Sauce Reader Trial
Over the weekend I saw a couple people posting about Sauce Reader, so I
figured I'd give it a shot. I liked the idea of being able to post from
within the tool, and it looked like a very polished tool.
I downloaded it, and moved my OPML. My first impression was pretty bad
when it took about 15 to 20 minutes to process my opml. I let that go, and
continued to try it out.
All in all it was a very functional reader, but left quite a bit to be
desired. I missed my tabs from rssbandit, as well as the thread view in
the aggregator. I couldn't get posting to my blog to work, and the worst
part, my thinkpad scroll button didnt work in any of the panels. It also
had the tendency to leave dialog boxes behind the app requiring an end
task. The memory footprint was also larger then rssbandit.
I did really like the manual sorting of feeds, as well as the diff icons for
feeds and folders.
I switched back to rssbandit and visualblogger for now, although I will keep
a dog ear for that app in a few versions. My opinion now, still needs some
refinement, but has promise.
