Snackr Sinks Its Teeth Into Google Reader
As a side project, I've been helping NJ out with his Snackr AIR application. Way back when he first started building Snackr, he sent me a build and I started using it. It was exactly what I needed to get back into reading my RSS feeds again, but I still liked to read some feeds (like my friends' blogs and others that I always wanted to be up-to-date with) in a regular feed reader client. It annoyed me that I had to maintain two clients, add new feeds to both, mark items read in both, etc. Then I thought "Hey, Google Reader has an API. Maybe we could use it to automatically keep the two clients in sync!" I badgered NJ to implement this feature but he doesn't use a normal feed reader so it wasn't the first thing on his priority list. Then I thought "Wait a minute, I know how to code! And I've always wanted to learn a little more Flex..." So I sat down to do it myself.
Now it's four months later and I finally have something to show for it. NJ released a new test build, 0.38 TEST, which includes my Google Reader integration feature. After backing up your Snackr database and your Google Reader feed list, download the test build and let me know what you think.
