    another day, another build
    Ok, so it's been more like 4 days, but hey. New build! Now with basic but serviceable OPML importing and articlelist sort options, plus more little tweaks and whatnot. Next up on the radar is the Source options. They are all on a haphazard single dialog for now but I'm gonna tabify them and organize them and everything.

    build: RSXE v0.07 (453kb)

    RSXE utilizes the CONSUME browsing metaphor. You have been warned.


    it is pre-alpha

    Yes, fresher than alpha, it's pre-alpha. That means it is a work in progress. But it seems to work decently. I use it every day. You are welcome to use it as well.
