Tiny Tiny RSS is a server-side RSS feed aggregator written in PHP and heavily based on XmlHttpRequest and related technologies for user interface and operation.

For years Ive been searching for a perfect RSS aggregator. I tried desktop ones (Straw, Blam!, Liferea) - while nice programs they usually lacked something or were overencumbered with features. Also, desktop aggregators cant solve the problem of keeping read feeds in sync between different machines.

I tried server-side aggregators, several ones. Unfortunately, I didnt find anything that felt usable, they had all the problems of classical web applications - clunky interface, no realtime updates, just not designed the way I like it, etc.

Well, then the obvious solution was to write an aggregator myself. I also felt the need to exercise in simple XmlHttpRequest web application programming, so TT-RSS was born. While obviously being on early stages on development and pretty much unfinished it offers a lot of functionality of desktop application while staying on server-side with all the benefits it provides.

Evolution RSS Reader Plugin adds RSS feeds support for evolution mail. RSS support was built upon the somewhat existing RSS support in evolution-1.4 branch.
The motivation behind this was to have RSS in same place as mails, at this moment I do not see the point having a separate RSS reader since a RSS Article is like an email message. Probably thats the same reason for NNTP support in evolution.
At this time feeds Artiles are only displayed as summary (with html).
Compilation:
Youll need a preety new version of evolution in order to build. Ive tested with 2.8.
Unpack evolution-rss-0.0.1.tar.gz.
Run:
./configure
make
make install
then enable Evolution Rss under Edit->Plugins and you are all setup.
Enhancements:
- HTML display on summary view was fixed.
- Network connection was cleaned up.
- Network sesions and errors are now properly handled.
- The setup page was moved to Evolution Preferences.
- A network configuration tab was added with a proxy option and a proxy auth option.
- Some atom parsing content problems were fixed.
- Canceling of all pending requests is now properly handled.
- Force loading of images is done when browsing feeds.
- User/password authentication support was added to feeds.
- A switch summary/HTML view was added.
- Various segfaults when parsing HTML were fixed.

Example Usage:

Rename digg_ripper.py-dist

mv digg_ripper.py-dist digg_ripper.py

Edit the FTP values at the top of the script to point to your own FTP.

FTP_HOST = example.com
FTP_USER = username
FTP_PASS = password
FTP_DIR = ~/path/to/public_html

Run it:

python digg_ripper.py

or

./digg_ripper.py
