What's New in FeedDemon 3.0?As you can see from the release notes, there are a lot of improvements in this version. Here are some of the highlights:
- $S_GoogleReader$ synchronization: FeedDemon now synchronizes with $S_GoogleReader$, providing super-fast access to your $S_GoogleReader$ subscriptions from your desktop.
- Tagging: FeedDemon's new tagging features enable you to assign your own keywords to items, making it easy to classify and locate articles you've previously read. To assign a tag to an item, simply click the tag icon under the item's headline.
- Really simple sharing: Sharing articles is now much simpler - just click the Share icon to add an article to your shared items. And keep in mind that you can still share any web page by drag-and-dropping a hyperlink or browser tab to your shared items.
- Short URL preview: Want to know where a short URL (TinyURL, etc.) will take you? Hover over it to see a balloon tip that shows where it goes.
- Simpler, cleaner user interface: We've streamlined FeedDemon's UI, cured the toolbutton overload of previous versions, and made a number of "tweaks" which improve the overall experience of using $APP_NAME$.
- New start page: $APP_NAME$'s redesigned "Subscriptions Home" page now includes popular articles and YouTube videos from your subscribed feeds.
- Better handling of Twitter feeds: If you're a Twitter fan, you'll love how we've made $APP_NAME$ a better Twitter feed reader.
- Even faster and more reliable: FeedDemon has always been fast (after all, its name is a play on the phrase "speed demon"), but now it's even faster! And thanks to the built-in error reporting, we've identified and resolved the most common problems our customers encountered in earlier versions.
What Happened to My Toolbuttons?
Among our goals with this release was to simplify the UI by hiding lesser-used toolbuttons and newspaper icons. If we've hidden a toolbutton you relied upon, click the "Customize" arrow at the far right of the toolbar to add it back. If there's a newspaper icon you miss, click the "Icons..." button on the Reading page in FeedDemon's options to restore it.
