Reinvented Feed Viewer for Windows Phone 8.1

The last half year has been revolutionary for Windows Phone from a developer’s perspective. Windows Runtime was extended from Windows 8.1 to Windows Phone 8.1. This is the successor to the Silverlight environment on which all apps are built. Feed Viewer was redesigned from the ground up to take advantage of the modern Windows Runtime. The benefit for users is that Feed Viewer downloads the latest content in the background. The device will cache fresh content without needing to run the app. This allows reading of the latest content in offline mode. It is also possible to subscribe to multiple sources at once. Mainstream sources were divided into categories. But the biggest improvement is fluid swiping between articles.
