Habari Xenu is a News Aggregator that is built on top of the powerful Mozilla web platform.
What is a News Aggregator?
A News Aggregator is a program that periodically downloads the latest headlines
from your chosen news sources and displays them in one convenient place. It
enables you to glance at the latest headlines and gives you the ability to read
the full story behind those headlines that interest you. In conjunction with
Mozilla's tabbed browsing feature, a program like Habari Xenu helps you
quickly catch up with all the latest news from your favorite news sources.
What inspired the creation of Habari Xenu?
Habari Xenu was directly inspired by Aggreg8
which used to be the only free XUL-based news aggregator back in the day. Early
versions of HX had a UI very much like Aggreg8's. Habari Xenu also borrowed ideas
from RSS Reader and
Sage.
Looking for translaters
As Habari Xenu is reaching stability and nearing version 1.0 it is becoming
very important to localize Habari Xenu into other languages. Please
