Re: Show HN: Yoleo – A Beautiful RSS Reader
#42It looks nice, and at this point in time, this is what I'll probably be using next month.
A few things:
* Is there a way to scroll through all items in the same way that Google Reader does, rather than having to go to the next item by clicking (or hitting "j")? Feeds with lots of images suffer from the current approach, since there's a delay when each item is loaded (preloading them, say, five items in advance works well).
* Hitting keyboard controls like "j" when Firefox's "search when you start typing" is turned on doesn't work. I think you need to return false in the keypress event handler (or whichever one it is).
* I would suggest changing the body font to black with a weight of 400. I have Source Sans Pro installed, and at 300 #606060 it's too light (in both senses of the word). It looks nice enough, but the main purpose of this is for reading, so using the most legible font possible should be a priority. (Tip: 15px Arial looks a lot nicer than 16px, IMHO. It's what I was using when I made 90% of a feed reader.)

#43This looks pretty cool. Is there a example instance set up anywhere so I can see what it is like without signing up?

#44"Yo leo" in Spanish means "I read", I don't know if this is a coincidence :).
as long as it's not a play on YOLO :P

#45Hats off for the notification that popped up as I was trying to import telling me that HN traffic bogged you down. That was very classily and well done.
Definitely made the difference between "not loading, closing the tab" to "wow, that was awesome, I will gladly wait and see where this goes".

#46I added my first subscription just fine, but subsequent attempts have given me error messages.
1) URLs that should work with autodiscovery give me this message -> "Sorry, that does not look like a valid URL".
2) When I enter the full URL of the feed it appears to add the subscription successfully, but it doesn't show up when I refresh my screen.
3) The keyboard navigation is a bit weird. If "J" advances to the next item, should the previous letter "H" send me to the previous item (as opposed to "K")?
4) I don't see how I can manually create folders for my subscriptions.
5) I can't rename subscription titles.
Yoleo looks promising, but it feels like a beta product.

#47Is there an API?
Yep, but it's not public yet .
Is a website, is beautiful, is easy to use, has an API. You've hit on the first three, so when the API becomes public, I am so using this.
Are you hosting this yourself? Do you expect $9/year members to adequate cover the costs? I'd totally be willing to pay more if it means I don't have to suffer through another shutdown.

#48I like the look of it. However, before I give you access to my data some more information on how it works, who you are, why I should use it, etc. would be nice. That said, I hope you this gets traction. We need more options.
Hey there, good questions! I'm a developer in Toronto, Canada and I love to ride bikes and write code. I work at a place called Unspace ( http://unspace.ca/team ), I'm the third one down (Jamie Gilgen). Yoleo is a self funded project. I would like to keep it that way if I can. That's why donations are very welcome. I do however offer Yoleo up for free for those who are unable to pay. Yoleo is written in Ember, and is…

No. It inherits this behavior from Google Reader, which inherits this from vi. http://www.catonmat.net/blog/why-vim-uses-hjkl-as-arrow-keys...

#50Finally an RSS reader that does just what you would expect from an RSS reader, and that does it well.
This may be the first real Google Reader alternative I've seen so far.
