GreatNews goes open source
I have to say I haven’t spent a lot of time on GreatNews lately. Save the usual excuses, the most important thing is how to keep GreatNews updated regularly. I’m considering what’s the best way to release GreatNews source code. Most of the code base are safe to open, but there are small amount of code belong to other people that I have to either ask for permission, or compile into library. I will try to finalize this in the Christmas break. In the mean while, let me know your thoughts!
Thanks for your support of GreatNews. I hope you will continue enjoying it.

I, for one, think this is a smart move. I haven’t been using it for a while, but once you publish it as open source I might have a go at it again.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:15 am
Thank you! I think making a project at sf.net would be an easiest method.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:39 am
is possible to use for an on-line service?
December 9th, 2009 at 4:21 am
That’s a good idea, I think it will be a special attraction.
December 9th, 2009 at 8:04 am
That’s a great idea… I hope you found the way to release it via opensource. GreatNews is a great RSS reader…
December 9th, 2009 at 8:06 am
This is a wonderful present to the community. I enjoy reading my feeds with GreatNews for a long time now. And I have not found any other newsreader alike.
Unfortunately there some minor glitches (like sporadic termination of the client). I hope to see this great piece work being improved by enthusiasts.
The one thing that is really great is the color coding and filtering. Perhaps some more advanced improvements for these features will emerge.
I am very happy to see this development.
Thank you so much,
Christian

GREAD IDEA!!!
December 9th, 2009 at 11:33 am
I ithink this is a very good idea
December 9th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
I have continued to use GreatNews dispite it not being updated. I haven’t found a better reader yet.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
That great news for Great News, I hope you really make it opensource and other developers start making some improvements we haven’t seen for too long.
It’s still the best RSS reader I could find.
December 11th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Good Luck! I use GreatNews and it’s awsome!
December 12th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
This is a wonderful idea! I’m using greatnews for a long time now and a movement to open source would be very attractive for the future or this product…
December 13th, 2009 at 10:15 am
I`ve been using GreatNews for about two years now and it`s still my feedreader of choice. It`s faster than others (especially if you got a lot of subscriptions), reliable and lets me view the feeds the way I want. So thanks for this great product! Going open source would be a smart move, and I hope the developement of GreatNews will continue.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:45 am
I for one am saddened by the news, as it doesn’t seem like GreatNews could be in any more competent hands than its author. You’ve created a truely beautiful and useful program.
For curiosities sake, what language did you use?
December 16th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
GreatNews is written in Visual C++ with WTL library.
It’s true it’s easier to maintain a consistent style if everything is done by myself. But there will be inherent bandwidth issue with just one developer. I’m sure there are plenty of able hands out there to move GreatNews forward more rapidly. Going open source just mean I will also act as a coordinator, instead of just a sole developer for GreatNews.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
congratulations… happy new year too!
i’m using portable version and i love it.
tks
December 21st, 2009 at 5:52 pm
Thank you very much!
GreatNews is great, and opening its source will make it even better.
December 22nd, 2009 at 9:20 pm
I would like to thank you for your work so far. GreatNews is the reader I like best and I use it every day.

I have used GreatNews every day for several years now and will continue to do so even if there is no future update.
An update sure would be nie, though.
January 6th, 2010 at 12:37 pm
very glad to hear the news. Greatnews is still the best rss reader i’ve ever used.
January 7th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
I wonder if you decide to ditch the slow IE engine and replace it with something more modern. Showing stuff like embedded YouTube videos and such would a extremely handy.
Keep up the good work!
January 30th, 2010 at 10:26 am
That’s really a smart move. Thanks. I have been using Greatnews for a while and none of its so far the best RSS reader I have used. RSSBandit is just sluggish, feeddaemon too bulky, etc.
Lots of time I thought “if only that was an open source project”… And now it’s done!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
I am a fan of Greatnews too, I am also a developer, I know it is difficult to maintain a project for a long time along without any revenue. So if Greatnews becomes open source, I would like to join your team and work with you to help Greatnews to become better.
February 9th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
Where’s the download link of the source code? And in what language is it? .net?
February 26th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
I am very happy to see this development.
Thank you so much,
March 29th, 2010 at 1:03 am
Great job, and great news, it seems we couldn’t download source code so far. So, any update for open source ?
March 29th, 2010 at 3:58 am
very good idea.
I think it will be a special attraction.
April 23rd, 2010 at 1:06 am
That’s a good idea, I think it will be a special attraction.

January 9th, 2011 at 9:01 am
I hope you really make it opensource and other developers start making some improvements we haven’t seen for too long.

I am grateful for your post. I would really like to comment that the tariff of car insurance varies widely from one insurance plan to another, for the reason that there are so many different issues which give rise to the overall cost. For example, the brand name of the vehicle will have a significant bearing on the purchase price. A reliable ancient family car will have a more economical premium when compared to a flashy racecar.

There are certainly most details like this to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I know that that your job is clearly acknowledged as a fair game.
