Mogr - your mobile starting point

Published Thursday, February 21, 2008 in Design, Web Work

I just released a beta of my latest project, Mogr ('Mo' is for mobile, 'g' is for google and the 'r' adds to the web 2.0:iness and stands for RSS:) also, Mog is a creature from Final Fantasy).

Mogr is meant to be your mobile starting point and is very simply a list of your favourite feeds packaged in a neat interface that should fit your mobile phone nicely.

There's also a search-bar that lets you query your favourite search-engine.

Feeds are cached for an hour and site-favicons are cached forever (well, till i manually clear the file). All information you save on the site (your feeds, search-engine and other various settings) are stored in a cookie so there's no need for any sign-up.

Simply surf over to mogr.pixlperfik.com and add your feeds.

I've already received a couple of requests, and come up with some of my own, here's what you can expect in future releases:

1. Allow user to turn on/off images (possibly resize images) in feeds
2. Proper heading-levels in feeds (no feed-content's heading should exceed h4 (feed-item-title is h3 and feed-title h2))
3. More styles!
4. Ajax form-submissions and feed-fetching (maybe, depending on mobile browsers support)
5. Refresh feed-icon (force refresh even if cached)
6. Some layout-changes
   • Separate forms visually
   • Make headings expand feeds (and feed-items) rather than expand-icon (and add visit-icon instead)
   • Decrease font-size to 80% (is at 100% but that's too big in every browser (stupid, stupid))

Sorry you didn't like the current style, but like I mentioned in the comment above I'll be adding more styles shortly.
