Looking Feed on Feeds

Posted by Admun  Tags: ,
I have been using AmphetaDesk for quite sometimes now, but it never update and lack functions I really want. So, I start out to shop around what's out there.

There is a list of features I'm looking for that AmphetaDesk is lacking:
- New items tracking
- Categories
- Multi-users/authentication

Then I found Feed on Feeds, which is not the most good-looking and feature rich aggregator out there. But it has most of the fetaures I want, and there are potential to be a good contender for my ideal RSS aggregator.

What I think is missing currently from this cool software:
- A multi-user/authentication
- Categories to group feeds
- Improve content presentation layer that seperate contents and presentation, and a better default User Ineterface
- A better admin/config functions with many configurable functions

The good thing is many of these are planned, let's hope the next release is coming soon.

I have been using fof for about a week now, and so far so good.

However, I found problem on atom/rss2 feed from Nucleus that the HTTP conditional get doesn't seem to work, fof uses MagpieRSS (http://magpierss.sourceforg...) as the RSS backend. I also found many feeds have the same problem, too.... not sure it is MagpieRSS's problem.

I will need to look at it later.
