Newest Reader

It’s been a long time since I last posted. I’ve re-engineered my python code to go against Google Reader for the data and sync back. I plan to post the python code and the database structure to my punchingsoup website. I’ll transition posts about my RSS stuff there and use this site for more general ramblings.

The goal of this code is to provide a starting point for innovation in feed readers. My hope is to have and support a robust toolkit that will provide a developer with data collection and a set of api’s to interface with the database. I want to work out a module structure in the long run so that options like getting data from postrank or tweetmeme will be possible. I’ve got alot of plans just need to get them into some form of roadmap to help me focus, plus a little feedback wouldn’t hurt.

Here’s a video I made of my RSS Reader front end using the above mentioned code. I’m not releasing the front end yet but soon I hope it will be just one option of many.
