Would Dropbox be a viable way to propagate an aggregated feed across devices ?

(Just thinking out loud)



No. Brent Simmons (author of NetNewsWire) wrote a post precisely about that 1.5 years ago

If every app did automatic OPML import/export, sure. That would keep your list of subscriptions in sync.


I was thinking more of propagating the read state of the feeds.

Maybe just a script that can run occasionally and dump the new items as a single HTML page (plus another file with state info) into Dropbox.
