Re: ReadKit RSS app not clearing all read items?

[Alex Hall]

Turned out, restarting the computer cleared things right up. I'm always telling 
people to do that, and here I am, not doing it. :D Thanks for the suggestions 
though.

Re: ReadKit RSS app not clearing all read items?

[gs]

Well, this won't be of much help to you and I apologize for that.

I had some sort of problem when I had ReadKit set to view all articles and 
tried to mark all read.  It seemed that with articles set to view all and when 
trying to mark as read, something didn't go quite right.  I admit I did not pay 
enough attention at the time to know if the problem I experienced is similar to 
yours. I'll pay closer attention next time.

Also, it helps to do a refresh (Command R) before exiting ReadKit if you know 
you may next use Lire to view articles. I don't know if there is some setting 
in ReadKit to trigger a refresh on exit. If so, I don't have it set and wish I 
did. I have been taking the lazy way out and refreshing before exit.

Re: ReadKit Question

[Nicholas Parsons]

The app works perfectly for me, but I use FeedWrangler to sync my feeds, not 
Instapaper. So I can't help you, unfortunately. However, it doesn't sound like 
it's a VoiceOver problem, but rather a ReadKit and Instapaper problem. Given 
this, the mainstream support documentation should be able to fix your problem. 
Check your settings and preferences in ReadKit, check their help/support 
documentation, and if that doesn't fix your problem try emailing the developers 
with your issue.
Cheers,
Nic

Re: Readkit question (was Looking for Mac RSS reader)

[Nicholas Parsons]

Yeah, it's a bit odd and annoying. I think some of the syncing services allow 
you to add subscriptions through an RSS client, but FeedWrangler which I use 
doesn't allow it yet.

Re: Readkit question (was Looking for Mac RSS reader)

[Alex Hall]

Thanks for the response. It is odd that there is an option to add a 
subscription, but it is unavailable. I am really hoping that Lire adds syncing 
support; I sent them an email today asking about it, so hopefully something 
will happen soon.

Re: ReadKit rss reader and adding feeds

[Nicholas Parsons]

Hi,
I replied to Alex's post on the same topic so I won't fully repeat myself here. 
For full info, see that thread. However, basically you need to either use a 
syncing service such as FeedWrangler or FeedBin to manage your feeds and then 
sync that with ReadKit (which is the preferred solution), or find an RSS feed 
in Safari and click on the link. ReadKit should pop up automatically and ask if 
you want to add the feed, unless you have another RSS Client set to be the 
default RSS client.
Cheers,
Nic

Re: Readkit question (was Looking for Mac RSS reader)

[Nicholas Parsons]

There's two ways to add feed subscriptions.
The first way is to add them through a syncing service like FeedWrangler or 
FeedBin, and sync these with ReadKit. This is the best way as it allows you to 
sync your feeds with your iOS device.
The second way is to just click on an RSS link in your web browser of choice. I 
know at least with Safari when I do this ReadKit automatically pops up and asks 
if I want to subscribe to the feed.

I also recommend taking your time to explore the preferences. There are some 
great customisable settings in there, including the options to easily add short 
cut keys.

Some short cuts which are worth knowing are G, to view the article in full text 
readability mode, and shift-A, to mark all as read.

For iOS, I highly recommend Mr Reader for iPad. It can sync with ReadKit 
through services like FeedWrangler. I haven't found anything great for iPhone. 
FeedWrangler for iPHone is accessible and useable, but not particularly 
enjoyable to use.

Best,
Nic

Re: ReadKit

[Brian Fischler]

Hey all,

I just wanted to share this from the developer in working with Favorited 
articles and shortcuts for sharing. He got back to me very quickly and is 
interested in hearing any feedback and suggestions for future releases. You can 
contact him through the REad Kit Help menu and website.

you can create a custom smart folder for this purpose with File menu “Add smart 
folder...”. You should set the “Favorited” rule to “YES”, then ReadKit will 
list all of your starred items in the smart folder. Of course, you can set 
additional rules, for example to filter starred items just from a specific 
account.

Unfortunately there is no keyboard shortcut for sharing services, yet. This is 
already on my to-do list and I’ll improve the whole sharing functionality soon.

Just FYI, Brian, if you do decide to go with Feed Wrangler, I think you'll have 
to import your feeds again into Feed Wrangler. I'm not sure it will 
automatically import them from ReadKit – you'll have to export them from 
ReadKit or Google Reader and import them into Feed Wrangler through their web 
interface.

Re: ReadKit

[Jonathan Mosen]

Hi Brian, last I checked, the Readability app for iOS is not accessible. If 
that's changed I'd be pleased to hear that.

Reader in Safari on Mac and iOS is fantastic, but there are scenarios where 
it's not going to deliver. For example, when using a Twitter client on iOS or 
Mac, you can't add an article to Apple's reading list from those apps. I 
presume this is because the API doesn't exist to do it. So while I like Reader 
for things I want to read right away, if I want to just mark an article for 
reading later, say when I'm on a plane with no coverage, Instapaper rules.

another scenario is if you use any device outside the Apple ecosphere. I do use 
Windows and Android too and it's nice to have all my content in a form that's 
platform agnostic. It's so good to have a bunch of tools in the toolbox, and to 
know which is the best for any given task.

Re: ReadKit

[Brian Fischler]

Hey Jonathan, Thanks for the explanation of what works for you. Ah, now I get 
why the test article I favorited in readability I can't seem to see in the IOS 
app. I believe it is still not accessible. Readability does seem to work very 
well in REad Kit, so I guess I will just have to decide if I need Instapaper 
once I get Feed Wrangler, been doing this transformation out of Newsrack in 
steps, and trying to get familiar with all of REad Kit before getting it to 
sync through Feed Wrangler. Always something new to learn. Thanks for all of 
your input.

Re: ReadKit

[Nicholas Parsons]

NO, I've never used Instapaper or Pinboard. I've never seen the need. I use 
Apple's built-in Reader which is a part of Mac OS and iOS. Reader is fantastic. 
You can press Command-Shift-R on just about any article in Safari and have it 
appear without all the extraneous rubbish. YOu can also press command-shift-d 
to add it to your reading list, or right click on any URL and select add to 
reading list from the services sub-menu. Once something's in your reading list 
you can access it from any of your devices. It's really handy in my opinion but 
way under used by so many people.

Re: ReadKit

Thanks Nicholas, for some reason I thought you needed a plug in for readability 
as you do for safari and I saw something on readability's site about external 
readers. Will have to play around with it more today. Do you also use 
Instapaper and/or Pinboard. I am assuming that Readability, Pinboard, and 
Instapaper are all basically the same thing, you just have to choose the one 
you like the best. I never used any of these services with Newsrack, Night Owl, 
Tweet List, or Twitterrific. So just trying to pick the one that works the best 
with VO, since they all seem to work with everything.

Re: ReadKit

[Nicholas Parsons]

HI Brian,

Glad you worked it out.

Well, first of all, some of the feeds I subscribe to just display the full text 
of articles by default. Others provide only an intro, and invite you to read 
the rest in Safari. So what I do depends on which kind of article I'm reading.

More or less, though, what I do is this. When on an article title I'm 
interested in:
•   If that article is a full text article, I just navigate twice 
to the right, interact with the HTML area and read.
•   If that's not normally a full text article, I press the letter 
G. This switches to Readability mode. And no, no plug in is needed. I then 
navigate twice to the right, interact with the HTML area and read.
•   If you want to open it in your browser anyway, just press the 
letter b for bravo. Then navigate to your default browser and read.

For full text articles this only involves one more key press for me than 
NewsRack. For non-full text articles this actually saves me a few key presses 
as ReadKit has those short cuts for Readability mode and opening in your 
browser.

Re: ReadKit

[Brian Fischler]

Hey Nick,

Yeah, maybe I need to start drinking tea. Sorry lack of sleep, and I do get 
annoyed to quickly when I can't figure something out. I think the unlabeled 
buttons threw me also at first, but I did figure a way around it eventually. 
Like anything, I need to get used to it. Did you have to install the plug in 
for readability to work with it? 

In Newsrack, I used to have it set up to just click VO space bar, and the 
article would open in safari. I guess I am looking for the minimal amount of 
steps to get to an article I want to read. I have played around with both open 
in browser, and opening in the Read Kit html area also. both seem to have extra 
steps than Newsrack did. What have you found as easiest. Thanks for all the 
advice. Brian

Re: ReadKit

Alex,
I couldn't find an option for when text changes. There's text attributes, which 
is already set to nothing. There's also status changes which is just set to 
play tone. I'm sure you've correctly diagnosed the problem though.

Brian,
As I said, ReadKit optionally syncs with a whole range of services. Feed 
Wrangler is just one. You need to sign up with one of those services, but not 
all. Some might be free, I don't know. I've only used Feed Wrangler. What you 
need to do is as follows:
•   Navigate around with VoiceOver until you find a bunch of 
unlabelled buttons.
•   Use VO-SHIFT-H to read the help tag on each of these buttons.
•   When you get to the button the help tag for which is Feed 
Wrangler, you can VO-Space on it.
•   Enter your Feed Wrangler account details.
•   Navigate to the far left and VO-Space on the import button, 
which will no longer be dimmed once you've entered your account details.
•   Have a cup of tea and relax. :)

Re: ReadKit

[Brian Fischler]

Ugh, my whole point of not jumping right into Read Kit was having to keep 
shelling out money for things. So I finally bought it and the very first thing 
that comes up when launching REad Kit is you must have a premium account to 
Insta paper. What the heck. I don't use Insta paper, and don't recall there 
being a single mention of having to also purchase a premium account to 
Instapaper on the app page and I don't believe anyone mentioned this on the 
board. Yeah, I know Read kit was only 5 bucks, but having to keep purchase one 
thing on top of the other is getting really annoying, especially if I am going 
to shell out another 20 bucks for Feed Wrangler. Is there a way around this? 
Thanks. I tried canceling, but importing seems to be dimmed. Thanks

Re: ReadKit

[Alex Hall]

I don't use the app, and I don't know about your second question. Your pirst, 
though, sounds like a VO annoyance. From what you described, I'll bet the app 
highlights or otherwise changes the title once you arrow to it. When that 
happens, vo will read the new text, interrupting itself to do so if it must. 
See if there's anything in settings about highlighting articles, and/or change 
VO's action when text changes to "nothing". You can find that by hitting vo-v1 
then left or right arrow. Once you find the option, up and down arrow th change 
it, then enter to close the dialog.
