Re: [orca-list] Orca-list Digest, Vol 38, Issue 63 question about eliquentce

Josh: you said that voxin is pretty much the same thing as eloquence. It uses old libraries so I wonder does it actually use eloquence? and is it usable? ----- Original Message ----- From: <orca-list-request gnome org>

hi,
if you like eloquence for windows you might spend $5 at www.oralux.org and get voxin, it's pretty much the same thing but for linux.

What is everyone using for accessiblefeed-reading under Orca? I'm
trying to find one but having horrible luck, so am wondering if anyone
has pointers? My big requirements are that it needs to be web-based or
somehow centrally available so multiple computers are synced, as well
as supporting river of news-style reading. I follow lots of feeds so
really need to be able to use continuous read. Here are my experiences
with several:

Gregarius: I've been using this mostly happily for 4 months or so.
It's web-based and can load large volumes of articles per page, plus
has headers in good, highly-accessible places. Unfortunately it
routinely barfs on some feeds that I'd like to read, does not identify
duplicate posts and sometimes displays the same post 4-5 times. I've
gotten a bit behind on reading feeds this week and have grown
frustrated with seeing the same posts half a dozen times, hence my new
search, and it doesn't appear to be under active development.

Tt-rss: Another web-based reader that IS under active development and
has some nice features, but I've about had it with this one after half
an hour of use. It seems to do nasty AJAX things with the keyboard.
Tabbing doesn't work, I can't figure out how to click some of the text
that isn't identified as a link even though it supports an action. i'm
dismissing it as inaccessible and don't really feel like filing more
third-party accessibility bugs with other developers that won't be
addressed for months.

Google reader: Seems reasonably usable, but I can't for the life of me
figure out how to delete a feed. Checking it and clicking the delete
button hasn't ever worked, hence it is unusable for someone wanting to
trim old feeds. Plus, I'm not sure continuous read deals with
infinitely scrolling pages well. I should probably file an Orca bug
about this, it's something that occurs to me when I'm not staring at
bugzilla and then I forget about it. But endless pagination is
becoming more prevalent so should probably be handled if possible.

Are there any usable web-based readers? Or is there some other
solution that meets my needs? If not then I guess I'll keep using
Gregarius.

If I seem frustrated, it isn't aimed at Orca. None of these are Orca
issues, I'm just frustrated that such a simple and important activity
is so difficult. Surely there has to be some way of keeping track of a
bunch of feeds on multiple computers that  is accessible, right?

If I understood the question well, he's refering to webbased applications,
and that means they are not on his machine.
And I fear there aren't good solutions.
So an alternative would be to use locally installed apps, such as
Firefox, Thunderbird for GUI and Snownews and Newsbeuter for the text
console.
