News, As It's Published
Tuesday, 24 February 2015
A simple news feed aggregator I've been working on. I'm still polishing up the interface but it's quite useable, at least locally.
Set your own RSS feeds in the config file, load it up and wait for something interesting to come in. Once running you can filter the feed using the input on the right, creating tags as you go.
Technically, it's a Node.js backend that will periodically refresh from an array of urls in a json file. These are then rendered in the client using Facebook's React framework.
All communication happens via Socket.io, and for a bit of fun the number of other readers is broadcast.
See the code and try it for yourself.
