RSS aggregation
From Arnout Engelen
I think an RSS/Atom aggregator should be implemented as a plug-in for a cross-platform browser.
Standalone applications don't appeal to me much as RSS is very much web-centric.
Online aggregators are nice, but I want to be able to track local/non-public feeds - see also Restricted inter-application access.

Perhaps with http://www.bitfolge.de/nntp2rss-en.html ?

[edit] Brief
Seems to handle viewing multiple feeds at a time better than Sage.
Shows entries always ordered by date, i'd like them to be ordered by feed first.
The default style doesn't allow a lot of information on 1 page, I made a minimal style
[edit] Sage
Sage is nice, but i was missing some features.
I hacked together:
- show an overview of all headlines (one 'block' of headlines per feed) (added this to bugzilla as a feature request, planning to make a neat patch for it)
- visited links can be hidden (not sure if i like this yet)
Ideas TODO:
- hmm, doesn't seem to refresh properly when new items come available, though feeds coming available do work? Hm, it seems to be somehow delayed.
- tooltip with part of the article text
- UI for configuration
- submit patch upstream :)
- icon
- `mark all items in all feeds as read' button
A nice evening of hacking produced rudimentary functionality: http://bzzt.net/~arnouten/sagehack.png (TODO put pic back up)
Of course, it'd be even nicer if it could store my 'currently read' information on the web somewhere, so that it'd stay in sync even if i change machines/dualboot.
Some interesting discussions:
