Fastladder

What is Fastladder?

Fastladder is a free web-based RSS/Atom feed reader.
It enables you to read latest entries from your favorite blogs or news so efficiently.
Comparing to old reading style, visiting one web site to another, you can get much more information in much shorter time.

How Fastladder is different?

The ONLY reader that can handle over 1000 feeds

While the number of your favorite blogs and news is increasing day by day, why should you stay with old-fashioned reading tool? The maximum numbers of web sites you can check everyday are about 50 in browsers' bookmark and about 200 in Bloglines and Google Reader. With such slow feed readers, it is difficult to keep up with the storm of latest information! On the other hand, Fastladder is designed to read over 1000 feeds whenever, wherever. For instance, with multiple sorting options, you will find necessary information whenever necessary in the order of necessity from vast amount of web sites.

Readers like Bloglines and Google Reader are too slow

Speed is the most important aspect when reading large number of web sites. For people who gather enormous amount of information, Bloglines and Google Reader are too slow! When over 1000 feeds are registered, feed reader that starts up for the fastest is Fastladder. Not only the quick boot-up time, prefetching function of Fastladder enables you to read one feed to another so smooth without loading time.

Approaching close to max human transaction speed

"With a better tool, we can gather much more information." That was the origin of Fastladder. We doubted the limit of ordinary feed reader and developed Fastladder aiming the maximum transaction speed of humans. We, humans, can extract topics that are important to us out from a thick newspaper with a lot of words. Fastladder has realized its transaction speed close to that of humans, making our information gathering speed 10 times faster than before.

Tips to maximize Fastladder performance

Pin function and keyboard shortcut

Pin function and keyboard shortcut must not be left behind to maximize Fastladder's super-fast usability.
  • Press 's' to move to the next feed
  • Press 'j' to move to the following article
  • Press 'p' to mark with 'pin' if you're interested
  • Press 'o' to open all 'pinned' articles in tabs (or windows) at once
By repeating these steps, you can read multiple feeds quickly without waisting time. To maximize pin function itself, we suggest you to take advantage of "Tab Mix Plus" a Firefox Add-on, that enables you to configure tab actions in details.

Categorize by rates, not folders

When more and more feeds are registerd to feed reader, it will get so much difficult to categorize with folders and sometims you will miss important updates. To prevent this unwanted practice, in Fastladder, categorizing by rates is recommended.

For example:
  • Feeds that you check all the time: 5 stars
  • Feeds that you check at least once a day: 4 stars
  • Feeds that you check once in 2-3 days: 3 stars
By this way, you will never miss another important update. Of cource you can switch categorizing option from rates to folders whenever you need, so choose one of two categorizing that is suitable for the occasion.
