What is AOL Reader Notifier?

AOL Reader Notifier is an unofficial Chrome extension that periodically checks and displays the number of unread items in AOL Reader. It uses AOL OAuth for user identification and only stores a token for accessing Reader. The extension requires re-logging when the token expires for security reasons.

Important The time between password requests are absolutely controlled by AOL, and I don't have any way to extend it. It is usually 14 days long.

AOL Reader is a nicely designed and easy-to-use RSS aggregator. This extension is an unofficial application that periodically checks the users unread items, and shows this number in the extension icon area.

AOL is using AOL OAuth to identify the user, and the extension only stores a token on the client side that allows it to access the Reader. This token can only be used for accessing Reader though, and no other AOL services. For security reasons the user is required to re-log every time when the token expires (about once in a fortnight)

Changelog: 1.0.6: Allowed login with external identities (Facebook, Google, etc) Fixed a bug about the handling of folders

1.0.5: Options window Further improvements of the flow
