Re: A Framework for Desktop Syndication

While I was writting the app, I was wondering how could I centralize the feed agregation since I would use several feeds, and I've been thinking another uses of feeds around the desktop. So I think that a solution like this could rock to approach a live desktop which can change using the internet content. Dodji.

Re: A Framework for Desktop Syndication
Hello, This sounds like a good idea to me. Maybe you should bring the developer of applications like liferea into the loop. There is certainly something to be shared with them. This kind of API could simplify the code base of apps like liferea and allow other applications to provide syndication to their users, at a very low development cost. Dodji.
