» Release: Feedjack - A Django+Python Powered Feed Aggregator
Update: 0.9.7 released.
Some months ago I wrote about Feedjack, a Django powered Feed agregator. Finally I have decent templates to release it.
You can read all the details or directly download it.
The basic features are (taken from the readme since I’m that lazy):
Like the Planet feed aggregator:But FeedJack also has some advantages:
- It downloads feeds and aggregate their contents in a single site
- The new aggregated site has a feed of its own (atom and rss)
- It uses Mark Pilgrim’s excelent FeedParser
- The subscriber list can be exported as OPML and FOAF
Originally written to be used in ChichaPlanet, it is handling now a lot more planets in the same instance:
- It handles historical data, you can read old posts
- It parses a lot more info, including post categories
- It generates pages/feeds with posts of a certain category (example)
- It generates pages/feeds with posts from a certain subscriber (example)
- It generates pages/feeds with posts of a certain category from a certain subcriber (example)
- A cloud tag/folksonomy (hype 2.0 compliant) for every page and every subscriber
- It uses Django templates
- The administration is done via web (using Django’s kickass autogenerated and magical admin site), and can handle multiple planets.
- Extensive use of django’s internal cache engine. Most of the time you will have no database hits when serving pages.
Share and enjoy.
