What do you think of this?
I saw an RSS aggregator yesterday called Lilina that looked promising. The trouble with it is that it’s this huge wad of code. I’m not sure what features I’m lacking (autodiscovery, OPML import/export, an admin panel!) but the output of this project - currently named “Fetch” - is pretty close. Plus, it works with EzStatic.
Some things I was thinking about adding were:
- AJAX methods to load additional feed data via links in the side. For example, "Tasty?" from del.icio.us, or a related search from Google or Waypath.
- Links to add the feed items to del.icio.us or Furl directly from the item.
- A button that goes directly to the WordPress post writing page with the content of the item in a blockquote.
- Related Technorati tag searches.
Anyway, all of what I currently have fits in two files and hovers around 500 lines of PHP code, including lastRSS. All told, Fetch is 18kb versus Lilina’s 200+kb. And it does exactly what I want.
