AideRSS is an intelligent assistant that saves time and keeps you on top of the latest news. We research every story and filter out the noise, allowing you to focus on what matters most.
Just an FYI to BETA users - there is a known possibility of there being an incompatibility with the GreaseMonkey Firefox extension. If you have GreaseMonkey installed and then install our extension - the extension may not do anything. We are actively working on a solution to this problem.
As an interim solution, we recommend disabling Greasemonkey (from Firefox add-ons dialog - *not* from GreaseMonkey settings) while using our extension.
Firefox 2.0.0.13. Installed, restarted FF, wondered why the back and forward buttons weren't working. Also, the URL bar wouldn't update with the current URL. Finally, the window title bar keeps the title of the first opened tab. I love Google Reader and was looking forward to the filtering of aiderss, but it looks like I'm going to have to wait a while longer.
Spanish websites do not get listed in Digg. It would be great to rank spanish posts measuring their presence in digg-like sites, like meneame.net , for example.
In general, it would be great to add "local" social-bookmark sites to rank the posts in each language.
I'd like the extension to work with tags (or All Items, I suppose) because I have a lot of feeds that I read and by tag is the only reasonable way to read it all. As it is now aideRSS isn't something I'll ever see or use.
I have this BlogSpot blog and they always restrict the number of posts they give in the RSS to 25. But there is a way to get them all like this: http://myblog.blogspot.com/feeds/post... I tried it in AideRSS and it returns an error. I finally found that using 500 instead of 1000000 worked, but still it didn't import all my posts. I would love to use and promote your service, but since my best posts are older, there is no real use of displaying just the latest good reading.
But when I add this feed into AideRSS, auto-discovery is performed and the main feed
from DownloadSquad front page (http://www.downloadsquad.com/rss.xml) is added instead of the specified feed.
I would like to drastically speed up the flitering level adjustment process. There are at least three ways to do this:
#1 - Allow the user to set a default filtering level for new feeds.
#2 - When importing a block of feeds, allow the user to set a flitering level prior to the actual import process
#3 - On the "My Feeds" page, instead of dropdown lists for each feed, the page could have columns for ALL, GOOD, GREAT, and BEST and the user could check the level for each feed. This would shorten the process of click, wait for dropdown list to expand, select, repeat for each item. Alternatively (or in addition), have a global checkbox and a select action box (think of selecting a whole page of messages in gmail)
I signed up, got an invite code, and installed the extension, but it doesn't seem to work. Wasn't asked to use the invite code anywhere and I don't see any orange boxes. What gives?
I'm looking at New Items in List View, if that helps.
I've got three extensions in an instance of Firefox 2.0.0.12 on XP (Adblock Plus, del.icio.us and AideRSS), and one key, but no luck in activating the extension; similarly no luck on a Mac (10.5.2) running the same version (but with a lot more add-ons, but not GM).
How long does it take to send a token? Now that I've installed your add-in for firefox I can no longer access my Google Reader page until I get a token which I still have not received. This is not very user friendly... so I've had to disable your Firefox add-in. Obviously, this is not the best way to get high user adoption...
First off: Great responsiveness on the API token removal. Thanks!
Second, Feedback:
1) Not having Greasemonkey is a deal-breaker. (I'm not the first to say it, but it's true).
2) The thing is slow in calculating post-rank for posts it presumable has never seen. Slow enough that it does not yet save time for me in Google Reader.
3) You're overall idea is excellent
4) What I'd like to see: Have a personal component to ranking. I.e. Every time I star a post in google reader, share a post in google reader, actually read a post in google reader, click through to the post in google reader, take note. You can use those for your post ranking, if you'd like. Then: integrate stats from this with the Google Reader Trends page. Give me stats on my different feeds based on the actions i've mentioned. This would greatly help me in feed managment decisions. Feeds that I've had for a while and have never received such a positive action (or few) would become candidates for deletion. Feeds which have a high number of such actions would be candidates for promotion to a higher priority folder. (I have various levels).
5) Thx for your work. RSS feed/post prioritization tools are desperately needed.
I like to read my feeds by tag or all, but I like to filter at the feed level. Would it be possible when viewing by tag or all to have the option of using each individual filter that's set at the feed level?
For example, say I have Feed1 and Feed2 both with Tag1. Feed1 is set to show Great and Feed2 is set to show Best. When I click on Tag1, I'd like to see a combination of the Feed1 Great posts along with the Feed2 Best posts. Right now when viewing by tag, I have to use the same filtering level for all feeds with that tag.
Perhaps this can be called "Mixed" and be available when viewing by tag or all. Selecting "Mixed" will use the individual filtering levels from each feed. The other filters (Best, Great, etc.) could still be available at the tag/all level as well.
I've installed the Greasemonkey Script. It shows the Dropdown menu in my reader but for some reason it doesn't pagerank anything and if i use the dropdown menu to select an option it does nothing.
is there anyway to have aiderss track the number of clicks a certain post gets and use that to populate a widget instead of using digg or comments? I was using Spotplex forever and now there offline.... Help? Send help to curiousread [at] gmail.com thanks so much
