take you back to the "all" or "browse" screen. Sometimes if I'm reading a feed and want to quickly jump to another, it can be cumbersome to scroll sideways through all of them to get to the one I want. Being able to quickly jump to browse would be handy.

3. Having the option to default to "show all" or "show unread" would be nice. Having read articles disappear and having to click show all again to get them back is ok, but I would like the option to always show all and have the show all option change to "show unread". Not totally change it, just an option so people can choose.

4. I would like the option to disable the "mark all read" button on the widget. I have hit that thing on accident a few times and it really sucked. It's good to have it for people that use it, but I'd like the option to remove it completely.

------------------------------------

Other than that, I'm thrilled with the new app. I've compared it to virtually every RSS reader on Android and even iOS and it blows all of them away. I've stopped reading feeds completely on my iPod because I can't find an iOS app that comes close to this one. Keep up the amazing work!
[Android Apps and Games] superstargoddess:
Looks gorgeous, getting ready to try it out!
[Android Apps and Games] sjrixon:
What am I doing wrong?

I've linked to google reader, I can see all my feeds in the app. But the widget just says ' Press settings to start adding feeds'.
[Android Apps and Games] L3H0:
You must go to the widget setup (3 dots) and in the first tab check the box align to Reading List.

[Android Apps and Games] samthe2can:
Looks great! Two thing missing for me.

In the main list, there is no mark previous read option, sometimes I don't read all of my news feed at once.

And no sort options, I usually read oldest to newest.

Edit: doesn't seem to have a search option either

Doesn't remember choices like show unread instead of all.
[Android Apps and Games] sjrixon:
That was't obvious at first to me..
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks for all the detailed and constructive feedback guys!

I've been working on v3.0.2 lately and I think we're getting close to a release candidate :)

I fixed lots of FCs thanks to the logs you guys Sent me (thanks a lot for that)

I also added the static widgets back and synchronized them with the app.

Oh and a new feature : favourite items are now set as starred on Google Reader when you hit refresh, so you'll never loose your favourites! Also, there's a new option to import your starred items from google reader to the app, making it easy to get them back on the phone.

Few more fixes and features and it should be ready, ill see if i put it up here or straight on the play store.

Cheers !
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:

Hey guys, I just updated the first post with the latest APK (3.0.2)

Here's what changed :

* Favourites are now synced with google reader

* Added a shorcut to search/browse feeds on google reader

* Added the complete white theme

* re-enabled all the static widgets, synchronized with the app

* Added option to show only unread or all on startup

* Other tweaks and bug fixes

Get it from the first post and give me some feedback, I still have some things to fix and implement, but we're getting close to a release candidate.

Tell me if it's Play store worthy :)

Cheers!
