Website RSS Reader

[jtusa]

Wanting to get all the RSS feeds I want displayed on a page on my webserver so I can just hit that page and have all the feeds displayed. Does it exist? Been Googling it but haven't found anything yet.

Wouldn't that sort of defeat the purpose of an rss client? At any rate, something like that wouldn't be too hard to cook up in java or php, although a database would be handy, which might complicate things a bit...

I would do this for you, but my PHP skills are pretty stale. You might want to look into the SimpleXML library since RSS is pretty predictable.

This isn't quite what you're looking for but my.yahoo.com lets you add rss feeds.

EDIT: Also, Firefox lets you add RSS feeds to it's bookmarks.

Now that I think about it, what you're asking makes a tonne of sense. It's comparable to moving from a standalone email client to a webmail sort of thing, allowing you to read your news from anywhere without a browser. Is that whay my.yahoo.com does? There should be implementations of that out there, if not I think I'll write my own 🙂 Are you looking for something hosted elsewhere or code that you can run on your own server?

my.yahoo.com is a page you can customize, one of their new features is being able to add any rss feed to your page.

Cool. Still, there needs to be an open source tool that anyone can set up for themselves. And, thinking about the other thread that's about software patents, I hope no one's patented the idea of web-newsfeeds 😕

Probably because there nothing to patent there it is a matter of writing a script to your web site.

I really haven't much of a clue re: RSS feeds and such. But I noticed, because I am a TopStyle 3 user, that they have what looks to be a good RSS product.

This product is Just an RSS Reader. It is Good but it is not freeware. There are other products just as good that are Free.

Yep, it's pretty slick. I've added several RSS feeds to my yahoo page.......including this forum! It does limit you though on the max number of posts you can see.
