Last week I showed prldr.com, a small project I created during my weekends. The immediate thing I learned from the comments was that prldr had to be a RSS reader, which I already had in mind.
So after another couple of days programming prldr.com is now a visual rss reader. You read the news by just opening the links from the RSS feeds, simple as that.<p>features for now: management of feeds, import OPML file, keyboard navigation, automatic feed fetching.<p>ps: I disabled preloading of tabs, because some browsers tend to crash when opening 30 iframes :P. Have to implement some stack mechanism to do this. Expect it online tomorrow.
pps: Some bugs may exist. Still very alpha. Testing an idea right here.
I have to say that the idea of prldr.com is very nice. Of course there are multiple RSS readers but I have not found any which preloaded my pages and had very basic, yet very functional, keyboard navigation + interface.<p>The simple left frame containing all my news items is clean with the color coding enabled, and browsing through with "j" and "k" is simple and fast.<p>That having said I do think this idea is very dependent upon the _preloading_, without it this is still a decent and useful idea but the preloading was the cherry on the cake.<p>Looking forward to see preloading back in and maybe some more work on the listing of available content in the left menu.

This does not seem very useful to me. I read my feeds by using Google Reader with Firefox, and middle-mouse clicking on any link that I want to actually read. By the time I've opened a few tabs this way, the first of them has loaded.<p>In fact, my tabs are even displayed along the left and grouped properly (using tabkit)<p>Why would I want to use prldr?
This is very nice. Would help if you used colours on the buttons, moved the button at the top-left so it wasn't touching the edge of the window, stuff like that. Black everywhere is not the answer ;) But it's very usable and does what it's supposed to.
