Jailbreak Only: RSSWidget - View An RSS Feed In Notification Center
by Joe White
October 23, 2011
A new jailbreak tweak called "RSSWidget" allows jailbroken iPhone users to house an RSS feed right in Notification Center, and view items in that feed there.
Because the widget can only display one RSS feed, this tweak isn't going to replace your usual iOS feed-reading app. But if you do have a favorite website, RSSWidget can display that website's content from within Notification Center. The feed URL can be configured in the Settings app, and users can move through items in the feed by swiping left and right (like you can in the built-in Weather and Stocks widgets). Furthermore, tapping on an item in the widget will take you to the article in Safari for iOS.
Currently, RSSWidget (full name: "RSSWidget for Notification Center") is available to download in Cydia for free. In order to download the tweak you'll need a jailbroken iOS device running iOS 5. For more information on how you can jailbreak under iOS 5, take a look at our how-to guide.
And if you do download RSSWidget, feel free to post your thoughts in the comments.
