feedmeplz now supports handheld CSS

Posted on June 29, 2007.

Today I realized I never got around to writing a handheld stylesheet for feedmeplz. I decided I would go through the process of separating my main stylesheet into a base stylesheet, screen stylesheet, and handheld stylesheet, and I got it done a lot faster than I expected. The stylesheet declarations now look like this:

<style type="text/css" media="all">
  @import url('/all.css');
</style>

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
  @import url('/screen.css');
</style>

<style type="text/css" media="handheld">
  @import url('/handheld.css');
</style>

And here are some screenshots from the Opera Mini simulator:

Nice, huh?

So what does this mean?

Well, this means that feedmeplz is a feed reader which you can access at home, at work, and on the go. You can manage, view, and share your feeds wherever you are, as long as you have access to the Internet. It might not be ideal for phones since you still have to visit the blogs in your feeds to read the content (and that might be slow), but as soon as I get around to adding support for categories in the app (a major and necessary improvement), it will be possible to make a category of "mobile-friendly" feeds which you can access on the go.

Needless to say, I would use feedmeplz on the go… but I'm supposed to say things like that.

Anyway, enjoy!
