It's that old proverb again: you can never have enough hats, bags or RSS readers. I've been testing yet another one today by the name of NewsAlloy, and it's not too shabby. The service has a fairly standard set of features like archiving, grouping and the ability to import your OPML file, but not a page refresh in sight! The guys at Ajaxian provide some good tips for the NewsAlloy team:
These guys have opted for the "zero page refresh" approach. It looks like tabs and menus are all handled with web remoting with a little "Loading ..." progress indicator in the corner...It would be nice to see some drag-and-drop in these readers, to help categorise feeds, save posts, and so on. Also, people spend a lot of time inside their feed readers, so keyboard shortcuts are critical.
