Paperdroid Pro & free 1.0.5

The amount and quality of help and feedback I received after 1.0.3 is astonishing. Thanks to the relentless help of Mario C., ggrell, Micah C. and probably somebody else I forgot (sorry, it's been quite an intense day email-wise), the problems with random and semi-random force closes should be fixed. What's even better, with the new catchin' 'n' loggin' infrastructure in place, and - more importantly - these fantastic users/testers I'm so lucky to have, any similar problems in the future should be fixed much more quickly.

Thank you everybody for the incredible support!

...time to code some long-overdue new features!

On the mechanics of the net society and apparently misleading headings.

Pushed a quick 1.0.3 Paperdroid update, that seems to be able to intercept FC-causing errors and give the user a chance to send the log. I really hope it'll work this time.

Paperdroid force closing: a battle is lost, but the war continues

There's an uncaught exception that is wrecking havoc (or, less dramatically, semi-randomly causing the dreaded Force Close dialog) among many Paperdroid installations. It seems to affect some G1s as well as many Droids; unfortunately my data on the matter is scarce.
In an effort to solve the mystery, I published Paperdroid 1.0.2 - which, besides a minor bug fix, didn't have any new features but for an attempt in getting these errors properly logged.
Now, after some days in which I had unrelated events to take care of, it is clear that the attempt failed miseramente - I'm getting exactly nothing.

Paperdroid


Paperdroid is an offline article reading Android app that integrates with the excellent service Read It Later and/or Google Reader.

Found an interesting but long article while surfing in a costly internet point? Skimming hastily through your feeds for worthy posts? Just save the page to Read It Later (via bookmarklet, the Firefox extension etc.) or star it in Google Reader - and have Paperdroid automatically download it to your trusty Android phone for offline reading pleasure.

Paperdroid beta soon!

After (not that) much sweating, Paperdroid is finally getting somewhat close to at least resembling something that vaguely pretends to be a functioning app.
Paperdroid will be - hopefully - a mobile offline reading app a là Instapaper (whence the unconceivably original name) - which happens to be the only app I miss after The Big Switch to the Android platform.
Initially, and perhaps indefinitely, it will support the very much excellent (and free) service Read It Later that provides an almost amazing public API. Innumerable kudos are in order for that fine guy.

Beta testers wanted!
