WIP prototype for a backend-less PWA feed reader replacing Liferea
Can be used as an
- Electron app
- Android app
While NewsAgain is technically a PWA as a feed reader it cannot be run in a normal browser as most websites do deliver feeds without permissive CORS headers causing a PWA to be unable to download them due to security errors. Electron/Android apps do not have this limitation.
npm install
npm test
npm run build
npm run build -- --release
Note that aside from all the NPM dependencies if you want to compile for Android you need:
- Android SDK with runtime v33.0.2 installed
- env variable set for Android SDK e.g.
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Android/Sdk - gradle 4.4.x
Run Electron app
npm start electron # Run Electron app
npm start electron --nobuild # Run without rebuild (much faster)
Run Android app on mobile in developer mode
npm start android --device
Run Android app in virtual device in Android Studio
cordova emulate android
Simple Cordova browser debug environment
npm start browser
