Is it possible to tag/star/etc items?

Also I want to implement bayesian filtration so is there an interface for plugins?

The reader itself looks and feels great so may be you should start kickstarter project to fund development?

No one of this sorting feature are available for now.

There is no plugins interface at this point, just for storage backend.

It's more like a javascript training project for me. But I will continue to improve it for sure. I think great javascript devs will cry about the code but contribution/cleaning are welcome.

The online demo looks nice but I would like to try it out in a VM.

I followed the steps in the README but `pip install leselys` and `leselys init --config leselys.ini` are throwing errors. I am not used to pip yet but from the message errors I gathered I had to install gcc, python-dev (maybe?) and a "sofart back-end".

What else is needed to make it run on http://localhost:5000 in a fresh new minimal ubuntu 12.10 (for instance) ?

If you don't want to use mongodb backend you can easily use sofart, its my own mongodb portable like sqlite.

Just follow this steps: http://paste.socketubs.net/tinabirera.hs

Come back if you need more help.

Thanks, it's now working. These are the needed packages to make it run on my minimal install:

    sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev python-libxml2 python-libxslt1 build-essential python-dev

On to testing now :)

Thanks! I'll add it on README page. :)

No J/K navigation :(

(That is pretty much the first thing I check for in google reader replacements)

Interesting feature! Please add github issue for it.

Looks good, but the demo is broken if you access it over HTTPS in Chrome

  [blocked] The page at https://leselys.herokuapp.com/ ran insecure content from http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js.

The README says the license is AGPLv3, but the LICENSE is a copy of the modified BSD license. Which one is it? (I prefer the AGPLv3 for network services, but modified BSD works just as well)

It's AGPLv3. Thanks you!

Cool name :) What's the story behind it?

It's the Norwegian word for "reader", or something like that. Just because I love Norway :)

"Reading light", actually :) Quite appropriate and unique. Greetings from the frigid north!

Personal ;-)

Why is that funny?

? Just trying to help whoever wrote the title with their spelling, and being friendly about it. Looks like they caught it and changed the title.
