Remove Dupes from Google Reader

Because duplicate posts suck.

Found one bug in your script;

Going to the next news, using keys "J", "K" isn't working where the dupes were removed.

Oh and another suggestion; make the button use the same style as buttons on google reader and if possible align it next to "folder settings" button.

Hi,

I tried the script and it doesn't work for all the "dupes".
I'm subscribed to 24ur.com news(http://rss.24ur.com/index.rss)
and after clicking the "remove dupes" button, I can see the scroller getting bigger so therefore I assume that many of dupes were removed.. but when I read the news.. I can still find the duplicated news.
Hope this helps.

Hi, this seems to work well. The main thing I'd suggest right now would be to move the button - either immediately to the left of folder settings select list, or immediately to the right of the subscription title. Thanks, though, this does help with some feeds that provide dupes. If only it could group all the articles from various feeds about the same topic together, that would be REALLY nice! ;-)

Hey guys,

This is a version 0.1 test script that can remove dupes from Google Reader (a well needed feature!).

It still needs work to be more usable, but it works. What it does is add a Remove Dupes button above view settings on the All Items page.

If you could be so kind, to help me test it, and offer some C&C, I would appreciate it. It outputs which dupes it removes to the Firebug console.

You could comment on this script if you were logged in.
