ttrss-mobile

A mobile webapp for Tiny Tiny RSS

What is it?

This webapp is a client for Tiny Tiny RSS. It uses its JSON API.

I started working on this because the default mobile version was somtimes slow, limited and not in good shape for future development.

ttrss-mobile is using:

• jQuery Mobile
• Backbone.js
• RequireJS

How to use it?

• Download the last version available here: releases
• Unpack the archive somewhere on your server
• In the scripts dir, copy conf.js-dist to conf.js and set these variables: window.apiPath and window.webappPath

How to hack on it?

You need node.js to make a build but you can still hack without it.

• Clone this repo on your webserver
• Hack on the files in src
• Test on the version in src
• Build with make/make.sh
• Test with the built version in build
• Make a pull request with your awesome contribution

Caveats

• You should not put this webapp in a subdir of your Tiny Tiny RSS install. On update, it could be wiped. For more info, see this post from HunterZ on the forum.

• Make sure that the user you'll use to connect has the API activated in Tiny Tiny RSS preferences :

  • in Tiny Tiny RSS go into Actions -> Preferences
  • Configuration -> Enable external API

• If you want to host this webapp on another hostname than your Tiny Tiny RSS instance, you'll find a solution using CORS in this issue.
