PPC RSS Aggregator

After about a month of working on it off and on, my PocketPC RSS aggregator actually is functional...I'm still deciding whether or not the client will just be ie on the PPC, or if I'll also make a CF client reader. (I probably will).  It's fully coded in .NET, of course...

Features include:

  • User specified thread limit for updates
  • Can run as a service in the background (updates on a user specified time increment)
  • Creates an index page with anchors to specific stories, etc.
  • Adds file to folder that is synchronized with ActiveSync (user specifies which device(s) to sync to, read from the registry)
  • Reads opml files (from other aggregators)

Not Yet Implemented:

  • User specified # of layers to crawl and archive.
  • Support for that other protocol?

It's still not ready to release, though.  I should post a pic up at some point.

Update: After quite some time without revisiting this project, I've been asked about it again (see my response to the first inquiry here ), unfortunately, not much progress has been made since this point, but I”m writing another post on future plans (link will go here very shortly).

  • I currently use PocketFeed and have suggested some ways to develop the program further. However I have yet so see anything implemented and was curious on how you are doing with your RSS aggregator. Any news? / willing to e-mail a test copy?
