Reviews for Bamboo Feed Reader by Jonathan P
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
So glad to see the refresh and mark-read buttons displayed on every feed, including all-feeds. Keyboard scrolling works in the content pane now. And I actually like the new, less stark theme. Bamboo now fits my reading flow like a glove with less clicking. The only things I can think to ask for are longer intervals (every 8 hours?) and/or scheduled updates e.g. at 9h every day.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.2.1-signed).Rated 2 out of 5 stars
Pro: the old, clean, well-loved Google Reader layout brought client-side. Works well enough.
Con: pervasive and annoying fades/transitions/animations that can't be disabled. Terrible to no keyboard control (e.g. scrolling, dismissing modal windows). Looks like an HTML5 app. Memory-hungry. Cannot manually update collections of feeds without building a composite view of read stuff, auto update periods far too short.
Thanks for your review, be sure that your opinion will be taken in account for the next major release.
"Cannot manually update collections of feeds without building a composite view of read stuff":
I don't really understand this request. Do you want be able to update feeds with a specific "tag" ?
To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
