Google Reader iPhone Skin uses the Greasemonkey concept of modifying the look and feel of a web application through dynamically loaded JavaScript. By deconstructing the DOM and obfuscated .js file, I modified the page elements while preserving Reader’s basic functionlity. For the iPhone, I’m hoping that JavaScript bookmarks will work as they do on the desktop browser.

Requires Safari 3 for Mac or Windows

Google Reader features preserved:

  • Starring
  • Viewing Subscriptions
  • Viewing Folders
  • Next/Previous Item
  • Manual Refresh Button
  • Automatic “Infinite” Scrolling
  • Plus: After a period of inactivity, it will disable Reader’s automatic refresh feature to help preserve your battery. You will be prompted to resume activity when you return.

    • Built with Yahoo! UI Library, Safari’s “Inspect Element” window, and Firefox’s Firebug.

      Requires Safari 3 for Mac or Windows

    2. Log in to your Google Reader account.

    3. Resize your browser smaller for a more accurate iPhone simulation, then click your new iPhonify bookmarklet… Google Reader will transform into the iPhone look and feel (it may take 5 – 10 seconds).
