Read Blogs Without Leaving Visual Studio
Jon, the creator of SharpTools, sent me mail to let me know about his latest creation... a plugin that lets you read blogs indide the Visual Studio IDE. I've gave it a shot and I have to say that it looks pretty cool.
This open source plugin ships as part of SharpTools 2.0 and is a full-featured RSS / Blog aggregator which integrates into the familiar dockable panes of the Visual Studio.NET IDE. You're gonna love it when you start blogging from within the development environment! Features include:
- Support for folders or individual feeds
- Drag-and-drop support for feeds and folders
- Preview a new feed as you add it
- Easy control of all feed properties
- Automatic and on-demand refresh of feeds
- Automatic feed search based on a site URL
- Keyword searching for published feedsusing Synic8
- Keyword search within all subscribed feeds
- Import of feed subscriptions from an OPML file
