Liferea is an abbreviation for Linux Feed Reader, a news aggregator for online news feeds. It supports the major feed formats including RSS/RDF and Atom and can import and export subscription lists in OPML format. Liferea is intended to be a fast, easy to use, and easy to install news aggregator for GTK+ that can be used with the GNOME desktop.
Liferea also supports Podcasting.
Pronunciation
The lead programmer of Liferea, Lars Lindner, who is German, pronounces the name of the software [lifəreja].[1]
Distinguishing features
It is written in C and uses no interpreter language.
To easily read linked articles or weblog comments, Liferea allows reading websites using an embedded browser, which can be either Mozilla/Firefox/XulRunner, GtkHTML or, in newer versions, Webkit. Additionally, the user can configure many predefined external browsers (e.g. Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, Opera, Epiphany, Konqueror) with which to open links.
It supports a number of different feed formats including RSS/RDF, CDF, Atom, OCS, and OPML, many of which its contemporaries can’t handle
By sorting subscriptions into folders, the user can read all headlines of a folder at once. By enabling a filtering preference, all previously read headlines of the folder can be hidden.
Similar to the mail client Evolution, Liferea supports search folders, which allow the user to save searches. Each search folder contains all headlines that match its user-defined search rules.[1]
Liferea does allow synchronizing against 3rd party services as TinyTinyRSS and TheOldReader.[2]
How To Use
To add a new feed, click on the add subscription button. Then you have to enter the URL of the feed and the rest is done by Liferea itself. The feed appears on the left side of the window.You can change the update frequency by right clicking on the feed and clicking on Properties in the menu. To read the complete article, click on the Launch in Browser link on right clicking a news item. You can even search the fields, clicking on the search button
Browser integration
In Web there is a news feed subscription extension, which allows adding news feeds when viewing websites.
For Firefox 1.5+ there is an extension (FeedBag) that allows adding subscriptions by simple clicking the LiveBookmarks icons in the Firefox address bar.
Since Firefox 2.0+, Liferea can be used without a special extension. To subscribe to new feeds from within Firefox, the Liferea helper script "liferea-add-feed" has to be configured in the Firefox feed subscription preferences.
