An RSS Reader with a difference

RSSTrigger is a mobile RSS Reader with a difference. When an RSS Feed is updated it sends an application trigger message to the device launching the RSS Reader. The RSS Reader on the mobile will display the basic details provided by the message. The user is then given the option to launch a Web Browser displaying more information.

The advantages of RSSTrigger over traditional mobile RSS readers is that it is not continually polling over an data network. It is comparable to SMS Alerts but RSSTrigger has the advantage of allowing the presentation of the content within an application.

RSSTrigger is alpha software.

Usage
You need to install the RSSAppTrigger.jar on your mobile.
RSSAppTrigger.jar will then listen for RSS updates.

On your PC you need to install the RSSTrigger application.

Once installed add RSS feeds by pasting the URL of the feed into the

Every minute the RSSTrigger will check for any updates on the RSS Feed
and then push them to your device.

Requirements
RSSAppTrigger requires a phone with a Java Push registry. It has been
tested with a Nokia N95 and a Nokia N80. If you experience any problems
running this application on your phone then please contact us using the
forums.

RSSTrigger has been tested using Windows and Linux. For Windows you need
to download the Ruby and install Ruby-Gnome2.

For Linux you need to install Ruby, Ruby-Gnome2 and the GTK.
Instructions differ dependent on distributions of Linux. If there is enough
demand I may create a Debian package.

Mobile Installation
Download the MobileComponent of RSSTrigger and install onto your mobile.

If you are using a Nokia device we recommend you using the PCSuite. We have encountered problems when installing through Bluetooth Messaging.

Running RSSTrigger
Extract RSSTrigger.zip into a new folder on your computer. Open a command or terminal window in this folder.

If your Internet connection uses a HTTP Proxy then set the http_proxy environment variable.
E.g.
set http_proxy=http://a.proxy.server:3128/

Execute RSSTrigger.rb to launch the desktop application.
