http://timhoeck.com/files... - Consider this a "Pre" beta.. I am working on a number of things, and I'll list them so we know what not to report.. really though at this point, I want to know one thing. Is this the layout you want for a FriendFeed app, or do you want something else?

At this point I have "most" of the features in. I still have a lot to work on for realtime updating, but I want to know if this is the 'view' or 'look' that you want out of a FF app. Particularly down the road with real-time... it will be too frustrating reading an entry, only for it to get bumped off your screen. We could implement a pause button like the FF page, but I think that defeats the purpose.
- Tim Hoeck
My particular concerns with a list style, scrolling view of FF is balancing what to show on the screen, and what options to give, vs. usability. I don't want comments on a list of entries, because it makes a list way too long. I don't particularly want buttons on each entry, but long clicking is too frustrating... so give me your thoughts, suggestions, concerns... and I'll work with them.

So on to known things with this beta: I would recommend for now to only use wifi (however, I use it fairly ok on edge).. I'll be working more on streamlining downloads to a minimum. If you find something broken, I probably know about it :) Uploading pictures doesn't work, landscape is a little goofy, there are no real "updates", so if you comment,like, etc.. you won't see the change until a reload. Caching atm does not auto-clear, but can be cleared from the settings.. it caches only to SD for now. Images probably won't load until you scroll the entry off the screen a bit... Other than that, have fun, and please tell me how you want this thing to work.

Tim, do you want comments here, email, or do you have a ticket tool set up?
- Eric Sinclair
here is fine for now, Eric. I really want to hear how people want this to work.. I know most of the bugs and such (which are being worked out now)

Great app, much nicer than reading it in the browser. But I read ff mostly for the comments, so for me it would be much better if the comments just appeared by default.
