Reeder for Mac's HTML5 Homepage
- Zakuzaa 15y agoHow are they modifying address bar url? Is it a feature of HTML5?
- jsherer 15y agoInteresting. I had to open Safari for it to work, though. Chrome (canary) failed on the transitions.

- jonursenbach 15y agoSame here, running Chrome 12.0.742.91
- lachenmayer 15y agoI was wondering, what the fuss was all about... Then I opened it in Safari, and yes, it's very impressive.
- masklinn 15y agoI believe it didn't fail, the transitions are explicitly not enabled [0] [0] http://twitter.com/#!/reederapp/status/80680783123189761 http://twitter.com/#!/reederapp/status/80680783123189761
- mynameisraj 15y agoFun fact: holding the shift key will slow down the animations.
- calloc 15y agoIf you do this in OS X animations are also slowed down. Hold shift and hit the dashboard button for a slow-mo animation.
- bajsejohannes 15y agoIt beautiful, no doubt! But I must admit, it took me a surprisingly long time to figure out what this application does. The landing page doesn't tell me, the screenshot page doesn't tell me either (not by scanning, anyway) (also, every screenshot is two clicks away). In the end, I reluctantly clicked help, and found out. Still; very esthetically pleasing.
- ugh 15y agoThe nice thing is that Reeder doesn't really need an informative or very user friendly website for promotion. The most important thing on that website is the link to the App Store. Reeder already sells so well that Apple and the press do all the necessary promotion.
- lovskogen 15y agoI was more found of the CSS3 that the HTML5.
- frou_dh 15y agoI like Reeder for iPhone/Pad, and tried the recent beta of this. As a Mac app, it seems to have an "overtly custom" UI, which although clearly skillfully put together, just doesn't appeal to me in look or feel. Though the keyboard shortcuts and add-on services were impressively configurable.
- Hrothgar15 15y agoWould you like to expound on why it doesn't appeal to you? I would recommend using the application as your main RSS reader for some period of time before making that assessment.
- bradleyland 15y agoThe UI seems very iOS-like to me. I wouldn't go so far as to say it feels out of place on my Mac though. I kind of wish they made a mail client. I really like the dynamic-three column view and controls.
- Hrothgar15 15y agoBut this is the direction in which Mac OS X is progressing as a whole. The app feels right at home on Lion.
- ricardobeat 15y agoSorry, but no HTML5 in there, just some CSS3 candy. (just noticed they use the History API, but that seems to be all) It also doesn't even have a heading element, and uses document.write for styles... bummer.
- ugh 15y agoNerds may wail and gnash their teeth but CSS3 is HTML5. Definitions change.
- ricardobeat 15y agoI thought this was "hacker" news? HTML5, which is actually just "HTML" since it will be a living standard from now on, is comprised of: - new browser APIs (canvas, storage, geo, etc etc) - standardized markup error handling (consistent behaviour for tag soup) - new elements There is no word of CSS3 in any official HTML5 document, and it will remain like that since CSS is a separate standard.
- ugh 15y agoYou are, of course, right. Still, odds are that when someone says HTML5 they are also refering to CSS3. Words aren't neat and just because they have been defined that way doesn't mean they stay defined that way. To fight that at this point is just plain ridiculous.
- gburt 15y agoThere is almost nothing HTML5 about this.
- Hrothgar15 15y agoReeder is my main web browser, actually. It's how I access 90% of online textual content. I do not want to be presented with inconsistent, poorly thought out, ad-ridden web site designs. Just the text and images for articles and blog posts. Reeder lets me get in, read, and get out.
- foobarbazetc 15y agoMeh?
