- tracker1 13y agoWith all the cloud DBs available... one would think you could simply target one of them as a platform (say mongodb) and that you could define a set of collections/tables/account to use. You could get quite a bit of data in a free account level with couchbase or mongolab. You wouldn't even need to store the full article, just the feeds, urls, dtm and read status... you could do more, but it could work. For that matter, one could come up with such a "MyData" system that works with the DropBox API or something similar.
- jeena 13y agoI would like just a protocol for which I or basically anyone could implement a server and a client, kind of like SMTP and IMAP for email (but as a REST service or something easier)
- swanson 13y agoAnd as soon as Reeder (iOS/Mac), Press (Android), gReader (Android) and whatever Windows people use agree on a common API and all support adding your own server URL, then it will be possible. The problem is that all of the clients seem to want to hitch up with another free 3rd party service :(
- jeena 13y agoYeah I hoped someone would come up with such a protocol, I myself been writing about that last year already, but sadly 3rd party service it seems to become.
