Web based feed aggregators -- Gregarius vs Planet
Wed, 2006-12-13 19:29 — Derek Cordeiro
It has been a while that Gregarius has been set up on
feeds.goa-india.org and has been working pretty fine with minor
downtime due to mysql and memory issues. Today I have set up Planet at
planet.goa-india.org. How do these two feed readers compare?
Gregarius is a PHP/MySQL based script. Its got buzzwords written all
over... Ajax!
Pros:
* Web based admin with adding a feed with just about one click
* support for themes
* support for plugins
* opml import/export makes switching to Gregarius a piece of cake
* support for tags and categories
* additional functionality like sticky articles, flagged articles, etc
Cons:
* Requires MySQL database
* requires cron
Planet is a python based feed reader powering a lot of "planets"
Pros:
* setting up is very straightforward for a geek.(just a few
commands will get it done)
* support for Author Photos
* requires only python 2.2
* generates static html output(easier on the server)
Cons:
* No Web based admin, feeds have to be added to a config file.
* requires cron.
* no theme switching available, templates are available though.
* since feeds have to be added manually, there is no direct opml import.
* no readily available plugins or themes(to my knowledge)
Please visit the sites http://feeds.goa-india.org/ and
http://planet.goa-india.org/ and give your opinion
