ocNews for Nokia N9
Native Harmattan client for the ownCloud News App. Synchronizes with your ownCloud server and can also be used offline (at least you can see all local available feed items and data, not the website content itself). Can manage feeds and folders on the ownCloud server (add, remove, move). User interface is inspired by the original Nokia N9 Feed Reader.
If you have not purchased ocNews on Nokia Store and like it and want to support the development, a donation would be nice. :)

After the installation process I mistakenly set-up a wrong account, I tried both to edit the current profile and create a new one from the account manager but neither of them worked - the profile mask simply doesn't appear. What I can do? Deleting ~/.local/ocNews doesn't help.

If the issue is still present for you, please try version 1.9.4. Under Settings/Maintenance there is an option to remove all ocNews accounts.

Sorry for all the time passing by. I don't have the N9 anymore and use qemu for the development there, what makes development really slow and annoying. Next problem is the bad documentation of the accounts for Harmattan. I did not changed anything, but on the emulator currently nothing works with my account setup. I am still investigating the issue. Sorry for that long time.

Do you plan to make the source code available? The source link on the web page is dead.

Because your server does not support SSL? Which platform, Sailfish or Harmattan?
