RSS Guard
=========
RSS Guard is simple (yet powerful) feed reader. It is able to fetch the most known feed formats, including RSS/RDF and ATOM. RSS Guard is developed on top of the [Qt library](http://qt-project.org/) and it supports these operating systems:
* Windows XP and newer,
* GNU/Linux,
* OS/2 (eComStation),
* Mac OS X (possibly),
* xBSD (possibly),
* other platforms supported by Qt.
RSS Guard is written in C++. It is pretty fast even with tons of messages loaded. The core features are:
* multiplatformity,
* support for all feed formats,
* simplicity,
* sweet look & feel,
* open-source development model based on GNU GPL license, version 3,
* tabbed interface,
* integrated web browser + external browser support,
* desktop integration via tray icon,
* Qt library is the only dependency,
* dynamic keyboard shortcuts,
* no ads, no hidden costs.
Installation
------------
You need to compile RSS Guard if binary distribution is not available for your platform. Basic steps are really simple:
```
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\Program Files\rssguard"
make install
```
This compiles and installs RSS Guard using Qt 4 on Windows machines. Qt 5 can be used too. Head to [CMakeLists.txt](https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt) file for more information on this topic.
Other information

* If you want to have some feature/ehancement implemented in RSS Guard, then **file an issue request**.
* If you want to translate RSS Guard, then contact me or **file an issue request** too.
