It's been a few days since the initial release, now it's time for the first update!

This update includes redesigned subreddit editor and downloading screen, and minor performance improvements.

Download the latest version of the app here:

Google Play Store | Apple App Store

This is the first public release of the "offline reader" app: a complete remake of the old "reddit offline (Android-only)" app with a modern cross-platform framework called Flutter. This project started about one month ago, and it's already got several major improvements over the old app, including an added iOS support, additional images and videos sources (including fixing problems with redgifs and making sure both video and audio are downloaded from v.redd.it etc), improved HTML formatting (especially when posts or comments contains tables), and even inline-image support.

Of course, this new project being barely 1 month old, it's also missing a few key features from the old app, most noticeably the "scheduled download" feature is not available at this moment.

The good news is, now that the project has been remade using Flutter, future development would be fast and efficient (just look at how much was done in the past 1 month). There are tons of more features planned, including reddit login, marking posts as favourite (to avoid being removed when updating), offline voting and commenting (would be queued until you are online) and much more.

• Podcast support

  Plenary now has built in support for Podcasts. Download and stream your favorite podcasts directly from your favorite rss reader app.

Hello everyone!

Here's a little demo of a reading app which can be installed as PWA with a lot of useful functionality and syncing, but unfortunately a lack of spare time and lost interest will not allow me to complete it.

Due to my relatively slow internet at times. And sometimes it disappears forever. I've realized that it is preferable to read offline. Without waiting for the next page to load.

However many comic readers lack the function of reading long strip. Which i prefer. And many others do as well.

So is their a comic reader to read offline? Yes.

The more popular one is Sumtrapdf.

https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/free-pdf-reader.html

However it is not a comic reader. It is a PDF reader.

Another reader i found though supports long strip called OpenComic

https://github.com/ollm/OpenComic/releases

It lack some functions But it is meant to be a full fledged comic reader. Its the one i'm currently using.

If anyone has any other recommendations for offline long strip comic readers for PC let me know.

Hey /r/androidapps,

Hope you guys are doing well in this difficult time.

I've created an Android app that lets you subscribe to RSS feeds and save articles offline on your device.

Presenting Plenary - RSS feeds & Offline reader

As mentioned, the app can be used as :

1. RSS reader

I know the first question that comes to mind when hearing about a new RSS reader app: there are hundreds of RSS reader apps on Play Store. So,

Why create another RSS app?

I agree there are plenty of RSS feed apps on play store but after looking closely at them, they can be broadly categorized in two types:

1. RSS service app that syncs feeds on its servers and presents them to you. These are not RSS readers but RSS service apps and the data is not on your device but on its servers. Most of these apps require you to login to synchronize data and don't work offline. And you don't have full control over your data.
2. There are some great RSS reader apps as well (including open source alternatives) that does everything on your device, but they are not as feature rich as some RSS service apps. (and a lot of them are lagging in design/ux or not maintained anymore)

It is perfectly fine if you are happy with either of these two solutions. You can choose not to use Plenary. But if you are looking for a solution which acts as a bridge between these two, you should definitely give it a chance.

Reasons why you should choose Plenary as your preferred RSS reader:

• No login required
• No ads/trackers - Plenary doesn't have any analytics or ads provider in the app. It's a privacy focused app that doesn't collect any data. Commitment is to never show ads or add any analytics in the app.
• Completely local - Everything the app does, from fetching feeds to organizing them is done on your device. I am also working on the feature to allow automatic backup of your data to your external storage or your preferred cloud storage and keep it safe for future access.
• Great modern UI closely in line with material design guidelines

Novel ways to add feeds

Local news sources

Browse all RSS feed options of top news sources from 15+ countries such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Russia, South Africa, UK and USA and add them quickly. (News sources from more countries will be added soon)

For example, [here's how you can subscribe to the health feed of NYT in a few eas

So I spent almost 4 days developing an novel reader to read novels offline for android. It does not host a collection of novels that you can download offline but instead it reads the chapters stored in a txt file and projects it into a readable UI. I am aware that this is not legal so I am really hesitant to share this. So if you guys don't want me to share this then I won't.

If some of you are interested then here are a few screenshots.

I've gone and got some manga saved on my desktop, but the windows photo viewer is terrabad and my internet connection isnt the best. Any recommendations for a manga reader that can read from folders or something of that nature?

Any ideas? Alexa requires wifi connectivity.

What happened:

Our old app, "reddit offline", got taken down because it used the trademarked word "reddit" in its name. We are renaming "reddit offline" to "Offline Reader for Reddit". The new app is now live in the Play Store.

Download Link:

Offline Reader for Reddit (Play Store)

FAQ:

• How to transfer settings and subreddits to the new app?
  • Unfortunately this is not possible. Because the old app got taken down, we lost the ability to update it to support a data transfer. You will have to manually configure the new app.
• Can I keep using the old app, "reddit offline"?
  • The old app will still work for the most part, but it no longer receives updates. In the future, it might start to display an "update required" message.
• I got a notification asking me to update, but I'm already on the new app?
  • The notifications came from the old "reddit offline" app. You might still have the old app installed. After setting up the new "Offline Reader for Reddit" app, you should uninstall the old one.
• What's new in "Offline Reader", besides the name?
  • Current version, "Offline Reader for Reddit, v1.0.1", is a continuation of "reddit offline v3.1.1". We added new feature where you could pull down when reading a post, to refresh its comments. We fixed a bug related to the "hide seen posts" toggle button. The app icon is also a bit different.

I just read that python is not that great of a choice to control hardware. And that the raspberry pi if programmed in python uses something called a wrapper that compiles into C or some other traditional hardware based language to get the required functionality. I was hoping that Python could be a good choice for my final goal. But it seems that I won't be able to integrate the Raspberry Pi hardware with just a simple GUI software. I figured running linux and an interpreters would allow me to do what I wanted. But python does not properly manage Memory allocation I understand?

Hi. Currently I'm using palabre with feedly hosting, but for the past few days it has been crashing whenever a site does not provide an article I want to read Surely it's because the site is slow due to Corona, but palabre is straight up crashing instead of waiting or showing the cached data.

I need a reader that work offline. Most of my reading happens on the underground, where my phone signal is terrible. Palabre only shows cached data if I turn on airplane mode. It'd be great if the new app could show cached data by default (thought I'm OK to keep using airplane mode if needed)

Being feedly compatible would be a plus, since I often save articles to re read on pc.

I tried using paper boy for a while. But the default mobilizer works awful and though it offers 2 others, the options to make those default do not work

I love this app. It's so so much smoother and reactive than both the website and the official Reddit app. I'm not talking about the download time, of course, but about folding/opening comments in a thread and similar actions.

I'd love to use it even when I'm online, without having to download and cache a lot of dada, but just fetching content on the fly.

Is that possible?

Otherwise, would you know any other simple and very-responsive app/website I should check out?

What's new:

Fixed an issue where some gifs are not being displayed, reported in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditOffline/comments/glv92h/request_redgifscom_arent_being_displayed/

To join open beta (for this & all future beta releases), follow this link:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/yy.offlinereader

If open beta testing goes well, this version will be released in about one week.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.braksoftware.SatoriReader

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/satori-reader/id1382950847?ls=1&mt=8

Just received an email that Satori Reader is now available as an app with offline mode. Haven't tried it yet as my tablet is too old, but offline mode sounds great.

I used to use feedly to load articles in advance to read while underground on the train, but now it refreshes regularly and clears the loaded articles.

Are there any news apps that let you view articles while offline?

What's new:

Current version, "Offline Reader for Reddit, v1.0.1", is a continuation of "reddit offline v3.1.1". It most noticeably got a new feature where you could pull down when reading a post, to refresh its comments. It also fixed a bug related to the "hide seen posts" feature introduced in the previous version.

Download Link:

Offline Reader for Reddit (Play Store)

Previous versions:

reddit offline v3.1.x:

We largely improved the download speed of subreddits. Also, we added a new button to "hide posts that you've already seen", so you can focus on those you haven't seen. Note however, this switch is temporary, default off, and it's per subreddit. That means, if you switch on "hide seen posts" in r/AskReddit and then swipe to r/Pics, it will default to showing all posts again.

reddit offline v3.0.x:

In version 3, we have significantly improved the performance and largely changed the underlining architecture. There may not be much visual differences, but overall the app should run a lot smoother. The "auto delete old files after 3 or 7 days" option is gone thanks to the new database design: we now automatically manage offline files, and keep them for as long (or as short) as needed. We have also added some quality of life improvements such as adjusting text indents, theme colors, and enabling text-selection in comments.

This update includes lots of small improvements, such as further improved formatting of comments, newly designed on-boarding screens, a new cache directory management screen, a new feature to block users (will hide all comments from that user) and more.

Hello /r/developersIndia,

I have created three android apps. I would like to share them with fellow Indian developers.

1. An RSS feed reader
2. Offline article downloader (similar to read it later apps)
3. A minimalist podcast player

Here is a look at the summary of core functionalities of each of these apps:

RSS Feed reader:

• Novel Ways to add feeds such as Local News sources, RSS Assistant and Recommended feeds
• Rich Notifications for new articles as per your preference
• Auto sync with custom interval
• TTS (Text-to-speech)
• Organizing feeds into different categories
• Powerful search by title, description, feed name etc with available filters such as feed and domain
• Full OPML support

Offline Article Downloader:

• Multiple ways to add articles - Directly from RSS reader app, entering URL manually or while sharing URL from other apps
• Tag articles to different categories for better organization and viewing
• Save entire article content in text (with images) and it's web version for offline access
• TTS (Text-to-speech)
• Search in saved articles by title, author, summary etc

Podcast Player:

• Subscribe to your favorite podcasts and stream them on the go
• Save podcasts offline to access them later anywhere
• Full OPML support

And there are common features across these apps:
