RSS Aggregator

[billstclair]

It would be nice to have a user-configurable RSS aggregator. It will require a backend to periodically poll the RSS feeds and cache the XML, likely pre-parsed into just the fields the display code cares about. The webmaster would decide which sites would be available, and individual users would be able to filter that list, and send email requests to add sites.

The aggregator would likely be written in Elm, run on the server in Node.js, and store its data the same way that Xossbow stores pages and templates, via HTTP PUT or another backend key/value store.

Likely candidate for the XML parser: eeue56/elm-xml

This could, of course, become more general-purpose, like Google Reader used to be, but that requires a business model to pay for the user storage.
