Google Reader Update

Following up on my previous post, today was a quite a productive day. As mentioned, I’m porting Google Reader at the moment. I made a screencast to show you some of the improvements.

Speed

Here are the raw numbers:

  • Full sync, improved build: 4s
  • Full sync, current build: 13s

That’s a saving of 9s, a whopping 70% improvement in sync time.

Favicons

Notice how all favicons load properly (except a few ones but those feeds have no favicons) and none of the favicons are FeedBurner’s.

Friends

I also managed to get your friends’ shared feeds into EventBox.
