Open-source RSS reader is now available to public

Open-source version of "Fastladder," an English version of our "livedoor Reader," has been released today.

Open-source Fastladder, which we call OpenFL, is an RSS reader to be installed on your PC or server with a capability to handle RSS feeds available within your Intranet.

A binary installer is available at download section of our website, so feel free to give it a try.
Source code of OpenFL is also available at "Fastladder - Google Code" to be checked out for developers.

Instructions to install OpenFL is:

Download the installer to your Desktop.
Execute the file and follow the wizard to complete installation.

A folder named "Fastladder" is created.
Click and start both "Start Crawler" and "Fastladder".

Your web browser will be navigated to a login screen.
If you are signing in for the first time, you need to create your
account by following "Create New Account."
Important: Login ID at your local OpenFL is not associated with
"livedoor Reader" or "Fastladder."

After signing in, click "Add" and register RSS feed URL.

Once a feed is added, newly available articles will be displayed.

Fastladder supports OpenID! Now you can create your account much easier!

It's been a long time since the first post. Our service is in operation without any problem since the launch.
Moments ago, we released OpenID logging in to our service. With an OpenID, your email address and password is totally unnecessary when logging in.

for users who already have Fastladder account

Those who already have Fastladder account, you can build a link between your account and OpenID.

for users who don't have Fastladder account yet

If you have Vox or LiveJournal account, you already have your OpenID!
At the OpenID input form, try entering your ID such as:

• username.vox.com
• username.livejournal.com

We are now planning to make sign up process much simpler. Classic-style registration is still going to be provided but hard-to-read text and email verification is always required.

So if you already have an OpenID and want to take a look at Fastladder, try signing up with your OpenID for easier registration. If you know anyone who wants to try our service, recommend them signing up with OpenID!
