Typical, just five minutes after I post about the need for an offline version of Google Reader I find Google Gears.

Google Reader in Google Gears

It’s in beta and I haven’t tested it but it promises to offer some of the functionality I’m looking for including using Google Reader offline!:

Google Gears (BETA) is an open source browser extension that enables web applications to provide offline functionality using following JavaScript APIs:

  • Store and serve application resources locally
  • Store data locally in a fully-searchable relational database
  • Run asynchronous Javascript to improve application responsiveness

I’ll let you guys know how well this works after I’ve played with it for a while!

    Let’s hope that it includes a duplicate content filter ;)
