Cheetah News Blog

It’s been a long break since the last stable release 0.2 (aka v1), but lately a lot of work has been done regarding the new version of Cheetah News.

Cheetah News is a free web-based personal news aggregator. It helps you get the latest news and updates from your favorite sites and organize what is most relevant to you. Cheetah News is optimized for reading and managing large feed lists. To help you quickly explore your reading list, Cheetah News uses a sophisticated keyboard shortcuts system. Moreover, there is also notes and bookmarks organizer module, quick weather forecast report, easy OPML import and export handling, and support for on-the-fly feed entries translations to many languages.

Most stuff has been already finished regarding v2 and now it’s just polishing. There have been a lot of layout changes, but the biggest improvement is the possibility to open any feed without the need of subscribing it ahead and searching for new feeds using only a search terms. We have added also full OpenID support, new easy feed entries social-sharing feature, plus 101 other improvements!

Cheetah News is already available in Catalan, English, Esperanto, Spanish, Polish, and Ukrainian. Cheetah News works with Mozilla Firefox 1.5+, Safari 3+, Internet Explorer 6+ and Opera 9+.
