Windows Apps Weekly for 08 March 2015 - Fedora Reader

Just a couple of weeks ago I featured an RSS reader that uses the Feedly service to organize and serve up the articles I read each day from across about 135 RSS feeds. I choose that reader as my daily driver because its feature set serves me well as I curate content each day.

However, if you are not like me and only read a handful of RSS feeds each day then Nextgen Reader might be overkill and that brings me to this brand new app from independent developer Joshua Grzybowski.

Fedora Reader is an RSS reading app that has a clean interface and a new unique slider style sidebar menu that breaks away from the traditional pivot style interface of early Windows apps.

The app features synching of your feeds between your phone and desktop so that you can access your feeds on whichever Windows device you are on.

Fedora Reader also fully integrates with the Sharing Menu so you can share articles via social media and other targets that are setup on your system such as OneNote, email, etc. The developer did confirm that Live Tile support is not yet available in the app but is something he is working on implementing.

Be sure to take a look at the screenshots in the gallery (also accessible under related media at the top of this story) from both the Windows Phone and Windows versions of the app.

The app is proving to be well liked because after just a couple of days in the store it has already garnered 92 total reviews for an average of four stars.

Fedora Reader can be downloaded for free on both platforms:

Windows Phone

Windows

 

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
