WP Feedly

Introduction

I created WP-Feedly from scratch, using the default Wordpress theme as a base, and jQuery to handle the heavy lifting. What has been achieved is a wordpress theme that mimics the looks and functionality of the popular feed reader/firefox extension, Feedly. Every functionality relevant to a blog has been implemented, and more that are not present in Feedly but necessary for a blog, such as comment posting (AJAX-enabled).

I, like many others, love Feedly. It’s design is clean and simple, while the functionality and the usability is absolutely impressive. As no one had yet released a Wordpress theme inspired by Feedly, I decided my first free and GPLed theme should be it. And so was born WP-Feedly.

The infinite ToDo

As Feedly grows so fast, it is a moving target, and so WP-Feedly will probably lag a bit behind, but I’ll try my best.

What’s missing now, or things I’d like to implement:

• More AJAX, notably the comments on the single post page
• AJAX popup boxes for posting to Twiter, delicious, etc…
• Show latest posts from top categories
• Anything else ? Comment here

Requirements

Everything WP-Feedly needs to run except wordpress should be included in the distribution. However, there are some nice extras or plugins which add functionality to the theme

• WordPress 2.71+ (may work with earlier versions)
• jQuery (included)
• jQuery.UI (included)
• wp-time-since plugin (recommended)(not included)
• SEO Pager (recommended)(not included)
• Sociable (recommended)(not included)
• Twitter for Wordpress (recommended)(not included)
